REV. Mr.. SWEENEY MAY COME.
Central Christian Church Hopeful of
Securing His Services.

The Central Christian Church congrega-
ton is still hopeful of securing Rev. z. T.
Sweeney, of Columbus, as their pastor. A
committee consisting OF howard Gale, Fred
Carvin and Charles Whitsett went to CO.
lumbus to press upon him the call, and
returned encouraged il, the belief that he
would accept if his family will consent to
leave Columbus. Mrs. Sweeney is the only
child of j. l. Irwin, Il wealthy resident
there, who is closely identified with the
city, and whose wishe=. it is said, will
largely determine Mr.. Sweeney's course.
Mr.. Sweeney'S relations with his congre-
cation are of the most pleasant kind, and
there would be much opposition from his
own people to his leaving Columbus The
committee say they have no other pastor
in contempla ton.
