JOHN ROWAN AND FAMILY.
The influence and work of Rev. B. F.
Rowland here will not soon be forgotten.
It is pleasure to his many friends to learn
of his continued success. His charge at
Springfield was perhaps the most difficult
in the conference. The church was in
chronic decline. Prophecy of the failure
of the new pastor and pity that so young
man should be sent to SO hard place were
frequently expressed. In a little more
than two years this church has been trans
formed. It has received 1O3 new members.
1t has avigorous Epworth League of about
100 members. 1t has new life, energy and
harmony in all its departments. To-day
this is the leading church in Springfield.
The great popularity of its pastor is firmly
grounded in his modest worth, his ability
and his earnest, devoted work. The health
of Mrs. Rowland is much improved.
