ACCEPT CALL TO MISSION

At the meeting of the church council
of Trinity Lutheran church last night,
at the home of ]. w. Johnson, Third
and Custer streets, Rev. Oscar Woods,
the pastor, announced that he had re-
ceived a very urgent call from the for
eign mission board of the church to
accept appointment to the mission
fields of the church in Africa, and his
resignation was tentatively accepted.

under pressure for some time, the
board insisting that he accept the call,
and that he himself believed his duties
lay in the broader field in the Dark
Continent.
Bride Will Accompany Him.
He will be married at Denver on the
18th, as in The Republican
yesterday, and instead of his bringing
his wife here INC continuing his pas
torate for at least another year, it is
quite probable that she, too, will heed
the call and accompany him to the
African fields. No two young people
in the west are better fitted for such
service, as far as the spiritual feature
of the work is concerned.

Mr.. Woods will have completed his
first year of the ~pastorate here with the
end of September. and the official
board was prepared last night to eX-
tend the call for another twelve
month when the statement came from
Mr.. Woods that he was strongly i'm
pressed with the African call and
would probably accept. He will be
parted with here with regret by every
member of the board and every mem
Der of the congregation, where his
work has been earnest and quite
helpful.
