THEY ARE TRYING
TO KEEP HIM
But the Belief That Dr. Kerr
Will Leave Richmond
Seems to Grow.

thero were no developments at tho meeting
of liuat Hanover Presbytory yesterday in
connection with tho call from tho Boun
dnry-Avoiuio Presbyterian Church, lu
Baltimore, to tho Rov. Dr. R. P, Korr,
of this city.
So far as is known Dr. Kerr haa reached
no definito conclusion with referonco to
tho call. Tho belief that ho Intonds to
ncoopt It and leave Richmond Is wide?
spread, and b. steadily growing. The
Richmond church, It Is understood, has
roctdved no indication from him of his
Intentions in the matter,
After tho morning service at tho First
Church on Sunday many of tho congre?
gation wont forward and shook tho be
Joved pustor liy tho liiind and bogged
him to stay In Richmond. At it ?neo'lng

pipsslng high appreciation of tho services
of Dr. Ken? mid requesting him earnestly
