Will Receive a Call.

The Free street Baptist church of this
city, it is understood, intend to extend i'm
mediately, call to Rev. b. l.. Whitman of
Newton, Mass, who supplied the pulpit last
Sunday to great acceptance. Mr.. Whitman
Is recent graduate of Newton Theological
Seminary and acquired his education with
view to foreign missionary work, but ow-
ing to the illness of his wife, has been
obliged to abandon his plans for work where
he may be called in this country. Mr. Whit
man appears to have some qualities which
go far toward success in the ministry in
these days, viz: a fine presence, good voice
and excellent social qualities. Should he
decide to accept the call which he will un-
doubleday receive, it is fair to presume he
will take high rank among the clergymen
of this city
