cept He recently went ito Youngs-
town to look over the field and is very
favorably impressed with the outlook
and the church there. The field and
church are both much larger than those

is almost twice as much as his present
charge pays.
Rev. Lindvall has also received a
call from the church at Deep River,
Conn.,, and from the one at Newbury
Mich. He is not seriously considering
either of the latter, however. Rev.
Lindvall left this morning for Denver,
Col, to attend the Augustana synod of

absent about Two weeks, and before he
left he said he would not accept or re-
