heavily burdened with debt and with
a dwindling membership. Undaunted
he set to work with energy and the
condition of the church today is the
strongest tribute to his abilities as

another debt. There have been 1875
additions to the church since his in

been made to the church building and
there has been more life and entnu-
siasm in the congregation than has
been evidenced in years These state
ments are made upon the authority OF
the officers of the church who have
been loyal to their pastor and given
him every support during his whole
administration. So earnest and un-
firing has he been in his work to build
up the church that the congregation
feels a great sense Of loss In his res
Ignation.

to leave yesterday, several of the
leading members of the church arose
