REV. r. v. ATkISSON'S WITH
DRAWAL FROM THE CHURCH
AND MINISTRY

The newspapers of the state are
worrying some over the action OF
Rev. r. V. Atkieson, former pastor
in the Florida Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church, south, who at
the last meeting of the conference at
Tallahassee, withdrew from the min
istry anu membership in the church.
1t is not unusual for minister TO re.
tire from the work of the ministry,
but when he does this and at the same
time withdraws from membership in
the church, it is pretty good evidence
that either the former preacher had
a grievance, or that he had been re-
quested by tn conference to do so. DR..
Atkisson was only year or more ago
pastor of the church at Miami for d
year, but at the end of his year was
appointed to another place. This
was at the time considered strange,
and it gave the laity an impression
that the autocratic power of the bish-
op and his cabinet of advisers used
that power unfairly, and that there is
more or less politics going on behind
the closed doors of the cabinet room.
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1914-01-02

It is stated that DR.. Atkisson will re-
turn to Miami and engage in business,
pretty good evidence that he can still
hold his head erect among the people
he once served as pastor. OF course
it is no ones business what the
church does with its ministers, as the
minister who takes the vows of ordI-
nation is required to submit to author
ity. But in the case of the Methodist
church, somehow there would be some
advantage to it in having the public
kept free from the suspicion that It
did not always give its ministers
