LACKED COOPERATION
Reason Advanced for Resignation Of
Mt. Pleasant Pastor.

That he never had the active CO.
operation of a sufficient number of
members OF the Mt. Pleasant Church
to insure the success of his ministry,
is cited as one of the reasons why
the Rev. Clarence A. Vincent ten
dered his resignation as pastor of the
Mt. Pleasant Church yesterday.
. About 800 members who were abb
sent at the time the Rev. Vincent be-
came pastor are said by him not to
have returned. This, he says, is not
a new condition. He says: 81 am
certain that no church can do the
work for which it exists IL the CO.
operation of the mass of the men,
bers is withheld"

ant Church three years ago. He
