A Preacher Fisherman.

He couldn’t get rich preaching, so he gave it up and wens fishing. After a season’s work with a salmon fishing crew he haff enough money to buy tickets to Norway for his wife, their four children and himself. Now Rev. H. B. Nyoen, former 'pastor of the Norwegian Baptist church of Tacoma, Wash., is on his way to Norway where he says preaching is more lucrative than in America. His desire tat money was due entirely to his longing to return to Norway. When his earnings as a fishermar) were sufficient to buy the tickets he was willing to quit fishing. He will go to Harstad, Norway, where he will receive as pastor about $1,500 a year, with house and fuel. He received only SBOO from his little church tn Tacoma.
