VETERAN MINISTER
RESIGNS PASTORATE
Eighty-Fiye Years Old: Believes
Parish Needs Younger
Man.

The Rev. D. e. Loveridge. who has
Just handed in his resignation as rec
tor Of ST. Mary's Episcopal church of
Eugene, Or, TO take effect as soon as
his successor can be chosen, is 50 years
old He has served as rector of the
church here for the past eighteen years.
He states that the growing needs of his
parish require the work of younger
man. But the parish viii be fortunate
if il secures in n younger man one of
equal energy and ability TO the resign
ing rector.
Dr. Loveridge, the minister, is known
10 all the older settlers of Eugene and
hundreds of students who have passed
through college have heard him in st.
Mary s pulpit. But to many he is known
apart from his work as a churchman,
either as a student, mechanic or a
farmer.
Dr. Lovcridge until short time ago
found time TO read the old Greek and
Latin classics in the original with more
fuency than most professors of the Ian
guages could do. He reads his Bible now
in the original, and his scientific as well
as classical learning has been au in
spiration as well as marvel to many

furniture being made by himself and
most of it hand carved in original and
difficult designs, during his ''spare

deal Of his work.
And during these years as rector,
scholar and craftsman, he has main
tanned the most successful vineyard and
small fruit farm to be found in this
section of the State-and the pruning
of his vines and trees he has never en-
trusted to other hands.
He will likely spend most Of his time
in the future on his farm, supplying the
pulpit whenever needed, and doing the
many things and deeds that would be
too much for most younger men, but
which are necessary TO him.
