far from the high bridge. They
live two blocks from the church in
a house that was originally the
parsonage of the German Methodist
church, one Oh the churches that
com bined to build the new church.
Mrs. Koch rays Il is a little small
for their family, but even at that
they are keeping a boarder; that
friend OF Lyle's who was teacher
at Albert Lea Mr.. Koch took me
up and showed me the new church.
They have nice building with all
the modern equipment. He says the
n. ore he looks the situation over the
better satisfied he is that he took
the charge, because he feels there is
an opportunity for a lot of work.
