From what had been close to the
border line of a frontier congregation.
DR.. Hutchinson built up one Of the
largest in Southern Methodism and for
years maintained the record Of the
largest contribution in the church to
foreign missions.
It was the heavy demand Of civic
duties which induced Bishop Arthur J.
Moore to allow the transfer.
Or Hutchinson has too heavy load
to carry" the bishop said in announcing
the transfer. For years he has been
active in civic affairs and his popularity
has brought him more duties than he
can perform without endangering his
health. He IS far too valuable man
to sacrifice and believe it Is to the best
interest Of DR.. Hutchinson and the
church that he be transferred"

ministry nearly 80 years ago, holding
pastorate in De Walls Bluff, Ark. He
