GRANITEvILLE.

At the close of the evening service last
Sunday night in the First Presbyterian
church, Graniteville, a congregational
meeting was held to consider the resig-
nation of the pastor, Rev. G. Macarthur,
b. A. Robert Mitchell occupied the
chair and read Mr.. Macarthur's resigna-
ton. He then called Mr.. Stuart to the
chair and said that he wished to make
a motion, motion which was the con-
trary to his own wishes and desires, but
in sympathy with the pastors earnestly
expressed desire that the people would
not oppose his resignation. In Difference
to that wish, he moved that, painfully
conscious though we are OF the great
loss we are about to sustain, we hereby
agree to yield to Mr.. Macarthur's affec-
Tomato entreaty not to oppose his
translation to another sphere of labor"
In speaking of his motion, Mr.. Mitch
ell alluded to his long and happy ac-
quaintance with Mr.. Macarthur, the
great esteem in which he was held in
the Canadian church in his former charge
and the many warm friends he had made
among us. He referred to the studious
habits whereby he was able TO preach
such clear, simple and vet foreible SER
mons from Sabbath to Sabbath.
In agreeing to his motion, therefore,
they were agreeing to the giving up of
valuable man, who was always doing
and saying the right thinga man who
stood like a rock against all intemper-
ance and who sang out the truth on So
