REV. WINN TO LEAVE CITY.

Popular Pastor of Christian Church Te::*!«rcc His Resignation a Kev, Weeks Ago. Rev. W. G. Winn, who hag been pastor of the Christian ehurah of Rensselaer since September, 1911, and one of the ablest ministers of the gospel ever located_here, recently tendered his resignation to the church board, but the matter was not to be made public until some

time later. In some way, however, the fact of his having tendered his resignation became known to a few people outside of the church board, and Rev. Winn, therefore, decided to make a statement of the matter from his pulpit, and did so Sunday morning. | Xo definite time-is set for the taking effect of the resignation, but it is understood that it will not be until he has decided upon another location. It is also understood that he has two locations in view, one in Chicago and another in one of the southern states. • He will probably accept the Chicago charge. Rev. Winn apd family have made a host of friends since they have resided in Rensselaer wiho will regret very much to learn of their contemplated departure. The family also are much attached to this city, but the opportunities open to him elsewhere are probably better than he could possibly hope for here. It is probable that the date for the taking of effeet of his resignation will be announced soon.
