Resignation of the Rev. G. Fraser Elliott

We understand that the Rev. G. Fraser Elliott has resigned the pastorate of the Buntingford Congregational Church, and concludes his ministry at the end of June. 

For nearly 13 years he has actively and faithfully discharged his duties as Pastor. It is generally hoped that he will not be leaving the neighbourhood. Only recently the Layston Parish Council re-appointed him one of the Layston School Managers, and he is also a representative trustee of the Buntingford Charities.

During his pastorate in the town Mrs Elliott has been of the greatest help to him in varied and useful work as a minister's wife. She has conducted during the past ten years a Coal Club for the benefit of the working classes, which has been much appreciated, and has had an average of 50 members. Other useful institutions which she established in connection with the Congregational Church, and which have flourished under her special care, have been the Girls' Guild and Magazine Society. 

The Rev. G. Fraser Elliott has had a lengthy experience in the ministry, and can look back to no less than 36 years' strenuous work as a Congregational minister.
