REV. POSTILL LEAVES FOWLER

Former Remington M. E. Pastor Transfered to Attica. Several changes in pastorates in the Northwest Indiana Methodist Episcopal conference were made at a 3 meeting of the five district superintendents of the conference, held at Crawfordsville Tuesday afternoon at the home of Dr. and Mrs. W. E. McKenzie. Dr. McKenzie is superintendent of the Crawfordsville district. ■ The changes were made necessary by the recent appointments of the Rev. D. D. Hoagland, pastor of the church at Attica, and the Rev. L. S. Smith, of the Montrose church in Terre Haute, as field representatives for DePauw university in its efforts to obtain $500,000 for its endowment fund. The superintendents' appointed the Rev. C. W. Postill, now pastor of the church at Fowler, to the vacancy at Attica, and the Rev. John .G. Benson, now pastor of the Hillsboro and Waynetown churches, to the Montrose pastorate. The Rev. F. L. Hovis is transfered from Flora to the vacant pastorate at Fowler, and the Rev. J. A. Ayling is transfered from Pine Village to Flora. This leaves two vacancies to be supplied —those of the Waynetown and Hillsboro circuit and Pine Village. Bishop Moore, of Cincinnati, will be asked to transfer two ministers from some other conference to fill these vacancies. He will be requested to appoint T. F. Williams, now a student in Boston Theological seminary and

formerly of the West Washington Street church, in Indianapolis, to fill the vacancy at Waynetown and Hillsboro. This will leave the Pine Village pastorate still to be filled.
