Rev Jacob Wirth of Wilton Steps Out of Ministry
At the Illinois annual conference Rev Jacob Wirth requested placement on the superannuated list after 43 years in active ministry. He was licensed to reach Illinois in 1878 and elder since 1870, aged 40 in 1921. Bishop Spreng expressed sympathy and urged young men to enter the gospel ministry as ministers and laymen discussed status and future of superannuated clergy. The conference re-elected presiding elders in Waterloo, Cedar Falls, and Des Moines districts and planned an address on preaching by Dr A E Hangen.
