TO WORK IN A CHURCH AT ANDERSON, INDIANA

Rev. Mr. Grafton, of the Christian Church, Not Decided as to His Acceptance

Laporte, Ind., February 24. - (Special.) - The Central Christian church at Anderson, this state, has voted a unanimous call to the Rev. Dr. Grafton, of Ann Arbor, Mich., to fill the pastorate made vacant by the resignation of the Rev. M. W. Harkins, who has left the ministry to engage in the insurance business. The Anderaon church has assurances that the call will be accepted by Dr.Grafton, who is expected to render a decision before the close of this week. 

Dr. Grafton's residence was called up by the Argus relative to the above dispatch which appeared in Wednesday's Free Press. The Doctor was not at home, but the statement was made that while there was nothing definite that could be give out at the present time, it is true that Dr. Grafton has received a call from a committee of the church mentioned. The statement was also made that whatever his decision may be ultimately, it will not be given until he has been on the ground and looked over the field. Dr. Grafton has not yet made this inspection and consequently is not prepared to decide the matter.
