STATEMENT FROM DR.. NoWLIN

Iuasmuch as many Of my friends
have urged me 10 let my name 20 be-
fore the Baptist church for the pas
torate. and in view of the fact that
! will be out Of the city Sunday-the
time for the call 10 be made take
this method Of asking the brethren
not 10 use my name in this connec-
ton,
I feel certain from the assurance
given by many Of the brethren and
sisters that l could get the call by
very large majority but l decline
to stand for election for two reasons.
First. don't think would feel
comfortable as pastor Of a church
with even small minority working
against me.
Second. l would not accept the
call for anything like the salary at
which the other man offers 10 take
it, So thanking my good friends
sincerely I ask that my name be not
used. VIM. D. NOWLIN.
