Rev, l.. P. Young, pastor of the
Lutheran congregations of Salisbury,
Greenville, Grantsville and Keim, for
the past 81 years, has rendered his
resignation. Rev. Young is taking
this action, not on account of any dis
satisfaction on his part with his present
location or his work, or on the part of
his pensioners with his ministry, but
because he was appointed district
superintendent of missions at the last
meeting OF the SYNOD of Western Penn
sylvanla. Rev. Young is greatly loved
in this vicinity. He leaves a splendid
monument of his ministry in Grants
vile, in the erection of the beautiful
new church we now worship in. The
best wishes of our people go with him
to his new field of labor.
