Goodwin of [1l, has been called by the Winnetka Congregational church as as- sociate minister, Mr. Goodwin was chosen at a church meeting held Mon- day evening of this week. The question of calling a third min- ister caused the Congregational church The Dundee, || meeting, Monday evening, to be 'well attended. An interesting and complete- ly harmonious session resulted in a un- an'mous vote to extend the call to Mr. | Goodwin. If his acceptance is received, {as there is confident hope it will be, a more complete account of the meeting and particulars concerning Mr. Goodwin || will appear next week. Rev. James A. Richards, pastor of | the church, and other church officials have for a long time felt that the | growth of the village and the expan- sion of the church activities created responsibilities which could not be met without finding another minister to sup- plement the work now being done. The meeting last Monday, resulting in the call to Mr. Goodwin, was the culmina- tion of their efforts to adequately take care of the work in hand.
