conclusion of his sermon Sunday |
morning, Rev. w. L. Lingle announced
to his congregation that he has re-
csived and has under consideration a |
call to the pastorate Of the First Pres |
byterian church in Houston, Texas.
The call is a fiattering one In every |
respect. Those who are informed on
such matters say that the church is
one of the largest and most powerfully
in that section, and no doubt an in
valuable opportunity Is offered a true
man Of God to do a great work. Mr.. |
Lingle, as Is we'll known, is deeply at |
tached to his people here as well as
to all Of his environments, and he says |
that he will be slow to accept any |
work that will take him away from
Rock Hill, unless he clearly sees 1t
as a call from God. Mr.. Lingle will
attend the meeting of presbytery at
Winnsboro during the latter part Of
