one has authority to make that statement
as coming from me. I have received as
surances that I could take with me 200
members of the congregation to an inde-
pendent church, but 1 have not enter
tanned that proposition, nor have 1 sought
to recruit members for another congrega-
ton.
To-day I received a dispatch from the
Iowa Conference rendering me assurances
of support. That conference is much
larger and stronger than the Bay Con-
ference. Here is the message. You may
take a copy of it."
The doctor was still shifting from one
hand to another the important dispatch
from Dubuque which he had read during
the meeting.
DR.. Brown expressed his appreciation of
this evidence of support from the Iowa
association, but again gave emphasis to
the declaration that he had not announced
an intention to leave this particular field
of labor.
The out-and-out supporters OF DR.. Brown
were very indignant at the display of un-
christian spirit, which they say was mani
tested by the enemies of the pastor in not
remaining for prayers. When the vote
was announced asking the Bay Conference
to reverse its action and withdraw the
censure the opponents OF the pastor with
drew.
A delegation of Grand Army comrades
gathered about the pastor after the meet
ing and gave promise of support should
he decide to open another Gospel estab-
Gshment in San Francisco.
Some indignation was expressed at the
conduct of an individual who threw a
brickbat through one of the windows OF
the lecture-room.
For while much nervousness was appar-
ent among the ladies of the congregation,
one of whom shrieked, They're pointing
pistol through the hole"
Quiet was restored. and the pastor re-
sumed his address. All efforts to find out
the author of the foolish trick were un-
availing.
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-30

the conflict publicly carried on between
Brown and his flock for four months al
most without intermission. Convicted Dy
the ecclesiastical council of conduct unbe-
coming gentleman and minister; with
his word brought into serious disrepute,
Brown still continued the fight to the very
last ditch-and fell.
Even the action of the Bay Conference
seemed not to have disturbed his moral
equanimity, but with an audacity worthy
of better cause he detied his brethren to
do their worst.
The end for the First Church has come
at last, SO far as Brown is concerned, but
what the future has in store for him is a
matter of deepest concern to his friends.
his family and himself.

DR.. BROWNS FAREWELL.
The Pastor Presents His Resigna-
ton, Which Is Finally
ACCeptsad.

Within the Iecture-room an anxious
crowd of church members sat waiting to
see what was to befall their pastor. Not
all the faces were friendly ones; but most
of them were hard to read. Blank ex-
pectancy appeared to be the prevailing
expression.
Before the meeting opened the pastor
and his wife, Deacon Morse and Attorney
Nagle sat speaking in whispers, while near
by was Mrs. Cooper without her daughter,
who had not been allowed to enter, not
being m em ber of the church.
At half-past seven DIR. Brown took his
place on the platform and announced the
hymn Sweet Hour of Prayer" which was
sung by the congregation, after which the
psalm, "The Lord is my Shepherd" was
read responsively. The hymn, 'Nearer,
my God, TO Thee brought the devotional
exercises to close.
DIR. Brown then asked Deacon Morse to
take the chair.
The deacon gave brief outline OF the
difficulties through which the church had
passed and was rather severe in his refer
ences to the opposition. He assured the
pastor that the best wishes of the congre-
CATION would follow him wherever he
might go and under all circumstances.
81 do not wish to be the occasion of any
division in the church," answered DR..
Brown, land / am willing to make any
sacrifice rather than be instrumental in
bringing about such a state of things.
Throughout the course of the sad affair
which has tried US so severely / have
acted under the advice of the senior
deacons and best members of this church
Had | been pressed to do SO, l would
have resigned at any time. 1t must not
be imagined that was altogether without
friends. Happily, an avenue of escape
was always open to me.
Now, in view of the present feeling
among certain members of this congrega-
tion, l present my resignation, with the
request that it be accepted"
Then, in the pathetic tone which he
knows so well how to use, DIR. Brown read
his resignation, which was as follows:
SAN FRANCISCO, April 90 1896
To the First Congregational Church, San Fran
cisco, CGlitornia-DEAR BRETHREN: l herewith
tender my resignation as your pastor, and ask
that you will kindly act upon this communi-
cation this evening. We have wrought to-
gether in the bonds of the noblest fellowship
on earth.
For nearly four years have been your pas
tor. For every act of Christian love and fidei-
ity, for your cooperation in labor for our Lord
for your sympathy, so abundantly expressed
in hours of deep trial, you have my lasting
gratitude. l shall ever pray God to bless This
dear church with the tokens of his divine
presence and infinite love.
In the bonds OF our common faith Your
pastor, CHARLES o. BROWN.
Some of the women wept aloud, while a
few of the, men got out their handker-
chiefs.
The pastors voice shook as he COM
menced reading and toward the middle of
the documen became husky. Passing his
hand quickly across his eyes, with an evil
dent effort he cleared his throat and read
the resignation through to the end with.
out again faltering.
