DIR. LACY'S HESITATION.
OF the Passionate of the Second Presby
terrain Church.
tNorfolk Landmark. J


After eleven years service. the Rev.
Or. W. $. Lacy has resigned the pastor
ate of the Second Presbyterian church.
This action was announced to his
church Sunday morning and was due to
feeble health. He will remain with the
church. however. possibly until Septem-
Der 1st and will eventually edit one Of
the Presbyterian papers.
The church will accept DIR. Lacy's res
ignation, and in so doing Norfolk will
lose one Of its most popular ministers.
for during his service in this city he
has not only endeared himself to those
who have sat under his ministry. but
to the people at large. After his leav-
ing Norfolk he will very likely make
his home in North Carolina. his native
State.
In announcing his resignation DIR.
Lacy said that the session of the church
at his request had called Il church meet
ing for the last Sunday in July for the
purpose Of having the congregation unite
with him in asking the presbytery to
dissolve his pastoral relations. Since
DR.. Lacy has been a resident of Norfolk
he has won by his uniform courtesy and
kindness and most exemplary Christian
life the love and admiration of our peo-
pie Of all denominations as well as 9th
ers Of no religious creed.

laurels he had awarded to himself for
his achievement in corraling the Mary

terest of D. B. Henderson for Speaker.
The impression first gained of this in
cident was to the effect that Mr.. Mudd
had originated and carried out the
pan by which Maryland was virtually
to force the selection of Speaker for
the House. 1t appears, however, from
later details that the only thing he
really manipulated was the scheme to
gobblc credit for movement that had
for some time been planned and put
into operation by his colleague from
Allegany. 1t was really fragrant
case of not getting into the band wagon
IN time, serious sin on the part of a
politician. Our delegation did not de-
clare for Henderson until he seemed
practically certain of the nomination.
There was absolutely no credit to be
gained by being ''jolIy' under those
circumstances. The time to get into
the probable Speakers good graces was
six weeks ago, when he needed votes
Then telegram signed Sid. Mudd to
