REV. CURNICK PRAISES CITY BEFORE LEAVING

Popular Minister Will Leave Monday For Indianapolis With Family to Take New Position. ' To the Editor of The Republican, Dear Siri ■- ■ •- — I wish to express through the columns of your paper my personal appreciation of all the kindness received by me and my family from the good people of Rensselaer since our coming here to reside three years ago. The little city of Rensselaer is one of the most beautiful towns of the state and the people are as fine ja lot of people of we have ever met. While we have lived in larger cities, such as Cincinnati, Detroit, South Bend and

Terre Haute, yet in many ways we have enjoyed living in Rensselaer fully as much aS any othe/place/ The churches and schools are of high grade and merit; the stores are way above the average for a county seat and the people are intelligent, cordial and hospitable. As pastor of Trinity Methodist church for three years I have worked with a splendid body of (Methodists and have only deepest feelings of love for the dear old church and its six hundred members. In moving to Indianapolis we will'not forget Rensselaer and hope Rensselaer will not forget us. The new pastor, Rev. E. W. Strpcker and his family are worthy in every way of the love and confidence of the community. We will be glad to sec any of our .Rensselaer friends in our new~hOmeT~ Praying God’s blessing upon dear old Rensselaer and its good people, I beg to remain, — r" Yours very truly,—

PAUL C. CURNICK.
