Distinguished Presbyterian Ministel
Discouraged by Record of His
Washington Labors.

Members Of the congregation of the
Gunton Temple Men oriaI Presbyterian
Church were very much surprised yes
terday, when, at the conclusion Of his
sermon, the Rev Asa S Fiske, d. D.,
rendered his resignation as pastor. and
asked that a meeting of the congrega-
tion appoint a committee to join him in
asking the presbytery 10 dissolve the
relationship existing between him and
Gunton Temple Church. DR.. Fiske re-
quested his resignation take effect Sep

who IS considered one OF the ablest mem
bers Of the Washington presbytery, Is
due it is understood. 20 the discourage
ment he feels at the lack OF growth OF
his church. There has been a falling of
in the congregation of Gunton Temple
Memorial recently
This IS due, IN part. to the fact that
the congregation is largely composed
Of young people. DIT. Fiske is an elder
" man. between eixty and seventy years
of age. and il is believed that he and
the younger element Of his congrega-
ton have not always been IN closest
sympathy.
This led to a feeling on his part that
he would better give up and let the
congre cation choose a mana younger
man, perhaps-whose ideas would be
more in conformity with theirs. 1t Is
not known whether DR.. Fiske's retire
rnent from Gunton Memorial means his
retirement from active work as a pas
/ tor. or whether he will take up work
| in another church.
