Reo.J. W.Kincheloe
Resigns as Pastor
VIII LcaOc Bainbridgc Street
Baptist Church to Go TO
RocRy Mount.

Rev. John w. Kincheloe, pastor of
the cambridge Street Baptist Church.
rendered his resignation yesterday
morning to accept n call to the First
Baptist Church. Rocky Mount, n. c.
The announcement was made during
the morning service, and came as n
surprise to the congregation. The
resignation is effective on September
Is.
Mr.. Kinchcloc has been pastor Of the
Bainbridge Street Church since March,
1913, and is one of the most popular
ministers in the city. His popularity
is not confined to the church, but ex-
tends to the outside world. Before
entering the ministry he was rail-
road man. and he is keen follower
of outdoor sports. He has also taken
Il prominent part In Masonic work for
many years.
The resignation was wholly unex-
pcctcd or the part OF the congrcga-
ton, which will see Mr.. Kincheloe
leave Richmond with deep regret. Dur
ing his four-ycar pastorate he has
done much to build up the church and
has seen the congregation jump from
approximately 700 to SIS members.
There has been an equal growth in
the Sunday school and other church de-
partmentS.
MIR. Kincheloe announced his deter
mination to leave in a short talk be-
fore the regular sermon. He stated
that he was making the move because
he felt that the call to Rocky Mount
offered broader field for his activi-
ties particularly as things In South
Richmond are at high tide. During
his passionate Mr.. kincheloe has de-
clined several calls, recently refus-
ing one to a large Norfolk church.
Although he has only been with
BainbridGe .trcet BAPTIST Church for
four and one-half years, Mr.. Kinche-
loc has been n resident of Richmond
for a much longer period. as he took
his ministerial course at Richmond
College and had as his first charge
Stockton Street Baptist Church, South
Richmond. From there he went to
Princeton, w. Va. from where he was
called by the cambridge Street con-
gregation.
MIR. Kincheloe has made arrange
mcnts to take up his new duties i'm
mediately after leaving South Rich
mond. and will move his family to
Rocky Mount Mr.. Kinchcloe, Mrs.
Kinchcloe and four small sons now re-
side ut 1920 Porter Street.
The church officers were unaware
that the resignation would be tender
cd yesterday. and con. cQuently moth
ing has been done in regard to calling
successor. Many members of the
congregation. however, have expressed
the hope that an effort will be made
TO recall Rev. j. w. Durham. formerly
the church's pastor.

UNSUSED LAND.

In these days, when every bit of land should be made to count in the growing of things, it is disconcerting to realize that there is so much land held out of use in our country.
 Within 30 minutes ride of the New York city hall, for instance, there is said to be sufficient unused land to supply sufficient vegetables and truck produce for the entire metropolis. But instead of that, Gotham gets a large part of it's vegetables and garden truck from California and Florida and other faraway places. This, of course plunges an unnecessary burden upon the railroads.
 This land near New York City, how ever, is held by folks who value it at from $500 to $5,000 an acre; and all the truck it could grow wouldn't pay for the interest on such valuations which are arbitrary and artificial.
