L. jackson. pastor of the First Bap-
fist church here, Saturday said, 1T
Is seldom pastors privilege to have
as a member of his field and church
a fellow-minister who is as congenial
and likeable as Mr.. Jacobson. Both
he and his family have been active
and loyal members Of the First Bap-
fist church for many years and they
will be missed. We are very happy
over the unusual opportunity which
comes to them to continue their
