Resigned the Rectorshlp,


1t was with much sorrow that the
congregation of Trinity Episcopal church
last Sunday received the announcement
OF the resignation of their rector, Rev
j, B. Whaling. Rev. Whaling has
had several tempting offers and has ac-
cepted the rectorship of the Episcopal
church at Fayetteville, one of his prin-
cipal reasons for making the change
being the educational facilities offered
his children by the state university
there. As stated the resignation of Mr..
Whaling was received with much re-
gret for he has been very popular not
alone with the members of his church,
but with our people generally as we'll,
and has done much to advance the cause
of the Episcopal church in Van Buren,.
He will preach his farewell sermon Sun
day, June 14th, which is the date set
for Bishop Brown visit here.
