Rev. John f. Stone has decided to
accept the call Of the Christian chur ch
at Huntington and Will begin his pas
torate there on the fifth of February.
He has rendered his resignation TO the
congregation here, which has been ac-
cepted with deep regret, aud not only
his church but the entire religious
community regret that his connection
with this church is so soon to be
severed. Mr.. Stone has been here
about two years and a half and during
his ministry there have been about
one hundred and seventy additions to
the congregation while the collections
have multiplied several hundred per
cent. Bluefield is the banner church
OF the two Virginias in missionary
offerings.
MIR. Stones success is due in some
measure TO the excellent little news
paper he issues every month, The
Bluestone Messengey-and we learn
from him that he will continue its
publication at Huntington under an
appropriate name. IL is not only n
saluabl e agent in keeping the business
OF the church prominently before the
congregation, but IS an aid in the
spiritual growth and development of
his church.
