At last the First Baptist church has
found pastor. The good people OF the
church have waited for a good many
months, but in the man they have at
last as good as secured they will be
more than repaid for their long time Of
waiting.
Uncle Boston Smith. an absolute au-
thOrity on all matters pertaining to the
Baptist church. states that he received
a letter from q very prominent minister
in Philadelphia. and very close friend
of DR.. Wayiand HOyt, stating that DR..
HoYt had told him that he would con-
sent 10 his name being proposed as
church of Minneapolis. This is
as direct a statement as if
Dr. HOyt had himself telegraphed his
acceptance TO the church itself In fact.
II is probable that he has telegraDhed 10
the pulpit committee Of the church CIV
ing them permission 70 Use his name to
20 before the church as one 10 be con-
sIdered for the pastor OF the church.
Such q telegram was expected yeSter-
Gay. ana was in all probability received.
IN TINS event. the pulpit committee viii
next thursday evening present DI.
HOyt's name TO the church. with a
recommendation that he be made their
minister. There Is not a member OF
First church but is enthusiastically in
favor OF Dr.. Hoyt Tor the position. and
he would be made pastor iii the shortest
possible time after his consent was
made known.
DIR. uoyt came TO Minneapolis last
summer Tor his health. and at that time
made the acquaintance OF many OF the
members and filed the pulpit several
Sundays. IL WAS proposed TO him at
that time that he become pastor OF the
church. and slice that time his name
has been first for the paStOrShip OF the
church.
Several prominent members OF the
church We're seen yesterday, and while
they stated that the pulpit committee
had not yet officially received consent
TO put UT. HOyt'S name before the
church, they admitted that probably
such consent had been made by the doc
TOT. They ali said that there was no
doubt but that he would be made pastor
If he gave his consent.
This Is as great triumph for the First
Baptist church as the securing OF DT.
Tiffany is Tor the Hennepin Avenue Nj.
+. church. He stands as one of the
great men OF the Baptist church in the
United States.
1t Is said that if DR.. HOyt comes to the
First church in Minneapolis he Will
come at q very considerable financial
sacrifice. he Is now in receipt OF an in
come from Memorial church. in Phila-
deiphia, OF 5000 a year. Besides
this he receives q considerable
income from writing for religions
in, rsI-
Tie First Baptist church of Alinneap-
oils can only offer him 5000 a year.
Air. HOyt has said that he looked upon
these two cities as an entrance 10 a new
empire, especially since the entrance Of
the new states to the Union. and that
he looked upon the pulpit of the First
Baptist church as the test in all the
sand. Ii he comes u est il is his idea to
make his passionate Of First Baptist
church the browning of his LIES work.
and that church will be blessed with a
permanent and thoroughly efficient
clergyman.
