Concerning a former Oskaloosa
pastor, the Christian News contains
the following: Perhaps no recon-
mendation Of the committee of twelve
at the recent state convention met
with more hearty and universal ap-
prevail than the one that the conven-
ton called our dearly beloved broth
er, A. M. Haggard, to the position Of
state secretary. At the meeting of
the state board last week Bro Hag-
gard signified his willingness to as
sumo the duties of this Office. Dur
ing the summer Bro. Haggard will
not do any field work, but just care
for the clerical work incident to the
central office and get the lines so laid
as to be ready for an aggressive cam
paign beginning next fall. The state
board is delighted to be able to make
this announcement to the churches
of Iowa. For some time we have
been unable to carry on an effective
work to place the Church of Christ
where it ought to be in the great Iowa
field. Now We feel that new era
is before us. No man in Iowa is
better known and more respected and
trusted among the churches than
BRO. Haggard. We bespeak for him
the heartiest support as he goes out
and in among the brethren"
