G. W. Danner, pastor of the Nagle Street Church of God, this city, resigned yes terday. His resignation was tendered after the committee had recommend ed his suspension from the ministry for a year. The sessions yesterday were taken up with the trial of the Rev. Mr. Dan ner on the immorality charge and the Rev. I. A. McDonald, of Shippensburg, who is charged with slander and hy pocrisy. There are forty-three counts of slander and fourteen of hypocrisy, against him. Details of the charges against the Rev. Mr. Danner have not been issued, as the eldership disagreed on the question of newspaper publicity. The trouble involving the Rev. Mr. McDonald dates back several years, when it is charged he repeatedly wrote letters denouncing Dr. C. H. Forney, of this city, to the secretary of the Board of General Eldership. This relates to the slander charge. Two years ago, at the Shippensby convention, the Rev. Mr. McDonald presented charges of electioneering against a number of ministers. It is because of these actions that he is ar raigned for hypocrisy. The Rev. Mr. McDonald, it is al leged, signed a basis of settlement ad mitting implication in slander and hy procrisy. This was accepted by the judicial committee and the eldership today discussed the advisability of approving it.
