bvterian Church, Manning, S. c.
MIR. Dear Brethren:-Through the
public press and by announcement from
the pulpit you are aware Of call re-
Gently extended to me by the Sion Pres-
bvterian church Of Wlnnsooro. Ih!s
call 7 did notseek or wish for, but the
claims set forth required chat l give
it careful and prayerful consideration:
7 asked for your prayers IN my oehail
that I might be led to do whatever God s
will was in the matter. I have sought
counsel from the officials Of this church
and also from the officials Of Slor
church.
After mature thought and after much
Drayer over the matter 1t Is my settled
conviction that it is my duty TO acSep'
this call, subject to the action OF Har'
nony Presbytery. I need not burden
Won with the several considerations
which have led me into this conclusion:
I think it is needless to assure you OF

this church, and OF the pain 1t gives
me to make the announcement 10 YOU
NV past ministry among YOU tells
truthfullv whatever OF these things
NAV have had or now have. Ny service
T know has been very imperfect, and
have left much undone, but l can
truthfullv assure you that have given
to YOU an honest endeavor to serve you
TO the best of my ability. Your love tor
me, your patience with me, ana your
interest in my welfare, 1 can never
forget.
In conclusion, ask you to unite with
me in a REQUEST to Harmony Presoy'
tery to dissolve the Pastoral relations
which exists between me and TINS
church. I pray that Gods richest pies
sinos NAV ever rest upon you as body
and as individuals.
Affectionately Your Pastor,
