Pastor Warren Babcock Resigns After fourteen years of pastoring the Pilgrim Holiness Church of Pierrepont Manor, the Rev. Warren Babcock resigned bis pulpit on Sunday morning, June 30. The Rev. Babcock is to assume the pastorate of the Home Missionary work of the New York Conference in Stone Ridge, N.Y., near Kingston, as soon as arrangements-are completed for his transfer there. After completing his studies with Eastern Pilgrim College, Allen- town, Pa., and God's Bible College, Cinncinnati, Ohio, the Pastor was ordainted to the ministry in July 1969. He came to Pierrepont Manor in July 1971 from Amsterdam after pastoring the Pilgrim Holiness Church there for six years. While there, the Rev. Babcock saw the remodeling and addition to both the church and parsonage. Under his ad- ministration of the Pierrepont Manor pastorate, an addition and remodeling were undertaken to the church on Wilder Road in 1972. In 1973, the church congregation purchased a new parsonage on Wilder Road, moving from the Wardwell Settlement Rodad property. In May 1976, ground was broken for a new church building and educational facilities on Route 11, after the church acquired property adjoining their present parsonage property. The new church was moved into in December 1978. The indebtedness of the church will be retired this October, a year earlier than planned. When the Rev. Babcock leaves the Pierrepont Manor area, he is also concluding, after over nineteen years, the \Voice of Holiness\ radio broadcast, heard over station WSCP in Pulaski on Sunday mornings.

Without the caring and cooperation of several members of the Parish who worked long hours in preparing for and conducting activities at the \St. James Button Heaven\ booth, the proceeds of the mid-summer event would not have gone for the support of the Church. This is the first year that St. James Episcopal Church, in Pulaski, has had a fund-raising booth at the Pulaski Firemen's Field Days.
