Callanan, 14.00 49.05 13.92 13.20 1t has been well known for a year or two that trouble has existed in the U. P. church, certain: leading members expressing a desire to have Dr. King retire and give place to a younger and more vigorous ministe Not only was this desire exprossed, but every effort was made to have the old pastor understand that the members of the congregation . who wished to have him removed would not rest content until their object had been attained. Galt, Nov. 26.â€"The resignation of Rev. Dr. King, for 26 yvears pastor ef the United Presbyterian chnucch, oi this town, was annouaced from the pulpit yesterday by ihe aged minisâ€" ter,, whose emotion aimw=t overcame him ‘as he referred to the incidents leading up to it. Things . were . made ancomfortable for him in many ways. On one occasâ€" ion, at a meeting of the church sesâ€" sion, a resolution calling for his reâ€" signation was proposed, but a sort of compromise was reached, whereby Dr. King was given time to consider the situation. Since then, it seems, from what the minister said in the pulpit yesterday, the element opposcd to him never ceased, offending him indignantly. He has recently received letters of a character which grieved him to the very heart. While he knew that he had the sympathy and support of a large proportion of the congregation yet he had comeâ€"to feel that he coutt not continue in office and be the vicâ€" tim of the petty persecution by which he was assailed without losing his own selfâ€"respect. _ He, therefore, had resolved to end it all by asking the Presbytery to relieve him of the charge. The annual business meeting of the congregation of the German Baptist cburch, Beriii, was beld on Mord:y and was largely attended and har monicus throughout. The pastor. Rev. F. Kaiser, presided. The re ports of the various departments . of church work were presented _ anc showed that the church has mad« progress during. the first term _ o Rev. Mr. Kaiser‘s pastorate. _ Th financial. statement was encouraging. It was unanimously decided _ t« make an cffort to increase the at tendance at the Sunday evening serâ€" vices, by giving the pastor permis sion to conduct the evening service: on Sunday in English. It wes the general opinion that the young peo ple of the church prefer Y-Jnglish serâ€" vices to the German and in order to keep them in the church this step has been taken. The first English service will be held at an early date. The officers for the ensuing _ year were clected 4s follows: m(aryâ€"fl. C. Schulte. Treasurerâ€"C.. B. Dunke. 5 Trusteesâ€"P. S. Lauterschlager, A. Bochmer, and P. Hymmen. The whole town is deeply moved by the incident. Rev. Dr. King is 2 saintly old minister, _ a _ forcitl: preacher, a man of kindly instine‘s and â€"a good citizen. Very general sympathy goes out to him in his nreâ€" sent trials. A very successful and cnjoyable "At Home‘"" was held under the ausâ€" pices of the Berlin Club in the rooms on Friday evening, which was largely attended by the clite of the Twinâ€" City. The evening was spent very pleasantly in cards and dancing and altogether it proved to be one of the most delightful gatherings of the season. A sequel to the wedding on Thursâ€" day was a reception held at the reâ€" stdence of exâ€"Mayor and Mrs. Butâ€" ler, Brunswick street, last evening, in honor of Miss Maude V. Butler, who has been engaged for some time in voice study in Toronto under Mr. Schuch, and Miss Violet G. Butlet, of Berlin, who was bridesmaid at the afternoon‘s event. A happy evening was spent.
