For some time dissensions have prevail
ed in the Congregational church at Tam
pa originating from a ruling made last
year by Rev. l.. F. Herrick the pastor.
The situation grew constantly worse,
placing the pastor in an embarrassing po-
sition and he rendered his resignation.
This a majority Of the congregation would
not accept. Every minister in the city
signed a petition requesting Mr.. Herrick' 5
retention The dissenting elements agreed
to submit the controversy to council ana
abide by the decision. For two days past
a secret council has been in session deter
mining the merits Of each side. Rev. Mr..
Mcdonald. Rev. Mr.. Gale, and Hugh H.
Richardson Of Jacksonville have been at
Tampa, and, Winter Park, Lake Helen,
Key West, ST. Petersburg. and Interlachen
have also been represented. At the Congre-
gational church Thursday night the decis-
ion was read declaring that Rev. Mr..
Herrick should remain as pastor, and urg-
ing a withdrawal Of his resigna ton. The
council fully Endorsed the Objectionable
ruling, and his action since.
