Pastor Called to Richmond.
The Rev. Alonzo r. Love. popular and
able pastor of the West End BAPTIST
church, recently called to the bastorate
OF the Barton Heights church, Rich
mond. returned here from the capital
city tonight and in an interview stated
that he was not yet ready to announce
his decision as to accepting or rejecting
the call TO Richmond.
Mr.. Love recently entered upon hfs
eleventh year as pastor of the West End
church He has accomplished a great
work here and has splendid prospects
for still greater accomplishments.
Scores of his members are anxious
to have him remain but they will
probably not know definitely what his
decision will be for week or more.
Naturally much anxiety Is being felt
as to a possible successor to Mr.. Love
and it will prove no easy task to find
a man who will so ably serve his
people This is no less true with Mr..
Loves wife who has IN a sense had
as able part in the progress of the
West End church during the last
ten years as has the pastor.
