raise defnate aAount to pay tue
salary OF a resident munster was quite
literally signed by the people of
Wood and the surrounding communi
ty, and enough money was pledged
to give minister resident here a coed
salary. A call was extended to Rev
Vanvalkenburgh, and we understand
he is very seriously considering the
matter, and will probably accept the
call. We hope to make definate an,
nouncement Of his acceptance In the
merry near future.
