La at Sunday waa * memorable day In tba mleodar or tba Aaaoelata Reformed church attbla place. At tba conclusion of tba ear- I vices, and after tba benediction bad bean aid, Mr. Bloan aaked tbe member* of tbe church and tba supporter* of tbe cborch to remain for a fa* mloutea. Tbe paatoreald that be bad bean called to a larger field ?that ^ of tba Ktret Presbyterian oh arch In tba city |, of Orsenvllla. That oboreb. ba aald, offered him ti?itar onnnrtunltlea than be could aver 5 bop? to have In the Associate Reformed church, aod be believed It to be hie duly to accept ibe call. He felt sorrow Id severlog the churchl/relations to which be had been born, and Id which bla tatber served, but be waa sore that the same God that bad caased to bin to be born In that church bad oow called bltn to another. He asked the Hupreme Ruler to witness the sincerely of bis speech aod the boneety of bis aetioo. He said that be loved the church of bis fathers, aod be loved this congregation, aod tor the Individual members of thin church be bad much aflectlon. Me parted from them | with aorrow, bnt be tell called to labor In an> other field, where be migbt be more nseiai. i He would likelj not enter opon ble new work before tbe 9rat of Heptember. If the brethren desired be woold serve them nntil then, or ble reel (nation might be aeoepted to take effect at once. When tbe preecber bad left tbe ooogregatloo Mr. P. L. Morrow wee called to tbe ebalr. Motion wee made to accept tbe resignation and after aome dlacnaalon of tbe wording or tbe original reeolntlon It waa amended, and adopted. Elder W. X. Bradley and Elder Jobn Lyon were appointed a oommlttee to Inform Mr. Sloan. Action In reference to aecnrlng another pastor was deferred. The congregation waa not prepared to act. and no definite plan presented itself. A more aolemn or a more Impressive occasion we do not remember. Tbe feeling of tbe, Individual members and the voice and man* ner of the preacher filled the air with tbe eoiemnlty of Ibe oocaalon. Man r realised ibat tbe cbarcb bad lout one of Ita beet and moel naefnl members, and ibat tbe Indlvidoala of tbe congregation bad experienced something of a personal loss. Tbelr pride In bavlng so good a pastor, and tbe oonsclooeuees tbat no cburcb at Ibis place bad a better preaober are bnrt at bis departure. Mr. 81oan la deeply affected. Tbls la, perhaps, tbe most trying ordeal of bla life. May bla manbood and bla Christian grace be anatained by Him whoee voice be la obeying. In ble new Held be will, as In aforetime, flgbl tbe good fight of faith, and work for tbe same cause to wblcb bis life bas been consecrated. Tbe Christian world Is not affected by tbe cbange. He Is still tbe same servant of tbe Great Hlgb Priest to whom we all bow and do our bomage. Tbe change la a matter between Mr. 8kian and bla Maker. Tboee ol bla brethren who have loved him In tbe paal Med love bla none tbe I cm bectuw of bin transfer to another organisation In tbe great army which la serving tbe aame Lord aod praying to tbe wane Ood.
