biblical RECORDER

NDiDICdl HSCOTueF.J
In view of the fact that there seems
to be dissatisfaction with the action of the
presbytery which investigated the charges
against me for my connection with the
Amos Owen Cherry Tree Co, and their
recommendations to my church, and it
having been represented to me that the
carrying out of the recommendation of
said presbytery as to my continuing in
the ministry will injure the cause, with
the sole desire of protecting the cause,
do withdraw from the ministry until
such a time as my brethren think it wise
for me to take up the work again.
There are some facts in this matter
which the public should have, and shall
ask space in your paper at an early date
to set them forth.
Respectfully,
