Rev. A. g. Roberts, was read:
To the Clerk, Deacons and Members of the
First Baptist Church, Belfast, Maine:
Three years ago we entered into the rela'
tionship of pastor and people. l believe the
hand of Providence brought US together, ane
we have striven in harmony and peace for the
results that abide.
1t is now my painful duty to place before
you my resignation of this relationship, said
resignation to take effect September l, 1911
To say that this is painful duty is to nc
mel conventional phrase l can assure you. |,
will mean the sundering of dear friendships
and pleasant relationships with you, brothers
and sisters, fathers and mothers in the Faith
No pastor has ever had more willing OF
united or thoughtful people than l have had
in Belfast. One could hope to live and work
always in Belfast, were it the Lords will.
My plans for the immediate future are made
but are not sufficiently matured to be announc
ed as yet.
Let US pray and York that the Shepherd OF
Gods choosing may be sent you at once.
Faithfully yours,
ARTHUR G. ROBERTS.
