Representative Of the Lutheran
congregations at Morton, Redwood
Falls, Sheridan and Seaforth held {
conference in this city last Thurs
day. The Morton congregation has
built a house for their pastor, anc
wants to make some arrangement
. whereby they can have a permanen
pastor residing there, instead O
making visits at stated times as a
present. It appears to be conceded
I that Rev. Koch has too many
churches under his charge at pres
ent, and that sooner or later he vii
have to be relieved of the work or
j one or two charges. but the confer

opinion that Sheridan and SeafortE
will ultimately have the services O
one pastor, and Redwood Falls anc
| Morton of second.

fact that the ex-governor promised
