To Laurel Field of Work
The many friends throughout this
portion cf Cass county will regret
to learn that Rev. E. H. Pontius
has been assigned to a field of work
that will take him from the chnrch
here and while the change is . in a
way a most worthy recognition of
hi3 splendid services, It cannot but
bring regret to the host of warm
friends.
The Nebraska conference of the
United Brethern church closed its
sessions on Sunday morning at Lin
coln where they have been in ses
sion for the last several days at the
Caldwell Memorial church.
The conference named Rev. E. H.
Pontius as pastor of the church at
Geneva, a fine charge and also made
him the leader of the district tri
butary to that city and which of
course makes it necessary for his re
moval to the new charge after a
residence of a number of years in
Oa?s county.
Rev. W. L. Crom was assigned to
the church at Mynard for the com
ing year. Among other assignments
made is that of Rev. T. K. Surface,
