REV. EDW. FULLER
IS new PASTOR
At FERGUS FALL
Minneapolis Pastor Is Selected
by Central Baptist Church
AS Leader.

Rev. Edward L. Fuller of Mime
apolis is one of the recent progressive
ministers added to the Baptist Of
Minnesota. He was ordained last Oc-
tober when the st. Paul Baptist
church called council for that pur-
pose. Recently Rev. Fuller was
called by the Central Baptist church
at Fergus Falls, Mimi. where he took
up the work left off by the resigna-
ton of Rev. Withers, who has re-
turned to Kentucky. Fergus Falls
is greatly pleased with their new
pastor and under his capable leader
ship, great things are predicted for
Central Baptist church.
Spoke in St. Paul.
Rev. Edward L. Fuller spoke for
the mission circle at st. Paul Baptist
church Sunday, August 10, at 4:30
P. M, using for his subject, Earnest
Desire" Speaking direct to the
point, he clearly stated, Life is not
a burden to be borne, nor living a
task to be done, and the law of our
being is the fundamental principles
of all the great religions, for life is
a wonderful, mysterious thing, rep
resenting the highest intelligence and
skill that nature exercises.
but life's responsibilities rest on
the foundation of desire, and the first
lesson begins at home. for one can
not discharge his or her duty to 9TH
ers until they have first learned their
duty to self. The person who is neg
ligent of his duty to self, wasteful of
their powers and careless Of the hab-
its that build or destroy mind and
character, Is not only useless as a
member of society, but such is per-
nicious to a community"
In Fergus Falls Sunday.
Rev. Fuller will preach to his con-
gregation. in an installation sermon,
at Fergus Falls Sunday morning. At
p. M. Rev. Johnson, pastor of the
Swedish Baptist church. will give IA
welcome sermon. Rev. Fuller is a
product of the Twin Cities and is
looked upon as a very able man in
the ministry. The church at Fergus
Falls is more than fortunate In Sc
curing him.
