Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 86, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 4 July 1899 — A New Christian Minister. [ARTICLE]

A New Christian Minister.

Rev. A. L. Ward, recently pastor of the Christian church at North Indianapolis, preached at the Christian church here, Sunday morning and evening. The members, of the congregation were much pleased with his abilities as a preacher and extended to him a unanimous call to the pastorate of the church. He has accepted and will preach regularly every Sunday. He will not reside here for the present at least, as he is now pursuing advanced theological studies at Chicago University. The present engagement with him is for a period of six months.
