SWOPE I The resignation of Rev. Geo. W. r Swope, D. D., as pastor of the First t Baptist Church, was announced in the last issue of this paper. The written document is herewith given to the public: . ( To the Members of First Baptist t Church: s Abbeville, S. C., Sept. 1, 1918. e For two years and two months we c have labored together in the Lord's s work harmoniously, and without a ^ single break in the beautiful fellow- * ship which gripped us from the be- I ginning. These years have been a filled with much of sunlight: nearly ^ $7,500 indebtedness have been li- ^ quidated, improvements of great ( consequence to the work have been made at a cost of nearly $1,000, be- * tween 160 and 170 have been added to the membership, and the whole work has made most gratifying prog *_ T 1 --1- 1 -1. 4.1. I I ress. AS 1 lUUft. uavn. UVCl tucac q two years and two months my heart swells with joy and'with thanksgiv- = ing to God. , While some ties have been broken by death, (ties that were strong and! beautiful) and a few of our dear! members have bade us farewell until we meet in Heaven, yet the shadows have been few compared with the great blessings and preservations which have been ours. Never has aj pastor had more to be thankful forj in friendships and in warm hearty encouragements than have I. I will remember you, and your kindnesses, which have far out-reached anything I had a right to expect?forever. Despite these most fraternal and endearing facts there lies in my mind the call of duty. The voice of evangelism echoes in my heart. I cannot do the work which that call forces on me and be true to this im% / t portant pastorate at the same time. I am urged to be in Baltimore the' first two weeks in October, in Knoxville the last two, in Gaffney the third and fourth weeks in November, in Orangeburg the second and third weeks in December. Other calls for helfi comes for the winter and spring. To these I must turn a deaf ear or throw myself, without reserving an ounce of spirit andi talent, into that great and commanding work. Thp Wnrlrl War Mnlroa T~)onnj>nf1c! That Must Not Be Ignored. After!I while the boys will come home?I come home with banners of victory ? and songs of deliverance. To what I kind of a church life will they come? 1 Most of them are getting visions of = :*e they have never had before. The same old things will not do. For the church to hold and command their energies and devotion, HER! LIFE MUST BE. STRONG INj EVANGELISM AND VITAL WITH SINCERITY. That life is now not thus strong and vital. Pastors, with the help of evangelists, must throw themselves with renewed vigor into this work of regeneration and up lift. I believe my life will in thisj real and tremendous crisis count fori more as an evangelist helping many I pastors and churches. To this per-| suasion I yield my consent. I prayj God that I am making no mistake. Guided by a sincere faith in the divine call to this work, I offer my resignation as pastor of this church to become effective October the first. [ I have waited to this late da^e after much thought to give myself time for proper reflection and to save the work from suffering any lengthy depression therefrom.

HaDDV. indeed, will be my successor. May he be the one God will bring to lead you Jn and I up into a glorious future. Wherever I go. you can be sure of my prayers, and whenever I can serve you, feel free to command. Respectfully submitted, Geo. W. Swope.
