LUTHERAN PARSONAGE

At congregational meeting held
Immediately following service Sun
day morning, in st. Stephens Luther
an Church, it was unanimously de-
cided to sell the present parsonage
on upper Main Street and build a
new one on the vacant lot adjoin-
ing the churca. This was consider
ed necessary tecause Of the incon-
venience of the location Of the pres
emit parsonage to the pastor and MS
family relative to church work. By
a vote Of the congregation the mat
ter Of selling the old parsonage was
left entirely in the hands Of the pas
tor and council. The present par
sonage is very desirable properly for
q residence and the council should
have no trouble in disposing Of it at
an early date.
