Dr. Wade has been district superintendent of your pastor three different times and knows as well as any man living the character of his work. He well knows the fervent love of your pastor for the work of the ministry of Jesus Christ; he knew that ten years ago your pastor had refused to become Held secretary of Depauw university. He therefore approached the subject very cautiously when he desired to secure him to take up the endowment work. The argument Is: The future of Indiana Methodism and the welfare of generations unborn demand a great progressive, Christian university. The opportunity to guarantee such a university is offered and accepted. The money must be raised; It must be raised in time; to raise it the university must have the men. Some men and churches must make the sacrifice. I was greatly surprised and overwhelmed by the call. My whole heart's love for the regular work of the ministry was arrayed against it. My feelings rebelled, but the argument is compelling, irresistable, commanding. Our superintendent, Brother Beatty, having furnished one good man in Brother Myers, was greatly tried that he should be asked to furnish another out of his district. He greatly hesitated, almost rebelled, protested vigorously, but finally yielded to the irresistible argument and consented to release your pastor. The emergency is great. Every day that passes is one day less before January 1, 1912. Nearly SI,OOO per daymust be raised. The emergency is so great that the demand is imperative that the ministers take up the work immediately. Hence your superintendent has consented to release your pastor on next Sunday, January 15th. I greatly desired more time to close my work and to enjoy the revival season with you, but the emergency is such that it would be impossible for me to finish the revival meeting, hence it was thought best that a new pastor be secured to begin it. Your pastor is not making this change on account of any dissatisfaction with his charge. Down through the years he will ca. :y the memory of loyal and loving support on the part of faithful brothers and sisters in a unique pastorate with more than ordinary cares. Their loyalty and kindness will be a great strength to him in the coming years of his ministry and he now tenders to them his heartfelt thanks and appreciation, and sincerely sings: “Blest be the tie that hinds Our hearts in Christian love.” We have greatly appreciated our beautiful home, beautiful for us under the direction of a competent and affectionate committee, by a faithful and thoughtful board of trustees. We never expect to have a better home until we get to heaven. Neither are we going for the greater

| pecuniary gain—lt will not be such to. ! us. We are stepping out of a work we dearly love into a harder work anu humbler home for our Master's sake and we expect to return to the regular work of tbe ministry In April, 1912 ] Otherwise we would not consent to take this step. If this was a surprise to you, it was just as great to us. Do not tblnk, , beloved, that your Interests have been I forgotten. Everything has been t weighed. If any heart should feel . ) grieved we shall be glad in private ,i to explain the whole situation more

; fully and feel confident that all will feel that this Is God's call to other I service. We did not ask it, we did not even think of It; it must be of ;God. We bow to hls will and trust | Him, “who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think according to the power that worketh In us.” While the congregation feels that the Rev. Powell, who is a most earnest and untiring worker, is just the right man for the new work, the regret felt over his leaving the local church is exceedingly great. During his little less than two years' service here, he has been ceaselessly and untiringly engaged in the worn of the Master, and not a more earnest minister in the state could be found than he. In fact, the selection of Rev. Powell for the new work is itself recognition of his great ability. The family will probably make their home at Greencastle, though plans for their removal are not yet completed. Rev, Powell will leave next Monday for Indianapolis to confer with the endowment secretary, Dr. C. U. Wade, and assistants. The official board of the church will meet Tuesday evening at the church with the district superintendent, the j Rev. J. A. Beatty, of Fort Wayne, to which time arrangements for the securing of a minister to serve the remainder of the conference year which expires in April, after which a minister will be regularly appointed by the conference. ■ ■ o EXECUTRIX SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY.
