DIR. CHICHESTER RESIGNS.
A Surprise to the Members of the
First Presbyterian Church,

A Surprise to the Members of the
First Presbyterian Chnrch.
The Rev. DR.. Chichester astonished
the people of the First Presbyterian
Church, last week, by informing them of
his purpose to resign his pastoral charges
and start new church, and he made
formal announcement to that effect yes
terday at the morning service. 1t was a
complete surprise to all but two or three
and the unusually cordial relations exist
ing between ths Doctor and his people as
we'll as the marked success which has
attended his ministry in that church
made it all the more surprising.
But the Doctor is not a man
who does inconsiderate things, and, in
the announcement yesterday, he con-
WINGED all who heard him that he has
considered this matter carefully and in a
very self-sacri6cing spirit. The work of
the church has been greatly embarrassed
for long time because of insufficient
room to comfortably seat the large con-
gregation. At every morning service.
except during the few warm months.
many were unable to get seats and left
before service. Various plans for relief
have been proposed. but none carried to
successful issue. The colonization plan.
frequently very effective, would not
work. Of the 500 or more members
who have come into the church
during DR.. Chichester's pastorate
few . could be induced to 20 into
other organizations while he remained.
and the Doctor decided to 90 out himself
relinquishing his ample salary and cast.
ing his lot in the mission field building
up new church. 1t is thought that
some two hundred and fifty of the first
church members will 60 into the new
enterprise, which will be located some
place near Seventh or Eighth and Pearl
streets. 1t is matter OF sincere regret
to all those who remain in the first church
tnat any emergency should have arisen
which can only be met by DR.. Chichester's
withdrawal. He is held in the highest
esteem by all, and their personal and
church relations have been most cordial
