PRESBYTERY RECEIVES NOTICE TODAY Pastor of First Presbyterian Church for Forty-Five Years. THE STATEMENT MADE 3 matene Res 2 ee The chief feature of the morning meeting of the presbytery of Washington, the an- nuz! session of which began last night at the Church of the Covenant, Connecticut avenue, was the pr ion of the re- quest, by Rev. Dr. Byren Sunderland of the First Church, to be allowed to resign. It was known by some that Dr. Sunder- land was contemplating such a siep, but it was in the nature of a surprise to most of the members of the preshytery. It was not thought that he was ready just yet to resign-his charge, though he has served there cortinucusly for a period of forty- five years and t ly two-thirds of his life there. greatly moved as 1 the reques ad it was heard in tful silence by the other members of the presbytery. ‘The sole reason for his taking the step, he declared, was his advanced age, he be- ing now in his seventy-seventh year. He took occasion to stamp any r2port of dif- ferences or jealousies existing between him and Rev. Dr. Talmage, his co-worker, as false in every particular. He eulogized’ Dr. ‘Talmage in th> highest terms. Dr. Sunderinnd’s Statement. The paper containing the request which was presented was as follow: “Moderator and brethren: “I come today to make of you a request which is one of the most painful of my life, on all accounts, for it m2ans the final sur- render of so much that I hold dear—the closing of my active ministry in <he Gospel and the sundering of many precious ties. “For forty-tive years 1 have been a mem- ber of this presbytery, under one name or another, and for forty-five years the pastor of the ‘old church in 4% street. Great changes have in this time swept over us all, and nowhere more than oVer the church of my pasterate. Only six of the church membership that welcomed me to that pul- pit now remain. “But though many have come and gone during this leng period, and though we have had to contend against most formid- able odds, th» membership of that church today is a clear hundred more than it was cn the day when I assumed the pastorat ‘The people of that church and congre; tion have been uniformly kind to me, with all my faults and shortcomings, and they have done all they could to cherish and uphold me. And, so far as I know, there are no dissensions among them, either on general grounds or on my own account. I do not suppose there is one of them that would even now suggest to me the desir- ableness of taking the step I am about to pr fear of wounding iny feelings. 1 they have done for me I am truly thankful, and as long as memory lasts they will have my profoundest gratitude. npliments His Co-Worker. “The coming of Dr. Talmage to us when and as he did fn a critical period of our history, I regard as a special act of the Divine Providence. And his coming to us has been in many ways of the highest benefit. He dene for us all and more than all he w pledged to do in the orig: inal agreement. My relations with him bave been at all times of the most pleas- ant and fraternal character. I regard him {n many ways as the foremost preacher of our times. No cloud has ever shadowed our frienést and I trust it will be so to the end. It has heen a special relief to me to have him with us, and I sometimer feel that 1¢ may have added sume year: to my life. On several occasions we hav: been annoyed @y unfriendly gessip in the press, but we have moved steadily for ward amid all the embarrassments, anu we are in better condition today than w have been at any time in the last fiv At every service the church is fill its utmost capacity and scores ar> turned away. “As to my associations with the members of this presbytery they have been most pleasant fraternal, and 1 feel the keen- ist interest in the prosperity and success of all my brethern. You have more than once bestowed cn me the highest honor in ‘69 at the reunion, in '88 at the centennial, and only last year at Winona. “I have not had the heart to talk much with our people about the request I am to make today, and can only say that our session has been duly informed within the last week of the step I am here to take, and that my beloved elder and friend, Charles L. Du Beis, whose father was for many years a trustee and honored elder in cur church, is the representative of our pecple now present, and the presbytery may learn from him the desire of our church, “Our form of government seems not to lave provided for the special case now before you—the only section relating to a pastoral resignation being chapter 17. But, dear brethren, I have no grievance but that of advancing age, for I am now in my seventy-seventh year, and wish to be relieved of a responsibility which I am no longer fit to meet. My request is that my pastoral relation with the First Pres- byterian Church of this city be dissolved.” Expressions of Regret. Many expressions of regret were heard from those present during the reading of the paper by the venerable minister, and scme of those who have known him for many years were visibly affected. ‘Tite vceice of the pastor himself was tremulous, and he declared that he could not talk ir Til health is a luxury that only the rich can afford, aud that no one can en- joy.

Elder Du Lois of the First Church spoke feelingly of the proposed step. He stated that the members of the church had not, as was intimated by Rev. Mr. Sunderland, refrained from asking his resignation be- cause they thought he was too old for the work. One and all, he said, would regard the resignation as a calamity. Painful as it would be, he said, he would refer the request to a meeting of the eonerera cn of the church, to be called probably in a week or 50. Dr. Bittinger, the stated clerk of the presbytery, made a motion that the con- gregation of the First Church appear be- fore the presbytery to take action on the question of the resignation. This was sec- onded by Rev. Dr. Alexander, and carried. It was then settled that the matter be brought before the presbytery at its regular intermediate meeting in June, unless a spe- cial meeting be called before that time. Dr. Sunderland declared it was not his in- tention to sever his relations with the church before the beginning of the regular summer vacation. Routine Business. When this matter was finished the regu- lar order of business of the day was taken up. This was the report of the condition of the books of the churches in the presby- tery. Thelist of one mister and one elder from each church was read.

At that hour lunth was served by the ladies of the church in one of the class rooms.
