Several years ago a deacon of a country church near Columbia, took down the receiver of his party Jine and heard a young woman's aroice say: "I am coming down on the next train to see you about the vacant pastorate of your church." "Do you know of a preacher who wants it?" he asked. "I want it," was the reply. "What? A woman preacher!" the deacon gasped. Then he added: "It's no use for you to come. The monilKirs novpp wnnlrt stanrl fnr I I) ui r) )y u-J Or 1 UUu UULJ On account of ill health, I will sell at public auction at my resi in one of the most conservative communities in the state.

On the first Sunday in October Mrs. Thimble will become virtually a part of the Kansas City ministry, the only woman to ever occupy such a position. She will take charge of the Christian church at Merriam, a new church which is trying out many interesting experiments on the community plan. To her it will be a homecoming, having been reared and educated in this city, attending the Central high school, and having been active in church work here. She.

is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Stout, 3222 Lockridge street.

Her husband, the Rev. Nelson H. Trimble, also is a pastor but for the last two years 'has been engaged in Chautauqua work. A brother, Arthur Stout, also is a minister. Graduated With Highest Honors.

Although preaching every Sunday and looking after a small daughter, Mrs. Trimble was able to do such work in the university that she was graduated with highest honors, making the Bhi Beta Kappa honor fraternity. She also was active in university life, especially affairs which concerned women. is the only woman graduate of the university so far who has become a preacher. "College women can enter no better profession than the ministry, provided they are fitted for it," says Mrs.

Trimble. "And the time rapidly is approaching when the idea of a woman preacher will not excite the slightest surprise. Just now it takes a rather wideawake community to consent to one. Women are especially fitted for pastoral work and there is no reason why they shouldn't preach as well as men. We have successful women lecturers and social workers.

Why not women preachers?" Mr. and Mrs. Trimble will make their headquarters in Merriam. Mr. Trimble's work keeps him on the road much of the time.

A special tutor will be engaged for Elizabeth Faye, a lively 4-year-old daughter. Has Trained Teacher for Child. Mrs. Trimble, unlike most moth skirts in the pulpit." The next time the young university student, who was Mrs. Martha Stout Trimble, a Kansas City girl, heard of a vacant country church pastorate, she didn't use the telephone.

And the next country church deacon was confronted with a pretty and persistent golden-haired young woman who was so feminine" looking and persuasive that he couldn't refuse her in her request for a tryout in the pulpit the next Sunday. Made Good With First Tryout. After the first tryout Mrs. Trimble never lacked for a pulpit in which to spend her Sundays during her four years of University life.
