The Luther Place Memorial Church con-
gregation last night chose Rev. Lloyd
c. Douglas of the First English Lutheran
Church of Lancaster, Ohio. to succeed
the late Rev. DR.. John Butler as pastor.
According to expectations. Mr.. Douglas
will accept and take up his work within
q short time.
1t was expected that those members of
the congregation who have supported
Rev. Charles H. Butler, son of the late
DR.. Butler. for the pastorate would make
a determined fight for his election, but
during the meeting Mr.. Butler withdrew
his name. it is stated, in the interest Of
peace. He urged that the congregation
postpone action in the selection Of a pas
tor for several months and hear a number
of additional candidates for the place.
L. F. Randolph OF the church council
called the meeting to order shortly after
8 o'clock. There was a fair attendance,
the women members predominating. Rev.
Mr.. Butler offered prayer. petitioning for
peace and harmony in the elaboration of
the meeting. William II. Finckel was
elected chairman.
Reporters Excluded.
When Mr.. Finckel assumed the chair
an elderly man in the rear Of the house
arose and made a motion that all news
paper reporters be excluded from the
meeting. A number of the ladies seated
in the front rows assented in audible
tones. A minority. numbering about fifty
persons, opposed the motion, favoring
an open meeting and MIR. Finckel looked
worried. But the situation was to a great
extent cleared when several reporters
arose and left the room.
w. J. Showalter, clerk of the church
council, read the report of that body
recommending Rev Lloyd c. Douglas,
and then the congregation went into ex-
ecutive session.
Later in the evening. after the meeting
closed and several members had gone
down town, it was announced that Rev.
MIR. Douglas had been chosen. 1t was
rumored that the pastor barely got a two
thirds vote. No one can state this with
any certainty except those who particd-
pated in the deliberations. 1t is under
stood that a recommendation to the effect
that the new pastor be paid salary
equal to that of Rev. DR.. Butler-$2, 800
was adopted.
An election to choose three new trustees
of the church will be held Monday even
ing.

what It was. / noticed the richness Of
It and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
I was drinking Postum for fear ! might

ing ne Postum instead Of coffee until
grew stronger. more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
q clearness to my eyes, then she told
me Of the health-giving, nerve
