Sherman, Tex., Oct. 17 - A few Sundays since the congregation at the Second Baptist church was surprised by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Ivey, reading an open letter containing his resignation.  The congregation very promptly refused to listen to it, and not until the
pastor had urgently requested it would they let the matter go into the hands of a regular committee.  To-day the resignation was not only set aside, but by a vote of a ratio exceeding ten to one the congregation called him to remain as pastor for another year.
This afternoon at his study Rev. Mr. Ivey said to The News correspondent:
"You can say that in all probability I will accept the call."

This testimonial of the respect and confidence his congregation entertains for this worthy pastor finds a hearty echo in the hearts of the whole community, where he is esteemed as a Christian gentleman and a good citizen.
