A communication from Rev. G. O. Dean, asking that his name be dropped from the Roll of Amarillo Presbytery. Referred to Special Committee in investigation, of Cecil Davidson and G. O. Dean. By motion the committee report was accepted, and filed. Marked I.

Report of Special Committee on Investigation.
We had the matters of rumors concerning Rev. G. O. Dean, who asked for a letter from this Presbytery.
Regarding Rev. G. O. Dean, we have a letter from him, which is herewith attached, in which he asks that his name be dropped from the roll of ministers of Amarillo Presbytery.
We therefore recommend that his name be dropped and that the records show that this was done at his request, and that Rev. Dean be so notified by the Stated Clerk. Further, we call attention to the fact that a man's good name is gone of his most sacred possessions, and that when it is once lost or degraded it may never be regained or it may take a lifetime if it is regained. We therefore would recommend that all ministers, elders and other laymen of the church be very careful about repeating rumors against a minister or other individuals, unless they know some facts to back up their statements. In other words they should be able to produce facts to support their statements, or keep their mouths closed.
Respectfully submitted,
W. H. Cheatham
E. M. Jennings
