Departure OF MIR. Ostenson.

Last Sunday Rev. Mr.. Ostenson heIc
services at st. James church for the
last time in his capacity as rector OF
tha, church. and a large congregation
listened to two able and instructive ser.
mons.
Mr.. Ostenson has been with US nearly
five years and has been a very Jealous
worker in his chosen profession. He
has always been to the front in every
effort to raise the moral and religious
sentiment Of the White river valley, and
in his quiet and unobtrusiye way, did a
great deal for the welfare Of his fellow
men. sts
When Mr.. Ostenson came here he
found the people Of st. james church
struggling under heavy load of debt
He at once set about clearing on the
floating Indebtedness, and after getting
that out of the way he started in on the
bohueu oeDl, whicn, as HERALD read
ers are aware, he wiped out last May
All of this he accomplished under a,-
verse circumstances and entirely BY his
own efforts.
Mr. ostenson is man of recognized
ability, and is we'll qualified TO fill his
present responsible position. His many
friends in Meeker and vicinity will be
glad 10 know that he will be with them
Occasionaliy-at least until regular
minister can be had to till his place here.
MAY success attend him in his new
field OF labor is the earnest wish Of THE
