Central Baptist church called Rev.
A. d. Williams as pastor, on or abtUt
the 18th of January, he arrived and &C
cepted the pastorate of the church at
$1,000, with parsonage furnished. The
church offered the supposed pastor
every inducement possible and ne
seemed satisfied to that extent he
seemed to begin to prepare to remain
permanently. The members soon
learned to love him and were doing
everything possible to make the new
pastor welcome and feel at home
But, however, he of his own accord
went away after the church had paid
his railroad fare and salary with the
promise that he would come back with
in three or four weeks to remain per-
manently. But, alas, A letter came
stating that he could not leave his
church in Atlanta, Georgia, expressing
his regrets, also conveying his resig-
nation as pastor of Central Baptist.
Hence Central church is now without
pastor.
Therefore, we pray the Lord of The
harvest to send shepherd to lead and
guide his flock.
Done by order of the church in a
special communication, April 24th
1912.
