AT THE CLOSE OF SERVICE
SUNDAY NIGHT.
he RESIGNS NEE PAIORATt
In This City and win Go to Beau.
mont, Texas

Extraordinary congregations were
at all the services of the Baptist
Church Sunday. A great many people
were expecting Ar. Ridley to offer his
resignation as pastor of the church at
the II o'clock service, but he with
held it until thejserVice at night.
The silence tn at followed the read
ing of the resignation was really pain
full, and many throughout the con-
gregatiOn were in tears. Members
of other churches in town were seen
clinging to thespreacher and weeping
like children. Mr.. Ridley requested
that some one make motion to ac-
cept the resignation, and deacon
Mays arose slowly and with a tremb-
ling voice said that he had tried on
every hand to get some one of the
brethren to make the motion, but
had failed. Said they positively re-
fused, and since some eEEkad it to
do, he would make it. cotton
was put and only two or thfse votes
were cast, while throughout the
building men and gomenswept.
Mr.. Ridley will not leave Live Oak
before the first of January, and the
congregation hopes to have his sue
ceSsor by that time if possible. Mr..
Ridley's work in our city speaks for
itself. When he came to the Baptist
church three years ago, the property
of the church was worth a probable
$4,000, today It is worth at least
$4,000 and the congregation would
not think of closing it out at that.
The membership has grown dulhhg
this time from about IS to 1926 and
every phase of the church's life has
lad new enthusiasm injected into
1t. 1t goes WITHOUT saying that Mr..
Ridley will be remembered lovingly
by the citizens Of Live Oak through
out all the years to come.
In going to Beaumont, Mr.. Ridley
goes to one of the leading pastorates
of the state as shown by the expen-
ditureS of the church. We have be-
fore US a directory of the church in
which the running expenses are put
down at over $4,000. The salary
is $4,000, including a home. the as
Sistant pastor gets 81, 200, the organ
iSt $1,000, besides a paid quartette,
etc.
And now that Mr.. Ridley is going
to take up the Work, he will begin at
once the operation of certain insd-
tutional featured of work including
a hospital and sanitarium, also city
mission work on "a larger scale ttnan
It has heretofore been run on.
Mr.. Ridley says he hopes to have
Dr. Broughton and his great Confer
ence to meet with him in the near
future. With all our hearts we
wish you great success, Bro. Rides.

which we drop our swaddling clothes
and assume the garb Of full grown
oityhood. We are on the border Of
future whose great gifts to as are
beyond the imagination Of the most
enthusiastic individual.
The message deals with the present
and future Of the city in a clear,
forceful manner, and It's recommends
tions as a whole are worthy Of the
most careful consideration. The
statements which might be considered
open to criticism are few, the most
prominent Of which are salaries. The
mayor recommends the strictest econ
omy 70 keep expenditures within the
income, which does not seem consiat-
emit with the salary list. There are
other OF his recommendation which
will seem inconsistent to the readers
Of his message, and his advice that
people can borrow money at the banks
to pay for improvements will DO

these the message IL document
