SNOW IS
CALLED
TO ". VA.
Secretary Of N. D. Sunday
School Assn. Gwen Flat
tering Offer in East
INCREASE IN The SALARY
Not Known Whether He
Will Accept Offer
Call or Not

Parkersburg, W. Va, Aug. 19.-
Walter A. Snow OF North Dakota was
elected general secretary of the Sun
day School association Of West Vir-
ginia at a meeting Of the executive
committee here, according to an an
nouncement today. He will succeed A.
T. Arnold, who resigned to become
secretary OF the Ohio Sunday School
association.
Rev. Mr.. Snow is not in the city
today and could not be interviewed
relative to his plans, but the belief
among the Sunday School workers of
the city is that unless the North Da-
kota association makes this efficient
secretary a very good offer, he will ac-
cept the call to the West Virginia
| field.
A. L. Bishop, president Of the asso-
| today, but it was stated by those ac-
tive in Sunday School work that the
West Virginia association has offered
Rev. Mr.. Snow a salary of $3,400 a
year to begin with, while the North
Dakota association is paying him $3,-
600.
while we do not know definitely
whether Rev, Mr.. Snow will accept
this call or not at this time, the offer
| is a very hattering one and it is
probable he will accept unless the
| North Dakota association gets very
busy at once" said one Of the promi-
nent Sunday school workers Of the city
today.
Rev. Mr.. Snow has been secretary OF
the North Dakota Sunday School as
sociation for the past seven years and
has done a work that has brought him
to the attention of the entire Sunday
school world. He has made good and
more than good and hiS Loss will be a
great one to the state should he
| choose to accept the call.
