 A church meeting was called yester- day noon in the Grand avenue Congre- gationaI church to act upon the recom- mendation of the pastoral committee to call a pastor. The committee, before large congregation, recommended the calling of Rev. Isiaah W. Sheath, now of Franklin, Mass. The committee gave a synopsis of pr. Sneath's life as far as able to obtain from outside parties and upon calling for vote it was the unanimous sentiment of the meeting to | call him. A meeting of the Ecclesiasti- cal society is called for Tuesday even | ing to ratify the action taken by the church and no doubt the call will be extended to Dr. Sheath early in the week.
