Waterloo.
The resignation of Rev. T. j. Fuller,
pastor of the Free Methodist church
in this city. from the mission which he
has held here for the past three years,
was announced Thursday. Rev. Mr..
Fuller's resignation will become effec-
tive Immediately and he will conduct
his final service on Aug. %. Rev. Mr.
Fuller occupied a unique position III
Waterloo, it being his belief that 3
minister need not exclude himself from
manual labor, but rather that the con
tact with fellow workers which sucf
labor would give him, would enlargt
his opportunities for spiritual endeavor
This belief he tested by actual labor
being at one time engaged in his trad
as barber, and later becoming {
salesman for automobiles, in both o.
which he was successful. His success
| in these lines did not hinder him in hi:
church work, fact which is demon
strated by the increase under his pas
| torate of the enrolment in the Sunda!
school from thirty to eighty, and a cor
responding increase in the church
| membership. Rev. Mr.. Fuller's resig
| nation is prompted because Of the rul
ing Of the Free Methodist church which
prevents q pastor remaining in par.
ish more than three years. His APP.
pointment to another field of work has
not yet been received.
