Feeling Resolutions Passed and DR.
}. w. Neil Endorsed.
A large number of the mem bershiI
of the First Presbyterian church hello
a meeting at the church last night
for the purpose OF considering the re,
signation of their paster, the Rev. J
w. Neil, after reading the reverend
doctors communication the following
resolutions were introduced:
Resolved by the members of the
First Presbyterian church of San An.
tonic, Texas:
|. That we do hereby express and
reiterate full and complete confidence
and esteem for our pastor, DR.. J. w.
Neil, in all his relations with us, and
we do hereby emphasize our entire
satisfaction with him and his minis
terry during the many years that the
pastoral relations has existed between
us.
2. That the ties which bind us to-
gether represent a growth, approach
ing two decades, of mutual Christian
love, confidence and esteem, and
which we declare are dear to us at
this moment as they ever have been.
g. That we are neither prepared or
willing to sunder these ties which
have so long bound us together, and
we cannot fin it in our minds or
hearts to request the Presbytery to
dissolve the pastoral relations now
existing between us.
4. That we earnestly believe that it
will be seriously detrimental to the
best in terests and welfare, present and
future, of this church if the pastoral
relations of DR.. Neil with us should
cease, and we state this with full
realization of every deduction tn at
these terms can imply.
5. That we cannot and do not con-
sent to the supposition that there are
some, that is to say any considerable
of the members of this
church, who are convinced or believe
that the usefulness of DR.. Neil as our
pastor is at an end, and we are fully
persuaded that this is so tor the rea-
son that after much inquiry we have
failed to hear of any such pronounced
declaration.
6. That, whilaswe do not counten-
ance the suppositiOn that any consid-
cradle minority of the members of
this church are convinced or believe
that the usefulness of DIR. Neil is at
an end, or that his pastoral relations
with US should cease, nevertheless,
if there be such, we hereby declare
their views and opinions are not en-
tertained by the members of this
at large, and we remind
them in all kindness that such senti-
ments, if entertained, are incompat-
IDLE with the harmony and unity of
this church, and that it is the duty OF
such persons, if any such there be,
either to withdraw from this congre-
CATION, or to henceforth unitee heart
lily with the majority in promoting
the welfare, growth and usefulness of
an undivided church.
:. That, in view of our feeling and
sentiments as herein expressed, we do
most earnestly request DR.. Neil to
withdraw his resignation and contin-
ne his relation with us as our pastor.
A number of feeling speeches were
made, and upon vote being taken,
the resolutions were adopted with but
only few dissenting votes. The
was closed with a prayer
from Mr.. McCurdy, and a general
hand shaking and congratulations fol-
lowed.

Victor Hugo and Dom Pedro.

Dom Pedro, ex-Emperor of Brazil,
once called on Victor Hugo and asked
the privilege of dining with him.
The two men talked until 3 o'clock
in the morning. Hugo asked the
Emperor what countries in Europe
struck HIM as being the happiest.
Switzerland, France and Scotland, "
was the answer. "What reason do
you assign for this?" continued the
poet. The fact that Switzerland is
an old republic; that France has &C
complished republican evolution,
and that Scotland has republican
form of church government" ex-
claimed Dom Pedro. 1.-THE church
has given moral strength to Scott
land which is unique, and her climate
has imposed hardy habits on the
Scotch people.
