NEW PASTOR FOR TWIN FALLS
Rev. A. F. Randall Will Fill the Episcopal Pulpit
Ref. A. F. Randall of Newton, Kan., has been appointed by Bishop Funsten of the Episcopal church as clergyman in charge of Shoshone, Minidoka and Twin Falls. He will reside at American Falls, coming here every third Sunday in the month. That Mr. Randall was popular and successful in his Kansas pastorate is shown by the following from the Newton (Kan.) Evening Republican:
The vestry of St. Matthews parish met last evening to act upon the resignation of Rev. A. F. Randall, who has accepted a position out west. While the gentlemen regretted to do so the resignation was accepted and plans were made for going on with the services commencing next Sunday as had been planned with J. R. Duff as reader.
Mr. Randall's brother will ship the household goods, so that Newton people will not have the pleasure of again seeing Mr. Randall or his mother. The community as well as the church regrets the departure of Rev. Randall, who has proven himself a genial friend as well as a capable leader. St. Matthews parish has flourished under his guidance. Most satisfactory improvements have been made upon the church edifice, the financial condition was of the best and the congregation was working in the utmost harmony. The circumstances attending the later call were so favorable, however, that they fell Rev. Randall fully justified in accepting it.
