REV. DIR. GRIMKE INCLINED TO LEAVE THE
FIFTEENTH-STREET PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
FOR A NEW FIELD.
Rev. DR.. +. ]. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth
street Presbyterian church, has just returned
| from Jacksonville, Fla, where he had been
overlooking the field of the Presby terian church
of that city, to which he recently received q
call. After preaching an Easter sermon from
his pulpit yesterday, DIR. Grimke was asked
now he liked his trip to Jacksonville, and
VIII, whether he contemplated accepting the call to
that city. He said that he was SO pleased with
the trip and the field to which he had been
called that he was Seriously inclined to accept.
lie urged that the only matter which weighed
with him in favOrably considering the proposed
change was that there was more work to be
done in the new field than here. He thought
that the Lord had sent him here to do work
which he had performed, and If the Lord should
direct him TO accept the call to Jacksonville he
would obey, notwithstanding the personal sac
rifices he would have to make. DIR. Grimke by
his efforts as pastor, has brought the 15th-sreet
church out of its Indebtedness. and the men,
bers of the congregation are very unwilling to
part with him.

day the Nationals play against the Athletics in
Philadelphia, resting on Tuesday. The other
four days of the week they will play against
two of the strongest clubs of the league. On
