Pitts took charge of the Bftptis pastorate of the town of Laurent Last Sunday morning lie resigned hi charge. Members of the church tel us that the resignation came as a sui pr.ise to the congregation. Mr. Pitt decided on this step after thouglitfi nd prayerful deliberation. The rei gnation is to take effect so soon a rrangements can 'be made for hi uccessor. As to the future plans c Ir. Pitss wve are not advised. Of the members of the congregatio: .uring the first period of this devoi ecd pastor's labors in this communit: nly three survive, namely, Dr. J. A arksdale and Mrs. Ann Garrett, o city, and Mr. Enoch West, c lar Springs.

It must thrill hi rt with pleasure, although, it ma ng its pain, to look down the vist those years and recall the scene he sees the .ehildren of long ag e into his church; he sees ther w' to beautiful womanhood an o imanhood; he join the youn couples in the holy bonds of wedlock. Swifty rll the years, and now 'he receives ipto the church of their fath ers and' inothers children of the chil dren of a generation gone. It is a good record, and worth more than sil ver and gold., The hearts that are. bound to Mr. Pitte are not all in the Baptist de nomination-they belong to members of other deiominations and to people of no dnomination too.-Laurens Her aid.
