the Rev. George L. MacClelland the friends Of
the minister showed that their strength was AZ

Of the pastor tested their strength by voting not

once moved that the resignation be accepted and

the church expressed It's regret for the unfortunate
circumstance which had forced the pastor to hand
in his resignation.
Benjamin F. stephens the president Of the
Board Of Trustees who has led the opposition
TO Mr. MacCleIand. was violently averse to the
passing Of the minute and endeavored to read two
communications signed BY himself Frank C. Yves

their disapproval Of any form OF eulogy OF the
retiring pastor. The second letter addressed ~
