At the quarterly conference held in
Simpson church on the evening of July

the conference which convenes in this
city during September to return their
pastor, Rev. Will A. Knighten, to Simp-
son for another year. 1t was also shown
that during the past year nearly $50 new
members had been taken into the church
by Rev. Knighten, and that about
$44, 900 of the soc, 200 debt on the church
had been provided for, while everything
in connection with the church is in a
prosperous condition. While many of
the friends of Mr.. Knighten feared his
attempting such gigantic undertaking.
they are all ready now to concede the
fact that he has accomplished a great
deal for Simpson church, for which every
member feels grateful, and all wish his
return for another year.
