Rev. J. C. Aganier, the live and popular
pastor Of the Highlands Christian church.
yesterday rendered his resignation 10 take
effect on May 81 next This action WAS
taken by him in orGer that he might nc.
cept the appointment of a professorship in
French Canadian Missionary college at
Springfield, Mass. The announcement of
the pastors intention was the occasion of
genuine regret and sorrow in the congre-
CATION which he has served so well. Nv
his ability and steadfast attention to WORK
he is not only the founder of the congre
CATION, but, after two short years work.
he has been the means Of raising a church
building that would be credit to-a much
older organization. Approaching Mr..
Aganier's worth, both as a preacher and a
man, it is rumored that the Highland neo
pie will make an effort to retain him in
Denver.-DenUeT Nctcs.
