Excerpt from Broadway Tabernacle Church: Its History and Work, With the Documents Relating to the Resignation of Its Pastor On the morning of Sabbath, October 22d, 1871, the pastor made to the congregation the following announcement: In fulfillment of a purpose formed some time ago, for a reason strictly personal, which at that time was conclusive to my own mind, and which has since become imperative, I do now resign the office of pastor in this church, which I have held for more than twenty-six years. I shall request the church, at its meeting on the 1 st of November next, to unite with me in calling a Council for the dissolution of the pastoral relation. But it would not be proper to keep the congregation in suspense until that time, and I therefore affectionately invite all persons who are stated attendants upon my ministry, members of the congregation as well as of the church, to come together in an informal manner, to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock, in the chapel, when, in the confidence of a family gathering, I will state the cause which has compelled me to this step, and which at the same time compels my retirement from every form of public office and responsibility. In making this announcement, from a decided though painful conviction of duty, I throw myself upon that indulgent regard with which this people of my love have always favored me. Having announced his resignation, the pastor preached the following sermon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
