at Vancouver.
The Rev. D. W. Thurston for the
past three years pastor of the First
Baptist church of Marshfleld, an
nounced his resignation to his con

surprise as the congregation had re
cently extended a call to him to re

tically agreed to accept.

pit Is the result of an offer from tho
First Baptist church of Vancouver,
to become a candidate for that
charge in the larger field. He will
leave for Vancouver Saturday and
will occupy the pulpit there a week
from Sunday. Although the details
are not closed, It is practically cer
tain that he will be given the Van
couver charge, this having been made
plain to him before he agreed to give
up the pastorate here.
Rev. Thurston has had charge of
the local Baptist church for three
years and has been quite successful
In his work here. In addlHon to his
duties' as pastor, he has been an
active Prohibition Worker and also
active in charity work. His decision
to leave Marshfleld will be greatly
recretted by his friends here.
Capt. R. Schmehl of North Bend,
will occupy the pulpit here Sunday
and others will be called in until
the -congregation decides upon Rev.
Thurston's successor.
Mrs. Thurston and the children
will remain in Marshfleld for a month
