To Procure a congregational Pastor.

~ AoSNAS - NOAl a-IAtlALaA eANNt'A-
Among the business which came be-
fore the executive board of the COngre-
Rational church of Kansas last week,
at Topeka, was the matter relative to
providing a minister for GOOdland.
They voted a pecuniary aid of $500 for
this place, providing this church would
raise $500 in addition, making a total
of $500 per year. This raises the salary
for this church considerable and the
raise was thought necessary to procure
a wide-awake pastor for GOOdland, as
it has proved difficult to maintain a
pastorate here for any length of time.
