is too great a load to carry, Rev. Karl
Rest handed in his resignation as su-
perintendent. The society refused to
accept it, and the board was authorized
to look for new man, either for the

TO remain az superintendent. He feels
ne can not do Justice to both. Mr. Rest

lieve Sister Sophia Hubeli in her work.
