Pastor of First Baptist Church
Decides to Accept Call From
Normal Town
WILL RESIGN HERE SUNDAY
And Take Up His Work in His New
Field on First Sunday in November
Might Have Gone to Calvary
Church in East Des Moines at Same
Salary.

Rev. Elijah Brown Jones, D. d.. pas
tor of the First Baptist church OF this
city since Oct IL. 1902. will formally
plAce his resignation with his church
in November will begin work in the
First church in Cedar Falls, which
extended him a call on September %.
DR.. Jones decision to enter new
field has been the result of extensive
elaboration He has enjoyed his five
years work here very much but
misses the college people with whom
he has been used to associate. AT
Owatonna. Mimi, where DR.. Jones was
pastor before coming to Marshalltown,
Baptist school threw many young
people into his church. The same Sit
uation will exist at Cedar Falls. which
is the home of the Iowa State Normal
school. with over a thousand students.
Financially speaking the Cedar Fails
pastorate will be no better than the
charge here. The local church pays
it's pastor $1,000 and parsonage. AT
Cedar Falls the salary is $500, with
out parsonage. DR.. Jones expects to
buy a home at Cedar rails.
DR. Jones might have been called as
pastor of the Calvary Baptist church
of East Des Moines had he 50 desired.
but after looking over the field decided
that he preferred Cedar Falls. The
Calvary church, which owns fine new
building, pays but $500 salary. and
that amount in Des Moines would not
be as much as in Cedar Falls.
DR. Jones has made many friends
among other denominations in the city
as we'll as in his own church, and all
will regret that he found 1t advisable
to seek another field.
