Cur pastor, Rev q. w. Finle-,
ID ID, having informed us that he
feels it to be HE duty to accept the
call TO the pastorate of Tlukling
Spring church recently extended
to him asks us to unite with him
in his request To Winchester Pres
10y terry TO dissolve the pastoral re.
lations now existing be We. n him
and this church. When Mr.F,n-
ley less than a year ago, was
called to the Evang elistc work in
tie Synod of va and made SINH
lar request o. n, we could cot see
our way clear to CONCUR in that re-
quest. Ne then called attention
to the large aud ample field Tor
usefulness and work in this section
Of our Presbytery for which he was
80 well fitted; and we then gave
expression al.o to the affection OF
our own people for him and to the
high esteem in which he Is held By
all the people among whom he has
lived and labOred 80 faithfully for
So many years, ard the sadness and
pain it would give Us to have that
relation that has bound him 10
closely to us in all those 81 years
now covered; aud we said then
simply thnt We would scqniesce. in
his removal from tins field aud
this work If the presby terry IN it.
wisdom should think It best. The
condition as TO the work here, aud
those feelings of affection and es-
TEEN are the same now that they
were then. But second time
within u year he is called from us
and he tells rs that after careful
and prayerful cons deratlon of the
matter and guided as he believes
he has been by the Holy Spirit,it is
his conviction that he ought 10 &C.
cept, and that he has accept ed this
call
While our strong attachment, for
our pastor would lead US to oppo
this dissolution, and while it will
cause us sorrow to see these ties
severed, yet in view Of these re-
peoted calls,and Of bis reques; again
made that we unite with him in
asking Presbytery to dissolve this
relation because of his deliberate
judgment as to his duty, with the
reasons that have led him to it,
and of what seems to US to be the
lead'ngs of Providence. we do not
feel that We ought nov to deny
that request.
1t is therefore, with reluc lance
that we do unite in il, and f the
Presby terry concurs In the request,
he WILL go from US followed by the
best wishes Of people who love
him and with their sincere prayers
to the Great He adj of the Cbur 1T.
that His richest bless Dgs may 90
with him and his to their new home
and alb de upon them always. and
that He will abnndantly bless him
in bis ministry among that p,o ole
to whom he goes.
