A USEFUL CITIZEN.:
The Rev. JJr.'rk _Rumball
1>�a , who
has been for;over-•thirty years minis-
ter of the Piesbyternan .church at
Morden, Man.,' has placed his resigna-
tion in the hands of the session and
is leaving Morden shortly.
From the Morden "Times we learn
that, Dr, Rumball was . not : only a
faithful pastor to his flock but also
took an active interest in the town.
His •e i pati apresident

Hospital Board, the\ latter position
having been held for sixteen years,
was in each ease received with regret.
The hospital' board presented Dr.
Runsball with an appreciative address
and an easy chair, as a token'of their
esteem. '
Dr. Rumbalil and his church both
went into Union and it was heir' wish
that he. remain as pastor but he de-
cided to resign. His -wife died 'dur-
ing the past year and as his family
are all away, he was left' alone in

•Dr.Runhball is known to many of
our readers, being an old Goderieh
township :boy. He is a brother of
Miss G. Rumball and Mrs. 'J. Ford
and Mrs. W. Pickard of town.
