of w. C. Hayes, vice president and
manager of the Union State pank of
this city, who is wanted on a warrant
charging him with violation of the
new state banking law in overdrawing

The action of the association is a
new departure, as it's efforts have here
tofore been directed to the capture of
absconding employees, forgers, burglars
and other criminals, defrauding the
members.
It is now announced that the associ-

TEMPLE BAPTIST
WITHOUT PASTOR
DR.. BURDETTE'S RESIGNATION
is ACCEPTED
Congregation Tearfully Realizes That
Pastor Is Unable to Carry on
Work of Church and SUBJ
mits to Inevitable

Rev Robert j. Burdette's resignation
from the ministry of Temple Baptist
church was read and accepted at the
regular weekly prayer service In
Berean hall last night
During the deep silence that followed
the reading of the pastors letter many
faces streamed with tears.
Charles Baskerville clerk of the
church, read DR.. Burdette's resignation.
The letter stated owing to his physical
condition and the indications that he
would not be able to attend to any
kind of work for several months the
pastor wished to withdraw. He thought
it better for himself and his people that
no obligations should rest on him. He
felt that it might hamper the growth
and welfare of the church to have an
inactive pastor. DR.. Burdette spoke in
words of gentle endearment of his
flock. His letter breathed love for "his
dear children" as he has always
called his people,
Received with Regret
Mattison B. Jones in an eloquent talk
expressed the sorrow and regret that
was felt by all. Mr.. Jones said that
while the pastors resignation was re-
ceived with profoundest regret their
leader had left no reason why the
church 01ould not accept it at this
time. A twofold motion was made
that DR.. Burdettes resignation as pas
tor be accepted and that he be made
pastor emeritus of Temple Baptist
church This motion was unanimously
adopted by a rising vote.
No action was taken last night in re-
gard to calling a successor to DR.. Bur-
dette. There is said to be a growing
sentiment in favor of calling DR.. j.
Whitcomb Brougher of the famous
White Temple of Portland.
DR.. Burdettes condition was report
ed yesterday as slightly better. He
suffers considerable pain and three
nurses keep constant watch at his
bedside.
