nr. PnIInrd,s Kesignation.

At the business meeting Of the Leigh
Street Baptist church held during the
past week the pastor, Rev. John Pol
lard, D. D., offered his resignation, to
take effect October lst. This action
was rendered necessary by his recent
election as Professor Of English in
Richmond College. In connection with
the resignation DR.. Pollard stated that
one controlling consideration leading
him to accept the position was the con-
dition of his health, which hardly justi-
fed him in continuing a pastorate so
large and important. DR.. Pollard's re-
signation is viewed with profound re-
gret, not only oy bis church, but by the
entire community among whom he has
worked so faithfully and successfully.
The resignation was accepted ald a
committee was appointed to secure an
other pastor.
