that which is prepared by Ma,

This delicate element, not observed

to repair and rebuild the gray matter in
the nerve centers throughout the body

the pulpit committee in selecting Rev.
George M. Morrison, of Marshall, for tine
pastorate Of the church.
The necessary form prescribed by the

Mr.. Morrison will, within few days, re-
ceive a unanimous invitation to give up
his Marshall pastorate and become Piym-
outfl's pastor.
While Mr. Sopers departure is much
regretted many of the congregation be-
lieve that in Mr.. morrison they have
man who is fully qualified to fill their
pulpit, and build the church up to posi-
ton Of prominence in the center of the
city. Mr. Morrison is comparatively
young man. and in the. short time that
he was in St. Paul made lasting i'm
preston on all the congregation with
whom he came in contact. 1t is not known
whether he will accept the call but mas
much as he will have the united support
of the congregation 1t is quite probable
that he will, and be installed as mem
