church basement was built.
Rev. A. F. Knorr, now in Cor

ed the pastorate in May, 1936.
He served the church for seven
years, leaving in July, 1943, for
Wilbur, Wash.
Rev. E. W. Kasten, then assis

Portland, was installed at
Aurora, July 4, 1943, and served
until April, 1947, when he ac
cepted a call to Wenatchet,
Wash. During his regime, the
