| 1t is probable that the Methodists of
Davenport. who have a $4,000 church
building and a $4,000 parsonage. and
who pay their pastor salary of $4,000,
will make an effort to secure the ser
vices of Rev. Frank Cole. d. D.. for
the next conference year. Dr. Cole has
served the First Methodist church in
| Waterloo most acceptably for the past
five years and the official board has
expressed its desire to have him re-
main another year. This desire is uni
versal also among the membership and
If Davenport should succeed In pro-
curing DR.. Coles services at the ap-
preaching session of the Upper Iowa
conference, 1t will be regretted by the
entire membership and by many peo-
pie of other churches who have come
to know and esteem the pastor.
