PASTOR
OF BAPTIST CHURCH GETS CALL
TO BECOME FIELD EDITOR
OF PHILADELPHIA PAPER.
Rev. II. Warren Nice Offered Position
on the Baptist Commonwealth of
Philadelphia, One of Seven Church
Papers-interesting Lecture by
Prof. Knight Last Night.

Rev. H. Warren Nice, the popular
and talented young pastor of the Bap-
fist church in this city, is considering
the acceptance of a proposition made
him recently to become the field ed.
itor of the Baptist Commonwealth of
Philadelphia, n of the seven publica-
tons of the Baptist denomination in
the United States, and the representa-
Pennsylvania. Delaware, New Jersey
and Maryland. The Baptist Common
wealth is a weekly publication, the
first number in each month being a
magazine number of t~hirty-two pages,
with special departments and illus
tratcd articles, these being the ones
to which Rev. Nice will devote much
of his time should lie accept the call.
To a Republican reporter this morn
ing he said he had not fully decided
upon his course in the matter, but the
probability was that he would accept.
The new position will give him resi-
dence in Philadelphia, where his folks
reside. and where he spent his boy
hood days. The increased salary will
be some inducement, he says, and the
larger field of usefulness will have its
weight in determining his considera-
ton of the proposition.
The number of the Commonwealth
for February 10 contains on its first
page a splendid picture of the First
Baptist church of this city. and on
page 20 a coiumn article entitled "A
Successful Western Pastor" with a
picture of Rev. Nice. The article is as
follows.
"The UNCONVENTIONAL press has re,
Gently noted that the First Baptist
church Of Laramie. Wyo., has burned
the mortgage which represented the
last cent of the Indebtedness which
had been hanging over the property
for nearly twenty years. The success
OF this effort is attributed largely to
the energetic and untiring efforts of
the popular young pastor. H. Warren
Nice. Many Philadelphians will recall
Mr.. Nice a. having been at one time
connected with Temple college. and
later assistant to DR.. Conwe!l at Grace
church, where his uncle, Mr.. Eugene
e. Nice, is a deacon. IN view of these
facts, it will be interesting to the Com
m~onwealth's readers to learn some
thing more of this pastor and his
western charge.

the University of Pennsylvania and
Grocer and Chicago universities. 1t

a very interesting and entertaining
lecture at the Presbyterian church
last night. in the popular series of
Sunday evening lectures, before one

ed at that church. Prof. Knights lee
ture was on What God Did Before He
Made Man, and was illustrated with
a large number %stereoption views, the
machine being worked by Prof. Read
of the geological department of the
university. Many of the views were of
prehistoric animal life. and the lecture
was the religion of geology and the
geology Of religion. Prof. Knight, al
ways an interesting talker on his pet
subject. was doubly so last night. the
occasion being so suspicious and the
audience SO a~ppreciative.

LAST LOT OF MACHINERY
HAS BEEN RECEIVED,

The last a of machinery, derrick,
etc, purchased by the Laramie Oil and
Gas company arrived yesterday and
will be hauled out to its lands as soon
as the teams "a get there.
The first well will be put down on
leased land OF the Bacon ranch. The
two oil companies. the Albany Oil and
Development company and the Lar
annie Oil and Gas company, will drill
several wells on the Laramie plains.
Their lands are lear to and adjoining,
SO that a well put down by either COM
pany will develop their several hold
ings. The Albany Oil and Develop
ment company intends to put down
two wells on the Little Laramie, one
four miles west of Laramie and one on
Mr.. Haley's ranch. provided terms can
be made for the land.

advice was taken, and with gratitude,
for God has wonderfully restored his

portion.
while a student at the University
of Pennsylvania he was the professor
OF history in Temple college for two
years, and then was assistant to Rev.
Russell H. Conwell for another year,
which meant years Of crowded work.
While 1T the University of Chicago
he was student supply at Darien, Wis,
and also at Galena, ILL.,, but the Lar
annie church is his first regular charge.
THE First Baptist church of Lar
annie was organized soon after compile
ton of the Union Pacific railroad
across the mountains, in 1869, SO it is
n of the early pioneer churches Of
the west.
1T had all the ups and downs of the
western fields, but for fifteen years
was the only self-supporting church in
the state of Wyoming.
Five years G it was so discour-
aged by the various changes in pas
torate and heavy interest on it's mort
gage that serious thoughts were enter
tanned of closing the church. The
Home Missionary society stepped in
and offered its assistance. The pres
ent pastor was called, and after four
and one-half years of work the mort.
gage is cancelled. the church property
vastly improved and is now one of the
handsomest and strongest churches in
the state.
With only two exceptions, every
communion service in the past four
and one-half years has welcomed new
members, and now the membership is
in splendid working order.
ITO accomplish all this has been
hard work, but Mr.. Nice has thriyed
upon it, as he came to the church
broken in health and is now strong and
vigorous in every way.
Notwithstanding his success and
the attachment he has formed. Mr.
Nice yearns to again take up work in
the east, and it is probable that before
long some eastern field of labor will
claim his services
