PASTOR TENDERS
RESIGNATION

The Rev. Lloyd W. Walter, pastor
Of the Pine Street Lutheran church
has accepted call TO tie Trinity
Evangelical church at Kittanning,
Armstrong county and expects to en-
er upon his new pastorate August lst.
Mr.. Walter has rendered his resigna-
tion TO the church council. Although
action has not as yet been taken there
seems little doubt but that his wishes
will be taken into consideration and
that his resignation will be accepted.
1t will 90 into effect on July 26th.
Kittanniug is town of about nine
thousand inhabitants. The church to
which Mr.. Walter has been called is a
mission, only lately organized. The
field is a fruitful one, in which all the
conditions favor rapid growth and de-
velopment in a religious body. All
that is needed is a full measure OF
religious zeal and properly directed
etfort-esseutials that will be beyond
a doubt supplied By the Rev. Mr.. Wal
er. The best wishes not only of the
congregation of the Pine Street Luth-
eran church but also of his many
friends, regardless of creed, accom-
pany him into his new field.
Mr.. Walter entered upon the pastor
ate of Pine Street Lutheran. Church on
June l, 1906 During the three years
that he has been in Danville his work
has been uniformly acceptable. He has
brought into the ministry in addition
to a sound education, ample talent, a
devout nature and all those qualities
OF heart and intellect that go TO make
up loved and successful minister of
the gospel.
1t is gratifying to state that Pine
Street Lutheran church has tiourished
DUNG his pastorste and that its record
is one that sll canspoint to with pard-
enable pride.
During conversation last evening
Mr.. Walter took occasion to remark
that it is with the greatest reluctance
that he leaves the present field, where
he has been accorded such good sup
port and where his experiences have
been so useful and agreeable, equiping
him for his life work in the ministry.

SIX SELF-BINDERS
IN ONE FIELD

S. W. Deibert, the unfortunate ten.
ant on the Mettler farm, Gearhart
township, who was the victim of a
fire on July 3rd. dropped into this
office yesterday for the purpose of ex-
pressing through these columns his
heartfelt thanks for the generous treat
ment that he has received from neigh
bors and others.
In addition to a portion Of his crop
of hay, which had been made and
hauled into the barn before the fre,
Mr. Deibert lost with the building his
self-binder and practically all his
farming implements, his loss in all
footing up nearly Thousand dollars
AMI being uncovered with insurance.
Mr.. Deibert's hard luck aroused gem
eral and widespread sympathy. At
the date Of the fire not only was his
grass ready to cut, but his crop OF
wheat was about ripe. On last Satur
day in order 70 help him out with his
harvest the farmers of the countryside e
turned out and, without any cost to
him, cut and shocked twenty four
acres of wheat.
In all there were six self binders fol-
lowing in succession around the field
the spectacle presented being novel
and picturesque one for this section.
Along with the half dozen binders
eleven men were employed in gather.
ing the sheaves and placing them in
shocks. The job was a record one, the
twenty acres of wheat being cut
and shocked in less than four hours
time.
But for the generous assistance rem
dered the unfortunate tenant would
have heen unable TO cut his harvest
without such loss of time as would
have led to waste OF grain. His full
gratitude in the premises will be ap-
precisted by the farmers who came to
his rescue.
