1t has been known for several days to
the intimate friends of Rev. J. S. Black.
pastor of the First Presbyterian Church,
of this city, that he would, in all prob
ability, receive call to become the pastor
of the First Church of Minneapolis, but
nothing has been said publicly because it
wa. proper that the first public announce
ment should be made to the congregation.
But the matter having become noised
abroad there is no occasion for secrecy
and we are able to announce definitely that
Mr.. Black has received such a call which
comes to him as a unanimous one, that he
had called a meeting of his session last
evening and announced his intention TO
accept it, and that he will read his resig-
nation TO the congregation next Sunday
morning, TO take effect about May 18th
MIR. Black feels that duty calls him. He
did not come so far west of his own motion
and has not felt thoroughly at home here,
his friends, business, inclinatiuns and in
terests all belong farther east The first
charge 10 which he ministered was at
Nashua, n H. In 1874 he was called to
Erskine Presbyterian Church at Mon
treal, Canada. This is one of the historic
churches of Canada, and Mr.. Black sue
ceeded DIR. Muro Gibson, who was called
to church in London, England. He re
manned in Montreal about ten years, com
ing to this city from there. Mr. Black is
man Of ma rked ability and a strong
preacher. he will be greatly missed in
this city.-ColOradO Springs Republic.
