Resigns

Sunday was one of the most disagreeable
days that has been experienced in Rich
mond for long time. A heavy rain, ac-
companied BY high and cold winds, fell
during the morning. During the latter
part Of the afternoon the weather was
warm and sultry, with prospect of clear
ing, but at night, about church hour, the
wind again rose and brought over the city
clouds that burst in quite asevere thunder
storm. Nevertheless tho attendance on
church services both in the morning and at
night was fair, and where there were ser
wees of especial interest the congregations
were quite large.
