preaching in the local pulpit in anticipation of a call or invitation to become their pastor the members of the united church congregation will be called upon next tuesdcy evening to extend a call to a new minister to become pastor here after july 1st we understand that the manner in which the selection will be made from the men heard will be by ballot the official board members will bring before the meeting the names of certain ministers and recommend that from them a choice be made the members of the congregation present will then be called upon to exercise their ballot for possibly a first and second and third choice it will only be necessary for the one voting to write the name of the minister of their choice then a second and per haps a third choice and deposit the ballot in the box or other receptacle the idea of asking for a second and third choice is a safeguard against any possible chance of the first man chosen being already called else where or for any other reason he may not be able to accept in that event the second man would be in vited by this method the congrega tion will eliminate holding a second meeting it is pointed out that persons who fail to attend will have no choice in the matter hence a large member ship is being urged by the officials to be present next sunday rev l e atkinson of windermere a native of whit church township will preaoh in the
