A Successful Pastor.

Under the above heading we clip
the follow article, from the There
Rivers, (Mich.,J Tribune, OF April
18th, in reference to Rev. l.. C..
Routzahn, who arrived In Salina
last Wednesday, to take charge Of
the English Lutheran church at this
doint:
Rev. l. c Routzahn, pastor OF the
the past eight years, rendered his
resignation a few weeks ago to take
effect May LIST. TO say that this an.
nouncement surprised and shocked
his congregation Is not overdrswing
the picture. When they fully
realized however that IL was an ir-
revocsble decree, they accepted the
situation and betook themselves to
contriving how best to show their
regard for him. 1t was resolved to
give him benefit reception, which
came of last Friday evening In the
church, aud besides being Q social
event OF much eclat and great en-
joyment, Il netted the parson the
snug sum Of $l23
He preached his farewell discourse
Sunday morning to q very large and
interested congregation, who listen
ed with wrapt attention to the last
words they expect to hear drop from
his lips soon, IL ever again. His re-
moval causes universal regret, for as
christian minister, outside the
pulpit, his walk and conversation
have been blameless; as q citizen he
was highly esteemed for his upright
and patriotic course, and both he
and his wife will be missed In the
best society circles.
He came to this charge eight years
ago fresh from school. He found
the church In . sad and dishearten-
ed condition with q mem bership Of
only 80. 1t was then o mission
church and the salary was $500
The last six years OF bis pastorate,
the church has been self-sustainiug.
The membership now numbers over
800, and the salary Is $1,000. Not
withstanding the church edifice has
been remodeled and extended at q
cost Of more than 1900, it is now
free Of debt. The Sunday school has
increased from an attendance OF 90 to
an actual attendance Of near 275 and
an enrolment Of $50. He has added
to the membership Of the church al
most weekly As the increase under
his illustrations has been 1888. He
has attended l7s funerals and
officiated at l57 weddings. The es-
timated amount Of money raised for
all purposes during his pastorate
amounts to $l6, 800.
He has done . great work. Com
paratively speaking, he has evange-
lized the part Of the city I'm which
his church In located. Few young
ministers have proven more worthy
or done more efficient service for the
Master during . first pastorate. The
Tribune bids him God-spted aud
wishes him abundant success In
winning souls aud advancing the
cause Of the Redeemer among the
people with whom he has been called
TO labor In the future.
