Resignation of Rev. c. A. Sharp.
North Mankato Methodist Episcopal
church, explained to his congrega-
ton last evening that he will not
be with them another year. Rev.
Sharp has a desire to make himself
an authority as Bible scholar and
is going to Columbia university and
Union Theological seminary, New
York city, to begin work for doc
tors degree in October next. He
hopes for study in Europe and for
further travel in Greece and Syria
later. This is a move he has been
contemplating for some time but
was not ready to announce it until
recently. He expects to make a
specially of the Greek New Tesla
ment and related subjects. He says
his desire is to win a chair in one
of the colleges or seminaries but
says that if he does not so do he
will continue to preach. The an
nOuncement came as a surprise and
disappointment to the congregation,
who expected that Rev. Sharp would
be returned to North Mankato an
other year, but his friends here are
glad to know of his aspirations and
extend their best wishes for success
The work in the charge here has
been carried toward with success.
The current expenses will have been
met in full at the close of the year
and $500 and interest has been col
lected and paid on the building debt.
Rev. Sharp and family will prob
ably leave i'm three weeks.
Rev. and Mrs w. S. Emery and
Dorothy of AmDoy have been
while attending the Mankato fair,
Rev. Emery returning to Amboy
Saturday and Mrs. Emery and Doro-
thy returning this forenoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. l.. Crane, former
residents of the village, will leave
Mankato for San Diego Wednesday
evening where they plan to make
their future home.
Maude and Blanche Gleason of
Nicollet have returned to the village
where they will make their home
with Mrs. Welsh while attending the
normal school.
George W. Fletcher still remains
in an unconscious condition the
greater part of the time and his
condition otherwise remains un-
changed.
A. L. Wheeler is recovering nicely
from his recent illness, which has
confined him to bed the past week.
He was able to be up today.
From Tuesdays Daily
1t is interesting to take notice
of the courses taken by the young
boys and girls who are completing
the grades of the North Mankato
school. Especially interested are the
members of the school board in
the careers of these young people.
Many of whom some of the men,
bers of the board have seen enter
the beginners class as babes and
finally to pass this school to enter
the high school Lately an account
was made of the number of boys
anu SnlS dJleHulDS JlS MdnkdJO
high school from North Mankato
and the number was found to De
fifty, an excellent showing These
with others attending the business
colleges and normal school, make
up bright, chirping happy stream
of humanity crossing and recross-
ing the bridge daily. Significant
of the fact that the village is not
to be the home of the ignorant.
The annual harvest home supper
will be given in the banquet room
of the Methodist church next Fri
day evening, beginning at five
o'clock. In these days of high cost
of living at good, big warm supper
for 25 cents is worth all it costs
with the labor and social thrown
in additional, but the ladies of the
church are planning to carry out
an established custom Of giving the
proposed annual feast at the same
old price as OF yOre when foodstuff
was cheaper.
