Last Wednesday night at business
meeting Of Randolph-Street church. Rev.
w. T. Jolly, the pastor. and Mr.. John f.

that church, claimed the attention OF the
moderator OF the meeting at the same
moment--tbe former to tender his resgDa-
ton as pastor. the latter to ask Tor letters
OF dismissal for himself END family.
Less than two years ago MT. Ragiand
started n mission school as an Off
shoot of Pine-Street Baptist church.
AS the result OF his Jealous efforts
congregation gathered and the present
Kandolph-Street church was built.
Indeed the success OF the present
church is largely due TO Mr.. Ragiands
efforts and assistance. and 1t was ne
who induced the present pastor TO leave
his Kentucky charge and come to Ran
dolph-Street. For these reasons the
causes which led up TO the action were
as surprising as they were unfortunate.
The determination was the result sim
ply of a difference between the pastor
and the layman as 10 the conduct OF
the affairs of the church. In consequence
OF the above a church meeting was held
Sunday afternoon.
The meeting was presided over by one

Jolly and request him TO reconsider his
resignation reported that the pastor had
the matter under advisement.
The meeting then took up the request
Of Mr.. Ragland and granted him the
letters asked for. Mr.. Ragland went
from Pine-Street TO Randolph-Street. but
he has not decided what church he
will now join.
After this had been done the commit
tee reported that Mr.. Jolly had consent
cd 10 withdraw his resignation. The
meeting was very harmonious through
out.
Mr.. Ragland held several official posi-
tons in the church and the following
gentlemen were elected TO fill the vacan-
cies made by his withdrawal: Mr.. Frank
