MONDAY

_
I
Consternation Reigns nt The Sixth
"Alt. Z'on Church Meeting Monday
Night to Pass oil Dr. Peyton's
Resignation. The Divine
! in New Jersey.
! Tlie notion of Rev. Dr. R. V. Peyton
in proeipitutctlvcly tender! ug UiV
resignation to the Sixth Mount 55 ton
Paptist, Church has produced a sensation
in thai part of this city,, known
us "Old Jackson Ward." it seems- -jr
that lie ims lu en'm touch with the
Montclair congregation for some time
aiiu had accepted the call to Hut
church there without previously advising
the congregation hero of ins
action. On this account, some of his
members hero are criticising It I in.
while a host of others are hoping almost
against hope that he can lie induced
to reconsider, his determination
to leave them and return to his Hoc.,
here again. So far as the general pu ,
lie had been advised all was peace and
harmony between the congregation
and the distinguished pulpit divine,
everything was done for his comfort..
T1U0 PASTODVS SALARY
His salary is reported to have been
$150.00 per months with $25.00 extra
for expenses, his coal furnished, a
parsonage provid?<l for him and lus
store-room kept filled. ;n addition to
tlicse things, he had purcl used in his
these lllimrM lie l.e.l ???
. o". mm luiruiiiisnil 111 lllfi
own right n summer home in Washington
Park ,ii suburban village,
where he could spend his days and
cool nights in retirement. Per. i.?i.
Peyton had recently launched a drive
to build a fine palatial new church,
the estimated cost ranging any where
from $11)0 000.00 down to $100,000.0o
Somo of the members of his flock are
said to have looked with some apprehension
at this venture, but the over
whelming majority of the church
seemed to he supporting him in the
movement.
ACCEPTED THE CALL.
Then came the thunder-clap, the acceptance
of a church in a northern
city and afterwards a peremptory
resignation which has upset the
church. It can hardly ho said that his
enemies were dumbfounded for it is
not credited that he had any In this
large congregation in tho church,
which Rev. John Jasper founded. A
church meeting will consider (lit.
resignation in all of its phases nexi
Mondaynight. Whether it will !>o nc
cepted to take effect at once is the ques
tion, although' ho has severed his con
ncction with tire church and is now
the pastor of another church in New
Jersoy. Rev. Dr. Peyton left the
church once before niuler similar circumstances.
I
PUDPIT VACANT.
The pulpit was kept, vacant for him
for a long timet, until ho formally
gavo up tho church in Washington
and camo hack to a mourning congregation.
Will tho Sixth 'Mount-fclon
Baptist Church accept, the resignation
of Rev. Dr. Poyton next Monda>
night and will it declare the pulpit
vacant and seok another divine to fill
h's place? If pcaco and harmony prevails;
it is expected that this question
will he decided and thnt other ministers
will he Invited in rotation with a
view of finding a sboplmrd for a united
people, who arp trying hnrd to secure
a man of God to lead theiu again
