MINISTER QUITS.
Leaves The Church Saying, God
Knows My Sin.

Rev. Ii. II. johnson, of Clar.
ence, Mo, stirred up a sensation
at Columbia last week when he
suddenly left the annual confer
ence and came to Mexico and here
wrote a letter back to the confer
ence resigning from the confer
ence, the ministry and the Meth
odiSt church. The striking state
ment he wrote was, God knows
my sin"
Rev. Howard i. Davis here.
Presiding Elder of the district.
states that Mr.. johnson received
letter Saturday morning at
Columbia which greatly agitated
him. AT the conference in Column
bia the resignation was discussed,
but none of the preachers seemed
to know what the "sin" was that
caused the hurrier action of Mr..
johnson.
The first intimation received at
Clarence of Mr.. johnson action
was a letter received from John
son by Presiding Elder G. A.
Lehnhoff of Macon. johnson.
who was secretary of the church
extension hoard, had attended to
his duties with apparent cheerful
ness thru, all the conference until
Saturday afternoon, when he re
ceived a letter and almost imme-
diately afterwards left Columbia
From Mexico, Mo, he wrote let
ter to Doctor Lehnhoff in which
he stated that he had "dishonored
the ministry by correspondence, "
and that he would withdraw from
it. Johnson further wrote: 81
have not been guilty of immor-
atty, but have been guilty of in
iudicious conduct thru CORE
spondencc.
Many Of the ministers regard
johnson s action In voluntarily
withdrawing as manly thing,
because it would probably save
the conference from the embar-
rassment of an investigation in
case the matters referred to in his
letter should be brought up
agaist him.
Johnson was about 46 years of
age. He came to the Missouri
conference from England fifteen
years ago, and has been pastor of
Methodist churches at Memphis.
Monroe City, Albany, Huntsville,
Brooktield, Salisbury and Clar-
ence. He has wife and son, the
latter 16 years old.
The ministers who know him
well say that johnson was very
popular in the various Missouri
towns where he had lived. that he
was an excellent musician and
was regarded as a power in all
kinds of church work.
