Missions and Supplies-Report
No., 2. Your committee having received information that the group
consisting of Gallatin, Dry Fork, and Portland have held a meeting
of their joint sessions and unanimously agreed to employ Rev.
H. L. Walker, that Brother Walker give two Sabbaths each to Gallatin
and Dry Fork, and the fifth Sabbaths and whatever pastoral work
he may be able to give to Portland. But Gallatin is behind in
its finances with its former pastor, and is not ready to enter
the arrangement until this matter shall be adjusted.
We
recommend that you ratify this proposed contract, and that Brother
Walker continue his ministrations at Dry Fork looking to the consummation
of the arrangement with the entire group.
