PASTOR BONSTEEL'S
RESIGNATION STICKS
Popular Baptist Pastor Will
Not Reconsider Resigna-
ton.

Despite the popular movement in
the First Baptist church to persuade
Rev. r. l.. Bonsteel to withdraw his
resignation, which he rendered on
Sunday July 10Th, the pastor refuses
to do so.
Mr. Bonsteel was in the city Sat
urday morning for short time, when
he w2S interviewed by several of the
church deacons. To them he kindly,
feellng'ly, but firmly declined to recon-
Sldcr hrs resignation as pastor.
With this refusal in view a meeting
OF the church Ws!s held ON Wednesday
evening at the close of the prayer
service, when the matter was laid be-
fore the church.
There was nothing to do but pass
a motion to accept the resignation.
The board of deacons was instruct
ed to draw up a resolution express
ing the regret of the church on the
severance Of relations with their pop
ulsr pastor. These resolutions will
be presented possibly next week.
Mr., and Mrs. Bonsteel have been
spending the week at Pablo Beach,
but are expected home today or to-
morrow. The pastor wiki conduct ser
vices sIs usual on Sunday, and will
continue as pastor tin the end of the
present month.
1t is known that he has received q
unanimous cali to the pastora,te of the
church at Baxley, Ga, and that the
church to which he has been called is
4 strong church, numerically and
spiritually. A united church.
It is known that Mr.. Bonsteel is
pleased with Palatka and his work.
Why he resigns is not known. 1t
is rot the call from BaXley that takes
kim
1t is suspected that lack of harmony
in the local church is playing the
principle part in bringing about this
esign&tion. There are a few men,
bers-a very feW-we are told, who
still resent the acceptance of the res
ignHtion of former pastor P Quintius
C"GcN. They were p9rtizan friends
CT that good msIn and could not bring
themselves to the point of accepting
Hr0ther as their spiritual advisor
They decline to become reconciled to
the new order. Mr.. Bonsteel wants
ell er nothing. He w2nts harmony
and 'un!ted action. He hasn't quite
had it, has am idea he cent get it,

In my heart is the sound of drums
And the sweep of the bugles cali
ing:
The day of the Great Adventure
comes,
And the tramp of feet is falling,
falling,
Ominous railing, everywhere,
By street and lane, by field and
To answer the Voice appealing!
One by one they have put down
The tool, the pen, and the racquet,
One by one they have donned the
brown
And the blue, the knapsack and
jacket;
With smile for the friend of a hap
pier day,
With kiss for the love that would
bid them stay
They are off by the train and pac-
ket.
What fate, wha: star, what sun, n,what
field,
What sea shall know their daring?
Shall the battle reek or the dead
calm yield
Their wreaths that are preparing?
Shall they merely stand and wait the
call?
Shall they hear it, rush and slay
and fa1l?-
What matter Their swords are
barring!
We stand in the crowds that see them
We who are old and weak, un-
ready;
We see the red blood destined to
flow
Flushing their cheeks, as with
footstep steady.
With tramp and tramp, they file
along,
Our brave, our true, our young, our
And the fever burns us fierce and
heady.
With God, then forth, by sea and
land,
To your Adventure beyond story,
No Argonaut. no Crusader band
Ere passed with such exceeding

Though ye seek fields both strange
and far,
Ye are at home where heroes are!
Such is the prayer we send your

Brllliancy, luxury and elegance pass
