DEPRECATE LOSS
OF DR.. MARQUIS
Ministerial Alliance Meets and
Draws Resolutions Asking
For Retention.
DESIGNATED AS A LEADER
Removal to Another Charge Would
Be in the Nature of Calamity
TO the City.

The Ministerial alliance at its
ing, passed resolutions deprecating
the proposed removal of DR.. W. S.
Marquis from the pastorate Of the
Broadway Presbyterian church, in
which he is praised for his efforts
to uplift the community, and in
which it is stated that his removal
from the city would be an irrepara-
BILE loss. A committee, consisting Of
Rev. T. z. Newland Of the First
Methodist church and Rev. H. w.
Reed of the First Baptist church was
appointed TO present the resolutions
TO the presbytery at their meeting,
at which the question will be decided.
CALL 1T A CALAMITY.
The resolutions follow:
Whereas, Creditable information is
at hand which causes the gravest ap-
prehension relative to- the continu-
ance of the pastoral relation between
Dr. w. s. Marquis and the Broad
way Presbyterian church of this city,
and,
Whereas. The worth and work of
III MdIQ us nave not Only peeu tl-
fective in the building up of a
strong congregation, but have exert
ed a commanding influence in the
city, and,
Whereas, In all progressive move
ments for the moral and spiritual
benefit OF our city Dr.. Marquis has
always been vitality related, and his
intense earnestness, readily blazing
into enthusiasm, has made him a
leader among US;
Therefore be IL resolved, That we
should deplOre his removal from US
at this time as little short of a ca
lamity, and together with all good
citizens we sincerely hope that the
prayer of the congregation may be
granted and the pastoral relation be
sustained.
. Practically the only other business
transacted at the meeting was the
adoption of the report of the pro-
gram committee for the year.
FEELS HE Is NEEDED.
That his presence is necessary in
his present charge 10 complete work
which has been instituted in one of
the important branches of Broadway
Presbyterian church, and that his re-
moval from here would be a detri-
ment to the plan under way, was the
statement OF DR.. ". s. Marquis. pastor
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1911-11-20

Of Broadway Presbyterian church, yes
terday morning At the regular service.
His statement was made because OF
the meeting of Rock River presbytery
held at the church this afternoon for
the purpose OF considering the demand
Of the synod of Illinois that he take
I'D duties as superintendent of beneV-
olence campaign in. the state.
FORMING NEW CHtRCH.
DR.. Marquis said that at the present
time the South Park chapel, one Of the
branches Of the Broadway church. is
about to become an independent tnst-
tuition and is TO sever its connection
with the mother church within short
time. That Is one OF the important
reasons why he desires to remain
here. He has worked, along with the
chapel organization, since the chapel
was organized and the congregation
has worked with him. Since Rev. W.
G. Oglevee, assistant Broadway pas
Tor, came 10 Rock Island, the growth
Of the chapel has become more pro
nounced. II is one of the most pro
gressive of the younger church tnstitu-
are forming 10 make il q church in
itself.
Then, too, there are many things in
progress IN Broadway church which
need DR.. Marquis help TO carry
through. The church has reached a
critical period in its life and a change
would be unweIcome.
COMMITTEE GIVES VIEWS.
Armed with dozens Of reasons TO
keep the pastor here. the committee
appointed by the congregation a week
ago yesterday to appear before the
presbytcrial body, entered into the
meeting this afternoon To Offset the
pleas of the local congregation. the
synod has a committee here TO give TO
the governing body an outline. Of the
work which it intends 10 do and show
why they have chosen the local pastor
TO do it.
Is UP To PRESBYTERY.
It was in the month of September
that the synod voted the Office of SUI
perintendent of benevolences to DR..
Marquis over his protest He refused
to present the matter 10 his congrega-
ton, and the synod appointed a com
mittee to meet with the presbytery.
for that body has the power Of severing
pastoral relations with a church and
transferring the pastor TO another
charge. 1t was for that reason that
DR.. Marquis and Broadway session de-
cided that 1t would be best for the
congregation TO appoint a committee
to appear before the presbytery at the
same time. In addition to members OF
the committee, there were present at
the meeting several members of the
congregation, including members of
the Mems class
Delegates from some of the sc
churches of the presbytery of Rock
river arrived this morning They in
clude pastors and one elder from each
church. Many Of the churches were
not represented.
