The Presbytery of Lackawanna
which closed its spring session last
Monday at Plymouth, is one of the
largest Presbyteries in that denomina-
tion. 1t extends from Hawley, in
Wayne county, to Troy, in Bradford
county, and includes besides these two
counties, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Wyo-
ming and Susquehanna counties. 1t
thus embraces not few large and
strong churches, together with excep-
tional opportunities for local evangeli-
zation. Several of the pastors Of these
churches have recognition and promin-
ence in the counsels of the Presby-
terian body at large. The Presbyteries
of New York. Philadelphia and Chicago
are the only larger Presbyteries than
Lackawanna Presbytery.
The Presbytery conferred a graceful
compliment upon a twenty-year pas
torate when, by a large vote. it elected
Rev. George Il. Guild, Of this city, a
commissioner to the general assembly,
which meets in May in Minneapolis,
MINI. Tho general assembly Is the
highest crust of the Presbyterian lie
nomination. Alex Dickson of the First
church, was elected lay commissioner.
Rev. DR.. w. II. Pearce, of the First
Methodist church Wilkes-B Barre. has
purchased property in Cazenovia, n.
Y, where he is about to build II home
where the family will reside in the
summer and where he will ultimate
ly take up his permanent residence
when he shall have retired from active
service in the ministry. The house will
be spacious and comfortable, of the
colonial period and will be located in
a beautiful spot, embowered in trees.
Already from its surroundings it has
been dubbed "Wilowmere."
DR.. Pearce's younger daughter Ger
trude, will be graduated from Welles-
ley In June, in which college her stand
ing is such that already she has been
offered the professorship of Greek and
Latin in the Bishops school, at Beth
lehem, and has also received other Of
fers Of similar positions.

WHY DOES NOT MR.. BALLEN-
TINE RESIGNP

Editor of The Tribune
Sir: "Why does not the rector of the
Good Shepherd follow the noble and gem
crOus and Christian spirit of the Bap-
tist minister we have lately heard of in
Jersey City? As soon as that noble man
was asked to rctraCt the position he had
taken on the great question of marriage
and divorce, he at once sent i'm his resig-
nation. lie was brave enough 10 speak
out plainly the truth of God i'm Christ as
hc understood 1t even though ne knew
it would cut n certain prominent man of
his congregation 10 the quick, and he wds
brave enough to resign at once when the
influence OF that man and his friends
was brought to bear upon him to make
him retract his true and fearless utter
ances.
"When they persocutc you I'm this city,
fee ye into another
"Is not this what our Lord taught Ills
disciples? Why, then, will a man stay
and allow himself TO be the occasion of
strife and debate and of wrath and Of
anger, and of evil speaking? why will
such man allow himself for a moment
TO become such a great occasion Of
stumbling to many who are weak i'm the
faithY"
These are very serious questions Has
Mr., Ballcntinc carefully considered them?
Can the rector of the Good Shepherd an
swer them, continue in his present posi-,
tiOn, and remain true to the life and
teaching of the lowly Nazarcne whom he
calls Lord and Master?
Then there is another way Of looking
at this grave question. If a congregation
has called a man TO be its pastor, and he
has been with them ten or twelve years
ought they not TO have the privilege of "A
quiet and peaceable change, even though
they have no shadow of a charge to bring
against him? They pay his salary; they
provide him with "A home. They work
hard to keep things going. Ought they
not then to have the privilege OF decid-
ing whether his usefulness in the field
has failed? At any rate, you know "A
new broom sweeps clean"
| Such are some of the questions asked
