Returns to Pulpit

The acquaintance of H. W. Knicker-
booker, mining man, who operated in
this district during the summer of 1906,
sustaining on several public occasions,
his reputation as an orator and Shaks-
pereau, will be interested in clipping
from the San Francisco Chronicle of
Tuesday, Dec. IA. 1t is spectacular as
to figures, the main fact being that Mr..
Knick erbocker has returned TO the min
istry:
Los Angeles, Dec. 16. Rev. Henry
w. Knickerbocker, gifted orator,
former pastor of the Unitarian church of
Pomona, and previous to that lime a
Methodist preacher, has returned to his
first love and faith, after a strikingly
unusual career, and has started east to
resume the ministry.
few years ago he felt the call to
riches that the pulpit does not yield. and
he left his Pomona charge to become
Nat Goodwin S mining partner. With
s. III his pocket after having bought his
ticket, SO the story goes. Knickerbocker
went to Cold6eld, and in two years was
worth $3.50, 600. He came to know all
the viscissitudes of mining camp life, in
Guiding wild speculation, and lost all he
had accumulated in one plunge,
After enduring hardships he went to
Bullfrog, started anew and 1907 had $50, :
900. More bad investments, the panic,
and again he was broke. In Raw
hide with Goodwin he made $751; and
was looking toward half million when
the bottom dropped out. Just enough
to live on and all opportunity to do good
are enough for Knickerbocker now, he
saws.
