LOCAL CHURCH
 T0 GALL PASTOR

At 8 meeting of the members of the First Presbyterian church and congregation to be held in the church auditorium at 8 o'clock to- night a formal call is to be ex- tended to a pastor.
 Tuis promises to be an occasion Of great importance in the life of the church for it marks the con summation of the various details in cident to the resumption of the work in"skagway by the Presbyter- ian denomination. Since this took place last October, the pastor of the former Methodist Church, Rev. L, H. Pedersen, has continued 10 serve the new organization at the unanimous request of the members The time has now come when it is deemad wise to cement the rela- tioDShip and to place the church on a frmer foundation by having its own installed minister.
 MT. Pedersen having signified his willingness to enter the Presby- ter'an Church and be received in to the Presbytery of AlaSka, the elders have called 8 meeting of the congregation in order that the fin al arrangemnts may be perfected. Key. E. L. Winterberger, pastor Of the Presbyterian church at Haines will come up and preside at the meeting, he having been appointed moderator of the church until the pastor was fully installed.
 Every person connected in any way with the congregation Is in- yited to be present and take part in tho meeting. The meeting will l b brief and there will follow an evening of good fellowship in which all are asked to join. The ladies oF ths church are looking after the social features and the evening promises to be an enjoyable one.
