at 8 o'clock last evening by pastor d.
W. Skellenger, and was opened with
prayer. r, ], Williams was elected
secretary. Pastor Sksllinger then
stated that the meeting was sailed for
the purpose Of taking action on his
resignation. He stated TINT he oe.
lieved that his work with this church
was about completed and earnestly rs-
Quested that the congregation join with
him in petitioning the Prespytery in
desolving his relation with this church
Professor George Phillips said that
he believed that the pastor had taken
this step intending his resignation after
due deli iberation, and in making mo-
tion to accept the resignation he did it
simply TO concur with the pastors re-
quest.
Mr. Skellingsr made few remarks
in explanation OF his action. He said
that he had great regard for the peo-
pie Of this church. He had done his
duty before God, and had nothing to
regret in his three years work here.
He would have liked to stay to see the
work Of building the new church, and
hoped that the motion to accept the
resignation might be carried.
An effort was made TO appoint q
committee to confer with Pastor Skell.
niger with a view Of having him with
draw his resignation, but this was
nipped in the bud by point blank re-
fusal of the pastor to entertain for a
moment the subject Of rsconsidera-
iion.
Remarks were made by several
members of the congregation compli-
mentory to tho work OF Rev. Mr.. Skell.
niger during his pastorate. The fact
being developed that under no cireum-
stances would the resignation be with
drawn it was decided by ballot that the
congregation would concur with the
pastor in petitioning the Presbytery to
dissolve the relationship between the
church and pastor.
After election OF delegates to rep
resent the church at the meeting Of
the Presbytery the meeting adjourned.
