I said you should have reports of all meetings when you were not present but I have so much to do that you must excuse me for As Written: fa a little while and perhaps it will not be necessary for you to have full reports of these last two meetings.

There were 41 members of the Church present at the meeting last week and 39 this evening.

Mr. Gill sent his resignation as Asst. Pastor and I thought it was unanimously accepted but Mr Bradley said that Mr & Mrs. Bailey did not rise, it was a standing vote

Mr. Johnson and myself called on Mr Gill this evening and handed the letter to him containing the vote of the Church, which was, Voted – to accept the resignation of Rev. W. I. Gill as our Assistant Pastor, his labors with us to cease on this date, and his salary to be paid to Jany 31 – 1887.

After reading it I asked him if it was clear and he said it was, that his work with us was done and ended now.

He has also resigned from the Publishing Society and Mrs Crosse would like to have a meeting Friday evening to accept his resignation.

If he does not withdraw from the Association then I should like to have him asked to do so or drop him.

Mr. A. L Lang called on me this afternoon saying that he had been sent there from the College; I never met him before; he was a tall man of about 30; thought he resembled Mr Alfred Lang; had a light colored overcoat; told him I would write him.
