REV. FOSTERS

Pastor Of the United Presbyterian
Church Gives Notice That He
VIII Seek Another
NO DEFINITE PLANS
Has Worked In This Field Eight ans

Change TO Another
4 Location.

at the United Presbyterian church
SUNDAY Rev. Harry B. Foster made
surprising announcement from his pull
pit when he said that he had been on
the field in Keokuk for about eight
years and half and felt that his
best work had been accomplished
here, and that in the very near future
he had planned to seek new field,
feeling that 1t was better for him md
for the congregation.
Rev. Foster came to Keokuk the
first of September, 1904, about a
month before Billy Sundays famous
tabernacle revival in Keolsuk. The
presence CT Billy Sunday in this city
hurried Rev. Foster to this field as he
felt that such an occasion would be
good time to get in early touch with
the religious feeling Of the city. So
he arose from a bed OF illness, from
an operation for appendicitis in the
east and came on to Keokul1 when he
should have remained at rest for at
least another month.
Ele Is yet a young man with big
world before him and much to be ac-
! ccmplished in the line in which he is
working ably, earnestly and fnds-
triously. He is a native of our neigh
boring state Of Illinois, yet his first
charge was at Lowell, Mass, where
he labored faithfully and well for
three years and from there accepted
4 the call from the Keo,1uk church and
his good work here is an open book
At all times modest and unassumlng
there is christian aggressiyeness in
him which brings practical success
AT tie women's Missionary meeting
held at his church Saturday afternoon
composed Of all the women's mission
iary societies Of the various churches
the society of his church was the sec
ond largest contributor. although TIM
largest contributor has double the rol
,Eof membership, while thct larges
olcontributcr gave only about fifty pc
ICent more than the United Presbyter
ian women. This is merely an Incl
4 dent to show the spirit of congre
cation over which he has presided 70
eight and half years.

Miss Elsie Buck, Miss Laura Alton
and Miss Martha Baldwin The plan
for the community Christmas tree as
outlined at the meeting is that it
shall be large evergreen or fir tree
set in an open square and lighted with
electricity. The tree is not to be for
the enjoyment of Gale class of citi.
zens more than another but it shall
be for all the city, young and old.
Because of the many church enter
tainments on Christmas eve it was de-
cided that the tree shall be lighted on
Christmas day-at nightfall and that
there shall be Christmas songs and 1t
is believed that all the people will be
glad to come together in this way as
one great family. In some cities it Is
planned to have groups of children go
from one street to another and where
ever candle is placed in the window
the children shall sing a Christmas
song. This Is a revival of the old
English custom. With the co-opera-
ton of Professor Hayden. it is hoped
that later in the evening the school
children In their own wards can do
this for the benefit of those who are
Ill or too old to hear the Christmas
songs at the tree.
