CLOSES
HIS
MINISTRY
Rev.
C.

Concludes
Work
at
Rupert
East
United
Church
Rev.
Charles
E.
Motte
closed
his
ministry
of
the
Rupert
East
United
Church
yesterday.
Last
year,
owing
to
the
financial
situation
arising
from
conditions
on
the
prairie
pro
vinces,
all
mission
cnarges
oi
me
United
Church
elsewhere
were
called
upon
to
assume
greatei
I'
mn-
clal
responsibility
towards
lhe'.r
own
support.
Rupert
East
was
one
of
the
charges
which
had
their
responsibility
considerably
Increased.
Recently,
the
prevailing
local
economic
situation
caused
the
congregation
to
reconsider
its
financial
position.
At
a
meeting
of
the
congregation
held
some
time
ago,
It
was
decided
to
request
the
Home
Mission
Board
to
bring
the
congregation
under
the
supervision
and
charge
of
the
minister
of
the
First
United
Church.
This
has
been
a'greed
to,
and
tne
new
arrange-jment
comes
into
effect
on
July
1.
Mr.
Motte
Is
without
a

meantime,
and
may
be
