DR.. WALTERS
HAS A CALL
TO FAR west

DR.. ]. M. Walters, probably the best
known minister in the state of North
Dakota, pastor of the First M. E..
church of this city, has received a call
to the large and prosperous Vincent
M. e. church of Spokane, Wash, and
negotiations are pending between the
people of Spokane and the doctor. at
the present time.
When asked about the matter DR..
Walters said to The Forum, Yes, it is
true that I have received a call to the
Vincent church at Spokane. This was
several days ago and the officers Of
the church and myself have been in
correspondence since.
II can tr1lthfully say that would
dislike very much to leave Fargo, for
] love my church, the people thereof
and the citizens of Fargo in general,
but Mrs. Walters has not been in
good health for some time and have
been advised by many that q change
in the climate, which would take me
to the coast, might be the means of
restoring her to her good health. 1t
would be on this account and this ac-
count alone that would think for
moment of leaving Fargo and my peo-
pie here. Officials Of the First M. e.
church are cognizant of the call that
is made neA but as / have stated be-
fore there has been no definite steps
taken, for We are still in correspond
ence"
1t is sincerely hoped by the people
of the city in general that DIR. Walters
may be induced to remain here, but If
he feels that Ii is best for him to go
on his wife's account he will have the
very best wishes of everybody who
knows him.

spectacular display which inevitably
attaches to the induction of a new
chief executive of the nation.

amendment as he stated that it would
