REV. JEWELL GIVEN
FINE APPOINTMENT
Rector of Good Samaritan
Church Named Arch Dea-
con Minnesota Diocese
WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT
Will Leave About June First
Family Have Made Many
Friends in Community

There is a strong probability that
Sank Centre will lose Rev. Earle
B. Jewell, the brilliant young rec
tor of the Good Samaritan Episco-
pal Church.
Rev. Jewell came to this city
from Paynesville about a year and
half ago and has built up a splen-
did membership in his church and
has the universal respect of the en-
tire community.
Since he came to Sank Centre
Rev. Jewell has turned down no
less than seven calls from churches,
including one at Minot, N. D., and
another from a large church in St.
Louis.
Wednesday of this week Rev.
Jewell received a letter from Bish-
op McElwain, of the Minnesota
diocese Gall that part of Minnesota
east and west and south of St.
Cloud, portion which reads as
follows:
The directorate have nomi-
mated you to me today for ap-
pointment as Arch Deacon
general missionary. Acting
on the special committee both
in the committee and in the
Directorate, the vote was unani-
nous. gladly offer you the
appointment.
The procedure in this appoint
ment is first for a special commit
tee made up of clergymen and lay
men to select a list of rectors
whom they recommended to the Di-
rectorate made up of nine clergy
men and nine laymen. Some of the
clergy on the Directorate are: DR..
Osgood, St. Marks, Minneapolis;
DR.. Knickerbocker, st. PauPs,
Minneapolis; DR.. Butler, st. Johns
Evangelist, st. Paul; Rev. Mr.. At
water, st. Paul; Rev. Mr.. Dew
hurst, Saltwater; Rev. Mr.. Geer.
Minneapolis; Rev. Mr.. Baxter, st.
Peter, and Rev. Mr.. Zoubek, st.
! Paul.
Rev. Jewell has been summoned
to meet with Bishop McElwain, at
Minneapolis, Monday of next week.
Although he has been in Sank
Centre a comparatively short time
Rev. Jewell has often stated to the
Herald editor that both he and Mrs.
Jewell enjoyed their affiliations in
this city to a greater degree than
any other place where they had
resided.
de is 10th to break the ties, but
the appointment of Arch Deacon is
such a splendid promotion that the
Herald does not see how Rev. Jew
ell can afford to turn it down, as
much as we hate to see him leave
Sank Centre.
| If he accepts the appointment he
will reside at Fairbault. i1e will
have direct charge of the depend
ent missions and churches in the
diocese, 80 in number, who are
without pastors, and it will be his
duty to see that arrangements are
made to have regular services, US
ing students from the Seabury
Divinity School, Fairbault, to sup
ply in these places.
In an interview with the Herald
editor last evening Rev. Jewell
stated that in case he accepts the
appointment he will not leave Sank
Centre until he has cleaned up the
years work in the Good Samaritan
parish in a manner that will be
satisfactory to his people, Bishop
Bennett, and himself.
In any case he will not leave
Sank Centre before June 1, 1880.
If Rev. Jewels decids to accept the
appointment of Arch Deacon he
and his excellent wife will take the
! best wishes of the entire commu-
nifty with them to their new home.
