Elder c. A. Lockhart, who has
been pastor of the Christian church
in this city, during the past
three years has placed his resigna-
ton in the hands of the official
board, to take effect in about thirty
days. Elder Lockhart, during his
pastorate in Anita has been an ac-
tive, persistent worker in the cause
and is justly entitled to great cred
it for the many accomplishments
which his efforts have brought forth
Elder Lockhart is now conducting
meetings at Waterloo. Iowa, and it
is quite probable that he will accept
the pastorate of the Christian
church in that city. This beautiful
church, which Elder Lockhart was
instrumental in building, caught
fire last Sunday and considerable
damage was done before it was
finally extinguished. The blaze
started from the gas plant explod-
ing in the basement The hydrants
were frozen up and the fire,nen
