gret the decision Of the Rev. Dr.
Charles II. Bonner, pastor OF the First
Presbyterian Church, TO sever his pas
toral relations with the local church. |
the Sentinel also feels that Or. Bonner |
has done well 10 decide TO take up his |
work In a larger field Of usefulness.
'Dr. Bohner has done a magnificent
work in Ocean City, where he is highly
by all her people, lrrespect-
We OF religious denominations. His
work and influence have been for good
lOt only In his own church, but In
he whole community.
"a brilliant speaker, a deep student
n affable man, with always a pleasing
word Of encouragement TO his fellow
ncn, Dr. Bonner will be sadly missed
when he leaves for Wilmington. Ocean
,ity's loss will be the gain OF that
'ustling little metropolis OF the Blue
len Chickens State.
