REV. FLANAGAN CALLED.
Mankato Boy Will Become Pastor Of a
Sioux CITY Church.

From Wednesdays Daily.
The members of the Emmanuel Bap-
fist church Sunday morning extended a
unanimous call to Prof. G.. G. Flanagan,
of Morning Side college, to become the
permanent pastor of the church. While
the call has not yet been formally con-
veyed to Mr.. Flanagan, it is understood
that he has stated his willingness to ac-
cept it.
He will at once enter upon his duties,
at the same time maintaining for the
present his position as physical director
OF Morning Side college. On June he is
expected to sever his connection with the
college and to devote all of his time and
attention to his charge.
The members of the church feel that
in selecting Prof. Flanagan for their
pastor they are not acting hastily, hav-
ing had an opportunity to become well
acquainted with him both as pastor
and man during the past six months,
while he has been temporary pastor of
the church. Immediately after the unex-
pected resignation of Rev. George Ar
NOR Fair from the pastorate half a year
ago the supply committee engaged Prof.
Flanagan as temporary pastor, in which
capacity he has since served most &C.
ceptably.
Prof. Flanagan is widely known all
through the west as one of the best
football players who ever wore Uni
versity of Chicago uniform. As center
and guard on the team of the Baptist
university he made a record which en-
titled him to the distinction, dear to any
college athlete, of being rated on the
All-Western team. 1t was his record as
an athlete that was responsible for his
coming to Sioux City in the first place
when he was chosen last March by Rev
w. S. Lewis, president of the Morning
Side college, to coach the tahletic teams
OF that institution, and take the position
of athletic director of the college.
Prof. Flanagan's connection with the
college has not been merely that of in
structor in athletics, but he has shown
himself to be a thoroughly conscientious
and capable man, and has been found a
valuable person in the councils of the
college faculty. While his reputation at
the present time rests almost entirely on
his record as an athlete, he has shown
himself to be an excellent speaker, and
has been successful while in his temper
airy pastorate.
Prof. Flanagan does not expect his
charge to conflict with his duties as coach
of the Morning Side baseball team, OF
which he will continue to have charge
He expects to spend three hours day
i'll attending to his duties at the college
until the college baseball season closes

For such we say that SCOTS
