We recently mentioned the fact
that Rev. /. L. Cory had received a
call from Brainerd to the Pilgrim Con-
grega tional church at Milwaukee. He
will assume the pastorate Dec. 18th
A Milwaukee dispatch pays the fol
lowing compliment to Mr.. Cory:
1.-The Rev. Mr. Cory is one of the
best known Congregational ministers
10 Minnesota, where he has worked
since he entered the pulpit, and al
though he is only ~ years old, he has
achieved marked success. He was
student at Oberlin college. and after
his graduation he took a theological
course at Andoyer, where he gradu-
ated in 1879. Pilgrim church has been
without pastor for six months. The
congregation took its time in making
selection, prefering to look over the
field thoroughly before extending a
call. The members are satisfied that
they did well in waiting. Mr.. Cory
comes with unusual high recommends
tions and the fact that the call was
unanimous shows the reception he
will be given. Mrs. Cory is woman
of fine culture and musician of con-
siderable ability"

it's annual ball at the city hall on the
night of Dec. 30th. The company is
having fine large hose truck made by
Jensen & Anderson, and they propose
to devote the proceeds of the dance
toward payment for this truck. Tick

posing of a large number. 1t is not
often that the business men have an
opportunity to aid the volunteer fire
department, and they should take adj
vantage of the opportunity.
