ton as pastor yesterday after the
morning service. effective September
~.
Mr.. Bristow resigned to become su-
perintendent of the South Carolina
Baptist Hospital at Columbia. The
idea OF unconditional hospital orig
mated with him. 1t was upon his ini-
tative that the State Baptist Conven.
ton established that institution. When
it was opened last year the trustees
urged Mr.. Bristow to accept the SUI
perintendency, which was steadfastly
declined, though he consented to
manage 1t until a superintendent
could be secured.
Several weeks ago, when Superin-
tendent Gentry notified the trustees
of his intention to leave the hospital,
they at once turned to Mr.. Bristow,
who has since had the matter under
consideration. The elimination came
yesterday in his resignation.
Mr. Bristow has been pastor of the
Abbeville Baptist church for the past
five years, having come TO AbbavilIc
from Wihamstnn in September, 1910.
The church has nude wonderful
strides during his passionate The
membership has been more than dou-
bled. new church building has been
erected, which is one of the larg est
and best in the State. and the contri-
buttons to all causes have been multi
piled five times during this time.
