DR.. Shippers Successor.
The pastorate of All Souls Church is re-
garded as one of the most important and
desirable In this country, especially from
the fact of its being at the national capital,
and the members of the conference are In
terested in seeing that it shall be filled by
an able and representative man. Four or
five names have been suggested, and, Wnlie
nothing definite has been done as yet, 1t Is
probable that the lot will fall to one OF
these. Two Of the best-known of these
ministers are from the far west, and they
are to be in attendance at the coming con-
ference.
They are Rev. Charles W. Wendte of
Oakland. Cal, and Rev. Joseph II. CROKER
of Helena, Mont. Mr.. Wendte is the de-
partment superintendent of the American
Unitarian Association for the Pacific coast.
He Is a man of about middle age, ana Is
regarded as one of the strongest and ableSt
members of the association. Arrangements
have been made to have him preach at All
Souls Church on two Sundays in Novem-
Der. Rev. Mr.. Croker Is 20 preach three
Sundays in December, and the chances are
that the new pastor Of the church will be
chosen by the LIST of January next.
Rev. Ida c. Hultin of Moline, ILL.,, who Is
to speak tomorrow evening on the sub1ect
Religious Development Through Intel
lectual Leadings," is one of the brightest
women ministers in the country. She Is
well known in this city through her inter-
est in the national council Of women. and
is remembered as having delivered an elo-
quent sermon en- the occasion OF Its con-
Sention in this city several years ago.
