Brutal prize fighting is likely to

spsrring for points in a decently
conducted arena. This is to be re-
GREETED, for since the day athletics

in American sports the American
youths have certainly developed
muscle. The art Of hitting straight
out from the shoulder can very
properly supersede the habit OF

DIR. PENICK WITHDRAWS HIS
RESIGNATION. ,,,r

Some time ago the public read with
regret that Rev. W. s Penick, pastor
OF the First Baptist Church of our
city, had rendered his resignation,
and he was importuned by many
those who were not as we'll as
those Who were-members of his
church to reconsider his action and
withdraw it.
But DR. Penick is a big man and be
believed IN giving his congregation
an honest opportunity to express
themselves on the question of his
usefulness, and he allowed the resig-
nation to remain.
On last Sunday, week ago, his
congregation by unanimous vote de-
clined to accept the resignation and
urged the good pastor, as an organ
lied body, to withdraw it. But even
then this popular divine declined un-
til he had given the subject, the re-
quest serious and prayerful consider
alton. And having done this, DR..
Penick decided that it was his duty
to listen to and obey his congregation
and membership, and he did.
TBE PRoeRIss is truly glad of this.
Dr. Penick has become tr.ly identi-
fed with our people, and has done
wonderful amount of good not only
from his pulpit, but in the field on
the outside. W.
OF course, like all men of individ-
uality, he can not please everybody,
but weighed in the balance, as man,
preacher and pastor, the scales are
poised in the correct way and he is !
beloved, admired and respected alike
