REV. WALTER E. BURNETTS
WORK is HIGHLY PRAISED
New Pastor of Foundry NJ. E. Church Comes
to Washington With Enviable Record
Among Ministers.

A record of service and achievement
that is highly appreciated by members
of his denomination is regarded by
Washington Methodists as prominent
factor in the selection by the Foundry
Methodist Church of Rev. Walter
Everett Burnett as its new pastor. He
will replace Rev. w. r. Wedderspoon,
who accepted call to Chicago last
September, and will take up his new
work here as soon as the bishops con-
cerned can arrange for the transfer.
Mr.. Burnett is at present pastor of the
Franklin Street NJ. E. Church. Johns-
town. Pa.
Born in Michigan, the new minister
apparently comes naturally by his call
ing, his father having been for twenty
seven years n member of the Detroit
conference, serving various churches
with notable efficiency. Following
five-year passionate of the Preston
Church, Detroit, Bishop John w. Ham

sion of an annual conference trans
ferred Mr.. Burnett to Bellevue Church.
Pittsburgh, his incumbency there being
described as also eminently successful.
In 1913 he was called to Johnstown
to the Franklin Street Church, where
the task awaiting him called for or

and constructive preaching. During the
last three years this congregation has

FROM TIE Ladies' Home Journal
The pastor of The church. one morn
Ing. received a call from the chairman
of his board of trustees No one ever
told the details of that interview. but
the substance of 1t was that the min
lister was told that the church would
prosper more rapidly under the minis
try Of a younger man. The pastor was
sixty years old-"too old" he was told,
to continue and hold the church to-
gether." He had served the church for
nearly forty years; had given the best
years of his life to its upbuilding and
to the ministrations of its people-he
had married its young: baptized its
children; had soothed the last hours of
those who had passed away. had laid
them to rest and had said the last
words over them. And now he was
too old to do any of these things and
q younger man must take his place.
OF course there is nothing for such a
servant of the community to do but to
accept the inevitable, and this the min
lister did. The announcement was short
ly made that .-our beloved pastor felt
compelled to relinquish his work after
nearly forty years of tireless. self-de-
nyine and successful ministry in the
church which his own efforts had built"
Then there was a farewell sermon, at
which all the women of the church
wept and the men looked at the ceiling.

given the minister and his wife. the
board of trustees made up purse

to their beloved pastor a suitably en-
crossed and illuminated address" And

lection" SO the local paper said. 1.-The

er man took his place.

an illuminated address. Oh. yes. of

coming to him. But has il ever oc-

not allow him TO ask for them. and
that. even if he does ask, they are alb
solutely inadequate for the most mod
crate support of even an old man and
his wife? And so this servant of man
ana or God went the way of hundreds
OF others of his cloth.
A little sequel to this story-it Is a
true one-is very important and very
significant. This man had youngest
son who was at college and was Just
entering the seminary to take theo-
lister like unto his father. He came
home to attend the farewell reception.
and at its close he went with his father
into his study and. throwing his arms
around his fathers neck. said: Dad.

the most brilliant scholar that Yale
had seen in three decades, and is to-
day one of the most respected and sue

States.
The church lost a man-somethine

thing else. And it will go on losing
men until the average layman wakes
up and sees the responsibility OF the
church to take care of it's old clergy
