TO Sand Point. Idaho.
Rev. Nathan Evans is to be the pas
tor of the local Methodist church dur
ing the ensuing year, while DR.. 7. b.
Ford, who has been pastor Of the
Pendleton church, goes to Hood Riv-
er. The new minister comes from
Hood River here and prior to that he
had served two years as pastor of the
church at Sheridan, Iowa. This Is
not his first introduction to this con-
ference, however, as he has formerly
been pastor at Goldendale, North
Yakima, Bellingham and other points
in the west.
DR.. T. b. Ford returned last eve
ming from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho,
where he had been to attend the an
nual conference at which the APP
pointments were made. He will re-
main here all week and will probably
occupy the local pulpit. next Sun
day, morning and evening. The new
pastor will arrive in Pendleton this
evening for a brief visit while on his
way to Hood River from the confer
ence. He will probably move to this
city early next week.
The retiring pastor stated this
morning that he sincerely regretted
leaving Pendleton, for many reasons.
He said he should have liked very
much to return TO this charge anoth-
er year, but that there were several
reasons which would not justify this
course. DR.. Ford said he was not
insensIble to the many courtesies ex-
tended TO himself and family by the
fraternal organizations and the cit!-
zens outside of his church as well as
by the members of the church.
In speaking of his successor, Dr.
Ford says he is a man of good ability,
is capable OF rendering good service
to the local church and the community
and he believes he will be well re-
ceived by the people of this congre-
cation and community.
