Rev. Edward X. Hardin
Declines College Offer

The Rev Edward X. Hardin, pastor of
Mt. Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal
Church. South. has Just written the
head Of one Of the leading colleges of
the South, declining a tempting offer
which was extended to the Washington
minister to take the chair Of Biblical
literature in the college in question.
The offer. which was the second of its
Kind to come to Mr.. Hardin since his
assignment to the pastorate of Mt. Ver-
non Place Church some eighteen months
ago. was given careful consideration,
but 1t was his conclusion that the field
OF the active pastorate was the better
one for his efforts, and this, even at
some sacrifice from the financial point
Of view, was the field finally chosen.
The congregation Of Mt. Vernon Place
Church is much pleased that Mr. Hardin
has reached decision which will permit
MIN to remain In charge OF the church
until the conference assigns him to
other work.
