Rev. John H. Grey, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church o
this city, has asked his church to
co-operate with him in bringing
about a dissolution of the rela
tions betweeu himself and the
Concord Presbytery. is under
stood that there will be a congre
gational meeting held next Sun
day for Hie purpose of taking acfcT
ion on tha matter. Mr. Grey has
been away from Salisbury for
several mjiithx endeavoring to re
cover his health, and while his
condition shows some improve
ment he does r.ot feel that he will
be able to resume his work soon.
It will be a matter of -sincere re
gret to the congregation, and to
the many outside friends f Mr.
Grey, that he nas felt compelled
to take this action. Mr. Grey is
not ouly an ideal pastor, tut. is
ne of those christian ministers
who poshes in a marked degiee
the faculty of reaching and im
pressing others. While quiet and
unobtrusive, he is a man of strong
influence for good in the commu
nity, and few people have come
in contact with him personally
who did not feel that they were
opnefiud. Mr. Gray's place will
be hard to fill, for there are few
like him.
