in which a mob came to the woman'H
assistance and fourished revolEers, the

MR. WENDELl,s nEsIGNAIIoN.
Caused by the Inability OF His
church TO Pay HIS Salary.

Church 10 Pay HIS Salary.
The Household of Faith Church, in
consequence Of the heavy money Obliga
tionS incurred by the erection Of It's
church eiifiee, has found itself unable to
continue to carry out its arrangements
with its pastor, the Rev. Rufus Wendell,
in the matter Of salary. Mr.. Wendell,
fully approaching this unavoidable fnan-
eial aspect of things, voluntarily, at q re-
cent meeting of the official board, retin-
quiehed his entire claim for any salary
in the future, having decided, as the
proper alternative, to devote himself to
the publishing work which he had in
hand at the time of his removal from
Albany, N. Y, to this city, in October,
1882.
The church, at q nesting held Sun
day week, ratified this arrangement and
voted that Mr.. Wendell should remain
pastor, with the full control Of the pulpit
at all timss when II should be compatible
with his other plans (Which contemplate
frequent and protraGted absences from
Wilmington) to occupy the same, MI
| Wendell, on further consideration
Of the matter, fully decided
that the church could reap nj
real advantage from merely
nominal pastorste, while 1t could hardly
| fail to be an embarrassment and positive
injury to the church to have its pulpit
arrangements largely under the coptro
Of person spending only small portion
\ Of his time at home. Under this con
viotion he convened the ofhoia
board Monday evening week and II
perfectly harmonious and entirel,
cordial conference, rendered his resigna
ton as pastor, tie same to take effect thi
evening, at which tune the church vii
be invited to take action upon it.
1t is the earnest wish OF the retirin
pastor that the church may at a
early day be able to maintain reRula
pastoral work and find good man 70
the place.
