cepting the call extended him by the
Presbyterian church Of TeXarkana which
is on the line between Texas and Ar
kansas. The church 10 which Mir. Well
ford has been called for the fourth time
is on the Texas side OF the line, but
about half of the congregation comes
from the Arkansas side. II is rather re-
markable that Mr.. Wexford should re-
ceive such an urgent call 20 this church,
as he knows only one person in mat
city The church IS in the Presbytery OF
Paris, synod of Texas. and the Paris
Presbytery meets April 2lst. Mr.. Well
ford has been invited 20 preach 10 the
congregation before that date and then
attend the presbytery IN order 10 get q
better insight into the church conditions
existing in that section Of the country
Ii is understood that the preacher has
been offered fiatterng salary. tie Is as
yet undecided as 10 whether or not ne VIII
accept the call. but il is likely that ne
will preach TO the congregation as desired.
Rev. Mr. Wexford has been here about
seven years. and in that time has accom-
plished remarkable results. His congre-
CATION at first numbered half a hundred
persons. Now 1t numbers nearly 400. a
handsome new church is to be erected
within the next few months and VIII have
the effect of increasing both the attend
ance and membership.
