Mr. Owens for the past year has not been enjoying the best of health, and upon the advice of his physicians he removed his residence to Poolesville, in the hope of recuperating his strength sufficiently to be able to return to Washington within a few months. His hopes in this direction did not, however, materialise, and it is with great regret that he is obliged to leave the Capital for a cltmate more congenial, and where the prospects are brighter for his complete restoration to health. He handed in his resignation Thursday, which was reluctantly accepted by the church. Mr.

Owens was held In the highest esteem by all who knew him. His service as pastor of Maryland Avenue Baptist Church resulted in the doubling of the membership during his pastorate. He was one of the youngest of the Baptist ministers in this city as well as one of the most enterprising. He leaves Washington to enter upon his new duties at Waynesboro, on April 1. WITH THE EPISCOPALIANS.

There will be opportunity this coming wdek of hearing two preachers who will be preaching in the city under circumstances of more -than ordinary interest. Bishop Strange, Bishop of East Carolina, is to inaugurate the series of Lenten lectures which have been given for some years under the auspices of the Churchman's League. Bishop Strange's subject will be "Church unity." The lectures will be given each Tuesday at p. m. in St.

John's Church, Lafayette Square. Different choirs will render the music. On the occasion of the first lecture SL John's choir will sing. While In the city Bishop Strange will be the guest of Bishop Harding. The other preacher referred to Is the venerable Archdeacon Weber, who is preaching a mission at Christ Church, Georgetown, and who should be heard, as he ts a man much gifted as an evangelist.

He devotes himself entirely to the work of holding missions, and It ts said that is accomplishing much permanent good. Following a custom begun by Bishop Satterlee, an address tr the communicants of the diocese will be given by the bishop at vi." p. m. in Ascension Church every Saturday during Lent. The attendance of all communicants is earnestly to be desired, since these addresses have been found helpful and stimulating.

On account of a severe cold, the bishop was obliged to cancel his appointment to confirm at Calvary Chapel on -Friday. The following list of preachers at the midday Lenter. services for business people, held at 12:06 o'clock sharp in Epiphany Church, should bA carefully preserved. On account of the fewer names the series on the whole should be more helpful, giving opportunity for greater continuity. A different preacher every day for forty days is likely to result in Monday, March the Bishop of Wash tngton.
