the pastor, arose and read his resignation
The congregation was dumfounded, and
did not take any action. 1t could scarcely
have done so, for the minister was so firm
and calm in making his statement, that
nothing was left to be said. He upbraided
the congregation. Said he:

The announcement was full of sarcasms,
