FIRST BAPTIST STATEMENT.
The Deaeons Hold Meeting and Deny
that There Is DissensiOn.

The item in yesterdays Journal in re-
gard to the differences existing in the
First Baptist Church was the means of
calling a meeting of the deacons of the
church and the pastor, Rev. w. F. Taylor,
in the afternoon. AS a result of the meet
ing a statement will be read to the con-
gregation this morning, in effect thus:
Eat a ioint meeting of the pastor and
deacons, held yesterday afternoon, 1T was
decided, in view of an item in yesterdays
paper, to make the fc owing statement
to the church: That no dissension exists
in the church; that no trouble has arisen
between, the choir and the pastor and no
trouble between the choir and the church;
that the deacons have never thought or
attempting to dismiss the pastor nor have
This statement was signed by those pres
ent some of them preferring to thus smooth
the matter over rather than to have the
story of the trouble in the church spread
The meeting of the deacons at Mr. Smocks 8
house, referred to yesterday, was called by
Mr.. Smock and DIR. Woollsn, and was at
tended by these gentlemen and Messrs
Shelenberger Potter, Wagner and Pickens.
Messrs. Woollen and Pickens were appoint
ed committee to inform DR.. Taylor or the
opinion of the deacons that a severance OF
the pastoral relations would be wise. This
unpleasant duty was performed py MT
Pickens.
Mr. Taylor was seen by Journal re-
porter and he said that ne was very much
surprised to find that there was any
trouble in the church; that the trouble
was one Of long standing-in fact IL ex-
listed long before he became connected
with the church in any way That he did
intend to resign some time was a matter
that he had been considering Tor some
time: that he thought there was an
apathy in the church-.in all the churches,
for that matter--and a change would De
benefit all round, but whether the resiSna-
ton would be in two months, six mo-, tbs
or a year was a thing of the future.

TEACHERS READING CIRCLE.
Course of Work for the Year Outlined
Yesterday.

The committee on State teachers and
young peoples reading circle work was in
session yesterday afternoon at the Of
flee of the Superintendent of Public In
struction The meeting was called for
the purpose of selecting a line of work
for the coming year, and to determine just
what course should be pursued. 1t was de-
cided that two lines of work should be car
ried out, including professional and gen.
eral culture lines. Also that the field of
reading be limited, and that history and
civics be excluded. The committee recon-
mends that all general reading be of pure
literature, and further that if suitable poetry
could be found it would sbe preferable to
prose. 1t is the intention to have some
especially selected works bound together
and the committee, in discussing the char
acter of these works felt that Shakespeare
ought to head the list with selected stories
from Hugo and Dickens Of these latter lat s
of Two Cities by Dickens will probably
be adopted. In the professional line OF
reading it is proposed to select stories OF
a sufficient brevity to be completed In six
lessons. Nothing definite was accomplished
in young peoples work.
