PASTOR TENDERS
HIS RESIGNATION
The Rev. b. Fl. Melton. OF Mar
shall Street Christian, to
Quit Charge on June I.
NEW QUARTERS ARE NEEDED
Minister Doubts Ability Of Mem
bers to Provide Larger
Building.

To the great surprise and regret of
his congregation, Rev. b. III. Melton,
pastor of the Marshall Street Chris
tian Church. through the official board
of the church. announced at the morn
ing service yesterday his Intention OF
giving up the charge, his resignation
to take effect Juno l. Though the pa
per had been in the hands of the board
for some time, few members of the
congregation knew that the pastor con-
templatcd leaving.
Why He Resigned.
In coming to this decision he has
been influenced largely by the unccr-
tainty of the congregation in BEING
able to provide building and equip.
ment for q large and more aggressive
work in the future. Last night he
stated that the work of his church
could not be extended further in 1t.
present quarters. and that because O
a division In the congregation there
was no prospect of charging tho pres
ent quarters.
Under Mr.. Mclton's pastoratc the
congregation has purchased in the
West End n lot on which it is intended
that new building shall be erected
The last payment on the land will be
made in n short while. He and part
of the congregation are in favor OF
raising the money and building at
once, but the others--nea:iy half the
membership--are opposed to 1t at this
time, claiming that the church is not
now financially able to make the move.
Realizing that by dividing the con-
gregation there would not be enough
either to keep up tho old church or to
build the new, Mr.. Melton has decided
to resign and go to a wider field.
Has Received No Call.
Mr. Melton said last night that he
had as yet received no call and that
he would not leave the city until next
September. Though he has not yet
been officially approached, it is known
that the great majority of the MEM
bers of his church will urge him to
remain, and 1t is possible that the
members will get together in short
while for the purpose of taking some
action as to moving the building &c
the new location. Mr.. Melton decline;
to discuss this phase OF the matter
however until some definite PROPOSE
ton is made to him.
He came TO the church nearly eigh'
wears ago, after it had experienced {
series of short pastorates. Under hi
Leadership it has gradually grown un
| til the congregation and Sunday schoo
are now as large as the building WI
| permit.
