Graham presented his resignation as pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Lexington Virginia to the church session on Monday night, but the session declined to accept it due to his ill health. Graham has served ten years in Lexington after earlier years in Davidson North Carolina. Friends regret his health problems and anticipate withdrawal from the pastorate.
