The request OF Rev. l. e. Wallace in
dissolving his relationship as pastor
of this church to take up tho work
Of supervision Of the home mission,
Sunday school and young peoples
work in Piedmont Prosbytery, hav-
ing been called by Presbytery to this
work Under the circumstances, the
church could only grant the double
request Of Rev. Wallace and that Of
Presbytery. In doing so it was, with
profound regret, for during his pas
torate Of almost ten years he has
builded q. work which will stand as
a monument to his pastoral fidelity
and ability. 1t was largely through
his influence that tho 'Presbyterians
Of Seneca have their handsome house
of worship, with modern equipment
for the graded Sunday SCHOOL, He
has at all times been untiring and
unselflsh in, his efforts to put for

ual good not only of his own flock,
but for the community at large. An
organizer and a leader of young peo-
pie being strong points in his Chris
tian lfe.y Piedmont Presbytery rec
ognized this and called him for this
field Of service. His relationship as
pastor will not be severed until the
end OF the year. andYat that time he
will enter; upon his now duties in
a. wider field OF usefulness. At this
meeting a committee was appointed
to draft resolutions expressing re-
