The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-03-17

Grace Methodist members unani-
mously voted for the return of the pas
tor, the Rev. A. H. Backus. for the en-
suing year at an increase in salary, at
the fourth quarterly conference of the
church held Wednesday night.
Since the Rev. Backus assumed the
pastorate of Grace church, the mem
bership has increased by leaps and
bounds. He is progressive in his work,
and is responsible for many of the
church's new features. A similar vote
was cast in favor Of retaining DR.
Somerville Light. district superintend-
emit.
Reports covering the years work
were most gratifying. The Rev. DR..
Somervilie Light, district superint end
ent of the Richmond district. presided.
