There was a meeting last evening of
the committee on recommendations of
theNorwsik Congregational Church.
and at this several recommendations
to the church were made. The most
important was that the resignation of
the pastor, Rev. George D. Egbert. be
accepted by the church. and that the
resignation may take effect on Febru-
ary 19th. This committee has no pow—
er to do anything save to recommend.
certain things to the church and they
have no power to act upon the resigns-
tlon of the pastor. The church must
have s church meeting and must ratify
the recommendations or turn them
down, s'e they see lit. The date of the
church meeting has not been set. but
it will probably be announced at least
two Weeks before the meeting. The
