REV. MR. WATERS GOES TO CHICAGO

Former Ann Arbor Clergyman Called to Grace Church

LARGEST CHURCH IN WEST

Of the Episcopal Churches - Mr. Waters Was Formerly Assistant in St. Andrews

Rev. William O. Waters, formerly assistant minister in St. Andrews church in this city, who went from here to the rectorship of St. Andrew's church in Detroit, has accepted a call to Grace church in Chicago, which has the largest membership of any Episcopal church in the west and is one of the most influential churches in the country. Mr. Waters was ordained to the priesthood in this city. He trained the first vested boy of the choir in this city. It was largely due to his personal efforts that the dine new St. Andrew's church in Detroit was built. 

Mr. Waters will assume the rectorship of the Chicago church Jan 1. He will take with him as assistant rector Rev. Charles Mockridge, of St. Phillip's church, Detroit, who has addressed the congregation here and will probably be succeeded in Detroit by Rev. John C. Mockridge, of the Church of the Messiah, of that city, who is also well known in church circles here.

Mr. Waters' many friends in this city will rejoice at his deserved advancement.
