smoke was seen issuing from the

into the room to find big blaze
which had originated in the waste

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
WILL CALL PASTOR

BUDGET-REV. A. B. BAKER
HEARD SUNDAY

The Moscow Christian church is
casting about for a pastor to take
the place to be made vacant by the
resignation of the Rev J. Quincy
Biggs, who leaves about June "a to
take up educational work in the
Christian College at Fort Worth, Tex
where he has accepted sthe chair of
professor of oratory.
Last Sunday the Rev. A. D. Baker of
Nappa, Cal. occupied the pulpit in the
forenoon and delivered an excellent
sermon. He had been invited by the
congregation to come and look over
the field and deliver sermon. No
call has been officially extended to
him. The congregation is still trying
to secure a pastor to take the place
of Rev. Mr.. Biggs and will probably
have other ministers here to preach
before an invitation to accept the
pastorate is officially extended
The congregation has raised it's
budget for the coming year and is in
fine condition financially to carry on
the work. Rev. Mr.. Biggs has been
working on the budget and trying to
get the financial affairs in good condi-
tion for his successor.
Rev and Mrs. Biggs and their two
daughters expect to start about June
"a, for Texas. They will drive through
in their Oakland car, going by easy
stages and carrying a camp outfit
They are devoting spare moments
now to preparing their camping out
fit to be carried on the car and are
looking forward to a pleasant sum-
mer outing while making the journey
to Texas.
