T 2 RESIGNATION OF 4 PAsToR.-On Sunday
last; Rev. A. E.. Dickinson resigned the pas
toral charge Of the Leigh-Street Baptist
church. Mr.. Dickinson gave as reason for
this step the fact that his editorial labors,
already arduous in connection with the
conduct Of the Religious Herald, will be
greatly increased by the duties devolEing
upon him since the purchase of the Sunday
School Banner, which will hereafter be pub
lished under the management of the editors
of the Herald. He feared that the proper
discharge of these duties would interfere
with his usefulness as pastor. The an
nouncement was received with much feeling
by the large congregation present on Sunday,
morning, and the whole community will
svmpathize with the church in the loss of a
faithful and devoted pastor.
