Rev. I. Kent last Sunday morning
very much surprised his congregation
by rendering his resignation of the
pastorate Many heads dropped and
much sorrow was shown by the peo-
pie, who during his two pastorates,
amounting to nine years in all, have
listened to his preaching and held him
as a valued friend. The annual meet
ing was held on Tuesday, and by a
decisive ballot it was determined
that no change was wanted by the
church. As, however, an invitation
for the next year must be given, nom
nations were made, and two ministers
from the east we're named, and one
from the west, and Mr.. Kent. The
ballot on these gave Pastor Kent a
good majority over all, and with
much enthusiasm a motion to make
the invitation unanimous prevailed
without dissent. So, the many friends
of the pastor within and without the
church hope he will enjoy another
year of successful work.
