Moran Herald There was some
fear among the Presbyterian church
people last week lest they should lose
their minister, F. w. Mitchell, AS is
we'll known Rev Mitchell divides his time
between Moran and LaHarpe. The La
Harpe church has grown to such an
extent since its organization that the
members thought they should have
the entire time of the minister, SO
they extended a call to Rev. Mitchell
asking for all his time at that place
instead of half of it as he is now Civ
ing. The matter was decided at the
Neosho Presbytery which met at Par.
sons last week and by its action nc
change will be ,made, which fact is
very gratifying to the church at this
place. During Mr.. Mitchell's pastor
ate here he has instilled new life into
the church land has seen it prosper
and grow as aresult OF his labor, and
while he had no special desire to make
the change so far as hewas personally
concerned he would probably have
done so had the Presbytery so ordered
The rest of the people'beside those be
longing to the Presbyterian churct
are glad that Mr.. Mitchell is to re
main with us.
