Resignation Of Rev. Ed. Finney.

At the close of his sermon last Sabbath
morning Rev. E. d. Finney surprised many
of his congregation by rendering his resigna-
nation of the FIRST Presbyterian Church of
Bel Air. Having passed his SEVENTEEN mile
stone he voluntarily lays down the harness
which he has worn so well for the past quar-
ter of century that it might be fitted to the
shoulders Of one who yet has the vigor Of
youth to bring to his arduous work.
Mr.. Finney's life is as full of the essential
elements Of successful minister's career as
1t is full of years and the respect and love Of
those whom he has served SO long and well.
Born in September, 1925, he was graduated
from Washington and Lee University in 1859,
and from the Princeton Theological Seminary
in 1852. After preaching in Bel Air for few
months in the fall of 1852, he went to Western
of the war in 1865. His church having been
broken up and his people ruined by the war,
he returned to his old home, near Church
vile, and soon afterwards took charge in
Tennessee, making his home at the Hermit
age, the renowned residence of President
jackson. In 1870 Mr.. Finney returned to
Maryland and preached at the Grove Church,
Aberdeen, till he began his pastorate at Bel
Air, on December 10, 1871, exactly twenty
four years ago. or the LOG mem bers on the
roll when he entered the field but Is remain,
but 100 new members have been admitted
during the same period. He has baptized
49, buried l46 and married 146 couples.
Fourteen years ago The congregation erected
the handsome structure in which they now
worship, at total cost of $4,000, he having
contributed largely both by his energy and
means. The property today stands clear of
debt except about 5000 which he urges his
people to pay off as thank offering next
Sabbath that he may turn over to his successor
an unincumbered church.
Two years ago Mr. Finney suffered a sudden
and almost fatal spell of illness and was
unable to preach for six months, but his
present erect figure and elastic step bespeak
for him many more happy years in our midst
Like his father he has seen fit to retire from
the active charge of his work and like his
father we sincerely hope to see him spend 20
years more among his people to see an abund-
ant harvest from his successful planting and
watering.
No steps have yet been taken towards Sc
lecting his successor
