Grinnell. May 3.-Mr. John Ramsey
is again at his home in this city after
! trip of two or three months in which
he took in both expositions On the Pa
cific coast and made a somewhat
lengthy visit to Honolulu. Mr.. Ramsey
and Mr.. r. C. Ross, also of this city,
started out on this tour together and
remained together until they reached
Honolulu, when Mr Ross was recalled
home by the news of the serious illness
of his son, George r.
Bishop Homer c. Stuntz. Of the
Methodist church, comes from the Des
MONIES conference 20 give an address
in the Methodist church of this city on
Wednesday evening Of this week. He
will also speak at chapel in the college
| on Thursday morning. He is bishop
in South America and returns TO his
headquarters there soon. Mrs. Stuntz
was born in this city and lived here
until she was 9 years of age. but has
never been here since that date. She
will accompany her husband at this
time. The original plan was for both
| TO spend the entire week in Grinnell
| but the pressure of labor on the bishop
compelled a change Of plan.
Assistant Pastor Z. S. Turner, OF the
| CONGREGATIONAL church, On his return
from the conference in Pennsylvania
last week announced definitely the
severance of his relations with the
| church here and the fact shat he would
sail for the Philippines in July to take
up there his chosen work in the Young
| Mems Christian Association fellowship.
He plans to leave his work here in
about three weeks. Mr.. Turner was
not a stranger to the people here when
he was elected to the position OF as
! sistant pastor some seven months ago.
He came here from mis- native town Of
| Turner several years ago and entered
Iowa College, from which he was
graduated in the class of 1912. He then
entered the theological seminary at
Oberlin. While in college at Grlnnell
he was one Of the noted athletes and
the qualities that gave him standing
then have come into good play IN his
later aggressive Y. N. c. A. and church
work In connection with the church
here he has been living dynamo yet
his christian spirit has been such as to
greatly endear him to The membership
and cause intense ~egret at the sever
ance of relationship. In the absence
|
ston because Of his nervous break
down the place assigned to Mr. Turner
has been an exceedingly bard one to
fill and that he has filed it with I'M
usual ability is the common verdict.
