REV. GEORGE GARRETT WARE.

Il. 81
Rapid City journal: Rev. G.. q.
Ware, who has done such magnificent
church work in our midst, has, we. learn
with regret, severed his connection with
the Emmanuel church. Five years ago
the Episcopal church OF this place was
represented by only small mission.
The few persons then representing the
church here occasionly met for services
i'll Library hall and Mr.. Ware whose
ranch was located some thirty miles on,
was then in the habit of driving up to
read the service. His special aptitude
for the work was soon seen and appreci-
ated, and in time he became so interest
ed in the work that he gave up his
farming business and devoted himself
exclusively to the building up of the
parish.
Under his administration it has pros
pered to wonderful extent. The SO
ciety has under his wise and business
like management built handsome
gothic stone church that would do cred
it to place ten times the size of Rapid
City, and he, moreover, has been able to
fill it, every Sunday, with those among
the best cultured citizens of the town.
Mr.. Ware is of English birth and
comes of family long noted for it's
prominence in church work. His grand
father was the Reverend John Garbett,
long the arch deacon of Birmingham.
His father is at present rector of two
parishes in Hereford, while his two
brothers have the care of souls, one in
the north of Scotland, and the other in
connection with one OF the great cathed-
rails of England.
Mr.. Ware was himself educated with
a view of entering the church, first at
st. Michaels college at Teabury, Wor-
cester. and afterwards at Bradfeld col
lege, Berkshire, but concluded to enter
the Royal navy and actually passed his
examination. Afterwards, however, he
came to America and entered the church
here, for which work he is eminently 1T
ted both by nature and inclination.
It is with great regret that he gives
tup his especial work in Rapid CITY, but
his appointment to the position of rural
dean of the Black Hills deanery obliges
him to do so. He will in the future de-
vote his time to the building up of all
of the churches of the Hills, rather than
one parish as heretofore, SO that what
has been our individual loss, has been
the gain of the entire Hills.
/ In the pulpit Mr.. Ware is brave and
outspoken. He is liberal in his views
and his sermons are OF that character
which have made the regulations of all
our eminent preachers, viz: more devoted
to humanity than to doctrinal points
he Is fully abreast or the times and II
destined to make his mark as public
orator. Rapid City is proud to mote
that Mr.. Ware first made his reputation
among us and as his fame grows as i
will 80 will our pride in him and hi
], work continue to grow.
