Not a religious crank
August 18, 1888cleveland, ohio, august 17- Some time ago Rev. Dr. George Dowling, for eleven years pastor of Euclid avenue Baptist church, one of the largest and richest in the city, created an excitement by publicly inviting all Christians to partake of communion in his church. The Baptist papers criticized it at length. To-night at a prayer meeting Dr. Dowling resigned not only from his church but from the denomination.
