After five years Of diligent labor in
Marion for the cause OF Jesus Christ.
, Rev. j. i. Currin resigned MS pastor
of the Free Baptist church on north
state street, Sunday morning, and aft
or lie had pleaded and explained the
motive which prompted him to take
this step, the congregation accepted
the resignation. In the resignation
there was no stipulated time as to
when It would take effect that being
left for the members of the congre-
cation TO decide.
Rev. Currin. during the five years
he has had charge OF the Marion pas.
torate has worked in perfect har-
mony with his congregation and they
I'm turn. have given him their hearty
cooperation. He stated, yesterday
that during the many years he had
been a minister Of the gospel. he had
never received such recommenda-
ton as the people of the church OK
pressed by manifesting an unwilling.
ness to accept his resignation
The pastors resignation is the out
come of a movement which has been
pending for some time and which will
culmlnate in the union of the Free
Baptist church on south Main street
and the First Baptist on north state
street. Toward this end, both Rev
Currin and Rev. George Barnard, for
mer pastor OF the Free church, be.
fore his departure from the city, have
been working and their labors have
been successful It Is only a matter
of time until their hopes are to be
realized. Rev. Currin, thinking that
in some manner, he might stand IN
the way of the uniting of the two
churches. deemed It best to resign
and leave the united congregations
free to choose their pastor for the
future. He will continue to act as
pastor of the First church until 9TH
er arrangements are made.
