MENT TO SETTLEMENT
Will Remain Until His Successor Is
Chosen-The Offer Of the Elders
to the Presbytery

Yesterday morning at the close of the
services of the First Presbyterian
church, Rev. Burt Estes Howard said
that he had two statements. to present
TO the congregation; the first in regard
to an action taken by the elders and
trustees of the church during the week
just passed in the matter of the church
property. In the second was embodied
Mr.. Howards formal resignation from
the pastorate of the church.
The first statement which was printed
in full in yesterdays Herald, was an
offer from the elders and trustees "to
transfer the whole property to such
guarantee as may be properly author
ized to receive it, subject to a mortgage
of $4,000, nearly all of which was used
in the acquisition of the property, in ad
dition to the money received from the
old church"
The second statement follows:
ITO the First Presbyterian Church, Los
Angeles, CAL:
My Beloved People: This church, in
which we have labored together for the
past six years, has now reached a crisis in
its history whose determination requires
the exercise of all our Christian forbear-
ance and patience and wisdom. 1t is
time for temperate action and for the sac
rifioe of personal preference to the larger
and higher demands of righteousness.

Men and women who have sunEeu so
far into weakness and disease that the

R. " Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, proffered,
thirty years ago, to sick and suffering hui
manity.
During all the years since then this mar
velous Discovery" has been building up
weak and debilitated constitutions by its
extraordinary influence upon the human,
nutritive system. 1t gives the digestive or
ganism keen power and capacity to appro-
pirate every Hfc-g giving element from the
food taken into the stomach and trans
forms it into rich, highly vitalised blood
and healthy flesh, bone, sinew and nerve

Consumption in all its earlier stages is

darkness of bodily ailment so dense but it
will shed upon the sufferer the light of re-
newed hope.
