WHO WOULDN'T RESIGN.
Rev. DIR. Smith to Receive $4,000 tor
Retiring srom His Pastorate.

New YORK, May 2S.-Rev. DR.. G. r.
Smith, pastor OF the Second Congre-
gatlonal Reformed church of this CITY,
has received $4,000 in return for his
resignation from the pastorate. Mem
bers Of the conslstory which asked DR..
Smith to resign say that about $24, 900,
representing $1,000 year for ten years
with compound interest, was the price
which the divine set on his withdrawal
from Office. The troubles IN the church
date back for some time and. accord
ing to a statement made by DR.. Smith
last sunday to his congregation, were
directly caused by the enmity of the
conslstory. This body is selected by
the congregation and constitutes a
board Of trustees. A certain faction of
the church consider DR.. Smith too old
for continued active service and there
has been some dispute Of late regarding
financial matters. On April - resolu-
tions were presented to DIR. Smith by
this faction requesting his resignation.
DIR. Smith refused to make any state
ment beyond what he had said last Sun
day, but admitted that SIP 900 was what
he had received.
