RESIGNS POSITION
Kew. h. |. Grain Tenders His ReSig.
nation as Pastor OF
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Same to Take Effect April FIrSt-GOeS to
Frankfort, Indiana

1t is with much regret that the citi-
zens OF Alma learn OF the resignation
OF Rev. II. l.. Grain from his pastorate
with the local Presbyterian church.
He has accepted a call to a new field,
that OF Frankfort, Ind. This town is
beautifully situated, has population
OF nearly ten thousand people. The
church has a membership of 563 and
is the largest church in the Presby-
terry, and one OF the most prominent
in the Synod
This call came 70 Mr. Grain un-
sought and uncourted, and he held it
for some time before he accepted
Mr.. Grain has no desire to leave Alma
but when the opportunity came for
such an excellent change he deemed
it advisable.
A congregational meeting will be
held on February % to act on his
resignation. 1t is the intention of
Rev. and Mrs. Grain TO leave April
the first for two reasons: first be-
cause he wishes to remain in the local
church until the end OF the fiscal
year, and, second. it is more oppor-
tune time 10 resign the offices held
by him in the Presbytery. where he
is stated clerk, treasurer and chair
man OF the Board of Trustees.
The church to which Mr. Grain
goes supports a pastor in Persia, and
has a mission in the city 1t is in
every way very prosperous church.
His pastorate here OF over three
years has been one OF great helpful
ness to the church, both spiritually
and materially At the present time
the church is more thoroughly and
efficiently organized for its work than
il ever has been before.
Much money has been spent in
making improvements to church prop
dirty, including the recarpeting OF the
church throughout, new hymnals, in
dividual communion sets, and the
purchase Of fine property on State
street for the use of the pastor and
membership during Mr. Grains pas
torate, the church has been brought
into closer touch with the social and
business life of the community. And
in consequence is able TO do it better
service. In all these phases of work
and splendid progress, Mr.. Grain has
been very forceful and inspiring
leader He is genial, has a strong
desire and willingness 10 help all who
in any way make it possible for him
TO do so. He is A never-tiring worker,
always ready to take hold of the
hardest tasks if by so doing he could
help the church and the community
AS a preacher. Mr. Grain is excep-
tionally strong He is an extempor-
aneous speaker of force and power
His preaching makes the Christian
life reality He is a quick, keen
thinker with a splendid vocabulary,
these qualities combined in one man
as they are in him cannot help but
make strong pulpit orator.
Although the people of his congre-
cation are sorry to have him leave
Alma, they are glad 10 know that he
is going to larger field OF service,
and wish him continuance of the
success that has been his while in
Alma.
