REV. HARPER TO LEAVE HERE.

Last week it became generally known
that Rev. VIM. 5. Harper, who for the
past three and half years has been
pastor of the Union Congregational
church here, has rendered his resigna-
ton to take effect in sixty days.
The news was received with a feeling
of regret by everyone in the community,
both members and non.members Of his
church. A more likeabe couple than
Rev. and Mrs. Harper would be bard to
find, and in the religious work Rev
Harper has made great accomplishments.
| During his pastorate here the church
has received an addition of nearly 80 per
cent in new members, the Sunday School
shows a good healthy growth and the
general attendance has greatly improy-
ed. lie is progressive and has worked
out new ideas here that have awakened
a new live interest in the church work
! from some members who were only
"iuke-warm' previously. The every
Member Canvass" method Of soliciting
subscriptions which was inaugurated
here through Rev. Harper's efforts and
management last year has proven to be
decided success, in fact, the local con.
trlbutions to the pastors salary have
practically doubled since he has been
here. Another new idea be has in
augurated is the Junior Church" some
thing unique but still practical and
which is accomplishing good.
There has never been movement for
the public good, for either improve
ments or clean amusements that has not
found Rev. Harper ready With willing
hands to assist and do what he could in
helping a good thing along.
lie worked for and greatly aided in
bringing about the unionizing of the NJ.
y. and Congregational church here. The
fine new parsonage which was erected
shorttime ago was built and completed
largely through his efforts, manual, fin
ancial and mental.
The officers of the church felt very re-
iuctahl 10 accept the resignation, how
ever they have done SO, and at the same |
time show their full appreciation for his |
efforts and extend their wishes for the
utmost prosperity to the Harper family. |
Rey. Harper informs the edit2r that
he has accepted the nastorate of the
Congregational church at Custer. beau
tiful little city in the Black Hills. His /
new congregation is to be congratulated
on their good fortune in having con
tracted with Rev. Harper. our loss is
their gain.
While the editor is not a member of
the denomination represented by Rev
Harper our relations have always been
most pleasant and we have been proud
TO call him an intimate friend and no
one regrets his leaving more than we
do, however we hope it is all for the
best and the best we eau do is to wish
the Harper family the utmost happiness
and prosperity wherever they may cast
their lot in the future Worthing IS.
