MET TIL f NEW PASTOR.
Rev. j. w. Conley Introduced tt
His New Flock.

His New Flock.
The First Baptist church, corner of
Wacouta and Nineteenth streets, has
been without a pastor since last August
until the arrivalIn st. Paul of Rev. j.
". COnley, who comes here from Chicago
and other pastorateS in Illinois to take
charge of this church. He was in the
city some three months age and made
so favorable an impression that the eX-
ecutiye committee of the church decided
to call him to the pastorate. He ac-
cepted the call and has preached here
the last two Sundays. The gathering
at the church last night was FOR the pur-
pose of allowing the congregation, as
well as the members, to meet the new
pastor.
A warm welcome waits DR.. Conley
from his congregation, ana if he is in
elined to be superShtious as to accepting
the call that makes him the thirteenth
pastor of the First church, it is to be
hoped that the strength of his welcome
will counterbalance his fears. The list
of gifted men of whom he is the thir-
teenth are: John p. Parsons, Timothy
K. CreSsey, A. NJ. Torbet, John d. Pope.
