POPULAR PASTOR
MAY MOVE EAST
REV. WILLIAM H. DAY IS THE
CENTRAL FIGURE
Rumor Says That Head Of First Con-
gregatlonal Church Of Los
Angeles Is Called
Elsewhere


credence in church circles that the
First Congregational church stands in
danger Of losing its beloved pastor,
Rev. William Horace Day. A large
eastern church has extended a call to
Rev. Mr.. Day, and, although the name
or location of the church is a secret
which only Rev. Mr.. Day and family
know. there Is a large likelihood that
the prominent Los Angeles divine may
go east.
During his residence of six years in
Los Angeles Rev. Mr.. Day has been
extended tempting calls from the east,
with largely increased salary but these
he has steadfastly refused, saying that
his work lay in the local church. 1t is
understood 1t would be Rev. Mr. Days
preference to remain in Los Angeles
but that the work of the eastern
church is in such a condition that it
would give him a large field to ad-
vance the work of the church.
1t is probable that If Rev. Mr.. Day
accepts the eastern call the First
church will not only lose it's pastor but
also Rev. Warren +. Day, the pastor
emeritus, who would doubtless not wish
to again take up the duties OF the
pastorate of so large a church.
Yesterday marked the twelfth ami
versary of the pastorate of Rev. DR..
Day, and six years ago his son came
to act as a co-pastor with him, and
since that time father and son have
worked faithfully for the upbuilding
of the church. The old church prop
erty, corner of Sixth and Hill streets,
was sold and the present fine edifice
on Hope street erected. For the past
three years Rev. William Horace Day
has been pastor of the church, while
his father has acted as pastor emeri-
tus. During the absence of Rev. Mr..
Day in the orient DIR. Day had entire
charge of the church work.
The decision of Rev. Mr.. Day will
doubtless be announced at the morn
ing service tomorrow.
Rev. Mr.. Day has been prominent in
church federation work, and with his
father is one of the most prominent
clergymen in the city.
