Rev. M. T. Audrews Resigns,
Rev. M. T. Andrews offered
his resignation Sunday morning
as pastor of the Baptist church,
and at his earnest request the
same was accepted by the con-
gregation. It was voted by the
congregation that the resignation
be published in The Leader, as it
sets forth the very warm attach-
ment between the pastor and his
people, and explains fully his
course in leaving Lampasas. Here
is the address:
Lampasas, Tex. Jan. 24, ’09
Brethren and Sisters of the First
Baptist church:
It appears to me to be my sad
duty to offer you my resignation
today as pastor of this church,
same to take effect February 1st.
For this sudden, and almost ab-
rupt action on my part, I make
humble apology, and offeF the
following explanatory words as
in justification of my course:
An offer has been made me
within the past two weeks to be-
come Assistant Secretary and
Evangelist for the Education
Commission of the Baptist Gen-
eral Convention, with the under-
standing that I am to live in Wa
co. This offer appeals to me
strongly for the following reasons:
1st. I believe, and so do others
that I have some aptitude for the
work.
2nd. The cause of Christian
education lies near my heart. In
the providence of God, I have
been placed on the Commission
for several years, and have
thereby been forced to studv,ik‘
seriously. To the deep rpgret of
-any^ofthe denonquatlbnal lead-
ers, this cauSe- does not hold a
place in the hearts of the people
that is at all commensurate with
its importance. To me its need is
the most appalling and appealing
of all our Baptist enterprises.
3rd. I have now two, and will
soon have three, gir’s ready for
college training. I have found
that it is as much as I can do to
keep one away at college on the
salary that I get, and have am-
ple support left for my family.
The salary is all that the church
ought to pay, and I would not
even remotely suggest an in-
crease. These are bright chil-
dren that God has given me, and
and if I have the ability to fill the
position to which I have been
called, and that position affords
me an opportunity to give them
first-class college training, a
thing I could not otherwise do,
then it seems to me my duty is
clear. In other words, if I can
serve my Lord as well in this new
relation, and at the same time
discharge a higher duty to my
family, who would say nay to
my going? The most sacred
trust that God ever committed to
a father and mother, is children;
and to be recreant to it is culpa-
ble beyond all words to express.
I venture also to offer a word
of exhortation. Some of the
members, out of their attach-
ment to me, and their apprecia-
tion of my labors, have expressed
grave fears that the work we
have started so well will go to
pieces, if I leave it so soon, hav-
ing only been here fourteen
months. I am glad to believe
that those who say this are hon -
estly mistaken. If I could think
for a moment that what they say
is true, it would be an argument
for my going, rathor than for my
staying. If I have built up a
work around myself, rather than
around Christ; if I stand to my
work as a stack-pole stands to
the fodder, which when removed
the fodder goes down, then I
have entirely missed my aim, and
the sooner I leave and such work
comes to naught, the better. I
greatly appreciate the devotion
of those who say this, but I hon-
estly do not believe that my stay-
ing is indispensable to the further
prosperity of this church. If
this noble church will turn her
heart to God for a pastor, and if
her members will pray in the
Holy Spirit who sets overseers in
the churches, and avoid all un-
necessary delay in securing one,
the work will not be seriously
hurt. If you would attract a
worthy preacher to your pastor-
ate, and impress him with your
splendid opportunity, then look
to the hills whence cometh your
help, and pursue your work with
hope. Any church that puts its
faith in a puny man, instead of
in God, is a weak church; and
such an attitude in the event of a
retiring pastor, will never com-
mend a church to a man fit to be
her future pastor. I pray that you
may be strong in this, perhaps
the most delicate test of a
church’s power.
In parting with you, iet me say
what I feel from the deep of my
heart. It has been my joy in the
ten years I have been in Texas,
to be the pastor of two of the best
churches in the world, before
coming to you, viz: First church
Marshall, and first church Mar-
lin. I now place you right along
with these two. No church was
ever more loyal to a pastor than
you have been to mp, No
church has ever dealt with me
quite so prornptly in the payment
of my^sfflary, which has never
delinquent to the amount
of one cent for one minute. So
far as I can recall, you have
never refused or hesitated to do
one thing that I have called on
you to do. There has never
been a moment when I doubted
your willingness to follow my
leadership. I do exceedingly re-
gret that circumstances make
our relation to terminate so soon.
While our stay together has been
brief, to me it has been full of
joy. I shall ever hold your de-
votion to me in loving remem-
brance, and I most earnestly
crave a place in your hearts for
me and mine, and an abiding in-
terest in your prayers.
Very respectfully yours,
M. T. Andrews.

An additional earthquake in
the southern part of Italy, Satur-
day, has caused greater alarm to
exist in that section, and it may
be when full reports come in that
the damage is greater than now
known. The force of the shock
was recorded by the instruments
at Washington.
To Make It Popular.
“The late Joel Chandler Har-
ris,” said an Atlanta clergyman,
“used to laugh at the way every-
body seemed to want a free ad-
vertisement of some sort from the
editor. It was the same, he would
say, with the physician—every-,
body wants free advice on the
health question from him.
“I once heard him tell about
an editor who served ten days in
jail for licking the mayor. The
warden treated him kindly, and
at the ten days’ end, escorted
him to the door and shaking him
by the hand, said:
“Well, good-bye and good
luck, Ed. And say, would you
mind erivine: the jail a puff?”
