versed but his train with it's load
could not b. stopped within the

pedOes and had otherwise done his
best to- flag the approaching train.

The resignation as read is to take
effect the last of January, and the
meeting of the congregation to be
held this evening will probably
be decisive as 10 whether it's
pastor can be sp ,red. It seems
to be the general sentiment that MIR.
johnson should be retained, and that
the congregation can i'll afford to part
with his valuable services. During
his pastorate he has succeeded in
building up the church so that it
ranks among the largest in the city.
