WHEN REV. MIR. JUMP LEFT 0AkLANDS ,CAL.
Church and Press Unite in Mourn
 ing at His Departure

the occasion of, his leaving the First Congregational church in Redlands,. California. The entire community ] grieved at his departure and the oc- l casion was made one of special ob- 1 servance in the church. The fol- l lowing account of his last day as l pastor of the church is taken from Redlands newspapers:
 i Rev. and Mrs. Herbert A. Jump to- l day bade farewell to Redlands and the
 profound and sincere regret of en- l tire community at the loss sustained l by it in their departure was eloquently
 expressed by the presence of repre- sentative assemblage at the Santa Fe l station, where at 9 o'clock this after noon the gifted clergyman, loyal citi- l zen and broadgauged man, and the 1 wife who has been his faithful as- 1 sistant, severed the ties that bound l them to a city whose esteem they gained by the service they rendered it.
 The versatility of the man, whose de- parture is the cause of universal re- gret, was indicated by the many de- partments of the citys life represent ed in the gatherings of friends who said a reluctant goodbye to MT. Jump
 In the Chamber of Commerce, in the
 Associated Charities, in the Child Well
 
 such as the Masons and Odd Fellows,
 he was an active figure, and all of these had members at the railroad station to have a last word with their fellow worker.
 An effort to give the day of farewell services a larger meaning than the inevitable one of sorrow was made at the First Congregational church yes- terday. OnD cember 7, 1913, Rev. and Mrs. Jump came to Redlands, and the minister began his services as pastorate of the local church. In the interval bonds of esteem, admiration and affection have knit the members of the congregation to the man who was their leader.
 "The Divine Companion" was the subject of the sermon preached by MT. Jump at the farewell service yes- terday morning. Possibly the most effective and affecting talk by the ! minister on his last Sunday with the | Redlands church was that on Mem l ory, the Thing That Has Hooks," which was addressed to the children 1 of the congregation.
 My memory" said MT. Jump to his l youthful audience, "has such hooks to 1 hold me fast to Redlands-the city, l the church and the boys and girls. l When you hear the church clock strike 1 remember me, and what I told you, | that we need to wind up our life once | a week by going to cnurch.''
 Farewell services were held in the l morning by the senior and primary l departments of the Sunday school, the 1 latter presenting a pretty gold locket 1 as a gift to MT. and Mrs. Jumps lit tie girl, a year and half old, who was born in Redlands.
 A business session was held by the after the morning church service, George Durham, chairman of the trustees presiding, and Prof. George Robertson, chairman of the board of deacons, presented resolu- tions which were adopted to give of fcial expression at the departure of their pastor. In his response Mr. Jump manifested great feeling.
 In the afternoon MT. Jump repeated his California lecture illustrated by i the remarkable collection of views made by Russell Lord-Word, who op- erated the stereopticon machine dur ng the lecture. Altogether, more han 1000 Redlands people have heard the lecture.
 A farewell service was conducted in 1 the afternoon by the Christian En- deavor society of the church. At the reception in the morning practically every member of congregation said 8 word of farewell to MT. and Mrs. Jump.
 Mr. and Mrs. Jump go directly from Redlands to Chicago. They will visit with relatives at Evanston and then l proceed to Oberlin, where they are to remain week. Mrs Jump will at Q r0r,Oo oly~ college, her alma mater and MT. Jump IS to be at Amherst for the reunion of his class, which graduated from that institution twenty years ago.
 They will be in Somerville, Mass, Tor time, and pass the greater part or the summer on the Maine coast.
 The Resolutions
 The resolutions, the acceptance of which was moved by Prof. T. E. N. Eaton, and which were signed by l Ephraim Tucker, church clerk; H. c. Emm, clerk of the church board, and George Robertson, chairman of the board of deacons, follow:
 1nasmuch as the Rev. Herbert A. ] Jump our beloved pastor, is about to leave us and to return to the east, we the members of the church, can- not allow the opportunity to pass with out expressing our keen sense of loss at his departure from us and at the same time, without declaring our grateful appreciation of the valuable work he has done for our church, city and denomination.
 During his two and a half years of pastoral service with us he has made many appreciative friends. His re- sourceful ministry ever possessed an interest in the aged, lov- ing kindness for the sick and lonely, and happy concern for the veal of l little children. The poor and needy
