ANOTHER ERRING MINIsTER.-The Examiner

OF the Baptist church. contained yesterday the
following paragraph in regard to minister
about whose shortcomings there have been
plentiful rumOrs for several weeks: at is with
surprise and grief, not readily expressed. that
we refer to the deep disgrace which has fallen
on one so widely known and warmly esteemed
as Rev. G. A. PeltZ, d. D.. pastor OF the
Baptist church OF jamestown, New York.
The facts came out last week, and the
pastor was under the necessity OF instantly
resigning and leaving town. 1t would be too
much to suppose that all the facts have yet
been made public but it cannot be doubted that
he had been guilty OF an improper intimacy
with an interesting young woman employed as
his amanuenss. 1t is simply horrible to think OF
such fall Oh the part OF such a man-proDa bly,
the most widely known and influential Sunday
school man in the Baptist denomination. We
are told by friends who have since seen him In
Philadelphia that his penitence is OF the deep
