RECONSIDER MATTER
Hundreds Use influence With Popular
Baptist Minister, Urging Him to
Remain In First Church Pulpit.

Rev. George W. Mcdaniel, d, D..
pastor OF the First Baptist Church,
may possibly reconsider his resigna-
ton. He has told the committee APP
pointed by the church. that although
he could not recall the resignation, he
would look into the matter further.
He has been urged by members of his
own church and hundreds of people
throughout the city and State TO re-
tain his passionate,
DR.. Mcdaniel stated that he had
been requested to take a vacation OF
several weeks before he would give
his final answer. But he said his en-
sagements were so great he could not
be away longer than five days at n
time. and felt that he must be in his
pulpit every Sunday
OF the great representations made
him and assurances OF confidence, DR.
Mcdaniel said he was very grateful
and deemed 1t his duty to give care
ful consideration to the wishes OF his
friends but he could not escape the
conviction that he could not carry
forward the church as fast as II
should GO. He said he believed In
the principle that when resignation
was rendered it should be accepted
and that he did not want to be the
one to violate IL.
DR.. Mcdaniel stated that he had not
considered any call, and that while
he has been at the First Baptist
Church he refused TO allow other
churches to extend him calls But
now. he said. he believed hts passionate
had reached it's climax and that II
was time TO resign. Or. Mcdaniel
added that he was absolutely un-
determined what he should do after he
completed his pastorate with his
church, because there were so many
things that could be dore to further
the Christian cause; but that out OF
the great number II would not be a
difficult matter for him to decide.
