plans to make effective the call for
q general suspension OF work on

situation that may arise brought the
leaders face to face with the fact that
they were confronting crisis.
Grave doubts were expressed by
many of the leaders as to the ability
Of the Central Federated Union to
make good its threats But. in spite
of these expressions. the men who
have been most active in fomenting
the plans at walkout persisted in
their statements that walkout which
would stagger the city was assured.
Pinned down for definite state

would leave their work. the leaders
declined to make any estimates.

in August and so we'll pleased were
the members of the congregation that

the matter over with the committee
appointed to select a pastor. Just

definite answer up to this time, 1t Is
understood that the action taken yes
terday at the East End church is final
and that he will wire his acceptance.
The West Virginia city congrega-
ton is much larger than the one he
is serving at the present time, and Mr..
Parsons stated last night that it af-
fords an excellent field for service.
The church of which Mr.. Parsons
has been asked to become pastor is

been erected at a cost of $40, 900. and

gregation were taken completely by
surprise, none of them knowing that
