orator and as soon as he had called the meeting
TO order George E. sterry proceeded to read the
recommendation OF the committee appointed to
present a candidate.
II was known that there was likely 10 be
some opposition to DR.. Buchanan and for that
reason Mr. Sterry, we'll as the speakers who
followed him. appealed for a unanimous vote
Mr. Sterry pointed out that for over twelve
months the committee had been unremitting in
their efforts to find a suitable pastor. and he
believed that the choice OF DR.. Buchanan would
prove gratifying to all. He then recommended
that Dr. Buchanan be called. and that he be
paid an annual salary Of S., 600.
Adrian y Reid who at a previous meeting
was opposed TO DR.. Buchanan. seconded the
recommendation. and urged that IT should be
accepted without negative vote Other
speeches. IN a similar strain were nearu, nut

Il appeared as though the call would be unani
mously extended. But when the Noes were
asked for five women and man rose. Dr.
Shearer begged them TO reconsider their posi-
ton and to Join in making the invitation a
united one. When he then asked again II any
members were against the committees recon-
mendation, the man kept his seat, but the five
women rose with such determined air that Dr..
shearer abandoned further efforts for harmony.
He announced, however, that he would certify
10 the Presbytery that the vote was practically
unanimous
