Council of churches to dismiss Rev.
F. i. Grant as the Congregational
pastor has been called for Monday
afternoon at o'clock in the chapel
At that time formal exercises in con-
nection with Mr.. Grants severance
of his official relations with the local
church will be held. Mr.. Grant has
asked that his resignation become
effective on November II, although
he considers it unlikely that he will
leave town for a number of weeks.
He is scheduled to preach his fare
well sermon tomorrow morning and
it is expected that the congrega ton
will be unusually large. While Mr..
Grant has not stated where he will
locate after leaving PlainVille, having
limited himself to reporting that he
has two offers under consideration, it
was reported today that at the services
tomorrow he will announce his plans
to members of the church.
The ecc1esia stical council has al
ready taken favorable action on the
pastors resignation and formal dis
nissal is the sole move now necessary
to relieve him of his duties.

will arrange to have out Of town
preachers conduct the services until
a new pastor is secured and candidates
for the place will be invited to come
here to occupy the pulpit.
