BAPTIST STOR
RESIGNS CHARGE
The Rev. B. D. STEELE Accepts
Call to Church at
Chester, Pa.

The Rev, Bergen %. stelle rendered
his resignation as pastor OF the
First baptist church at the morning
preaching service there Sunday, in
order to become pastor of the Up
land Baptist church at Chester, Pa.
to which a call was recently given
him. 1t is his plan to take up his
new duties the first week in June.
The announcement by the Rev. Mr..
stelle came as big shock to his
congregation and deep ~egret is felt
that he should be taken away from
the local church. The call from
the Pennsylvania church was also
quite unexpected as the Rev. Mr..
Stelie was nicely situated here,
loved his congregation and inteded
to stay in the city indefinitely. A
larger field of activity is opened to
him, however, in the pastorate Of
the Upland church, which Is closely
connected with theological sem
mary there, and Mr.. stelle felt it
was his duty to seize the opportunity
for greater service in the work of
the Lord.
During his passionate of three
years in this city, Mr.. stelle has
been very successful in his en-
deavors and has welded an influ-
enee for good that will be missed
when he leaves the city. He is an
able. scholarly and eloquent
preacher and a thinker whose coun-
sells have been of valuable aid
among the people of this commu-
nifty. Many people of Clarksburg
who are not affiliated with the Bap-
list church will share regrets with
the members OF the congregation
over the proposed departure of Mr..
STEELE and also of his estimable fam
lily. He has been splendid fellow
citizen as we'll as an excellent minis
ter, and his wife and children have
also become endeared in the hearts
of a wide circle of friends.

nounce that work will begin at their
mine here within the next few days.
The mine has been idle for several
months. but several orders have
been lately received and it is en-

work for FIVE or six months at least.
The announcement is very pleasant
news to the mine workers as this Is
desirable place to work and will
give employment to about forty
men.
Owing 10 the strike of the drivers
at the Marshall mine, there has been
ia considerable decrease in the load
ing and it is said that it will be
some time before the mine resumes
full operations. The men were
promptly discharged after the
strike and as yet the company has
been unable to find sufficient num-
Der OF men to fill their places. It
was learned that an effort was made
Monday to effect a compromise and
induce the strikers to return to
work. but they had obtained en-
