REV.  FRANK P. WOODBURY, D.D.

It gives us great pleasure to announce the acceptance by Rev. Frank P. Woodbury, D.D., of the position of Corresponding Secretary of this Association.  Since the death of our dear Brother Powell, with the large increase of special resources and the general expansion of our work, an addition to our administrative force has become an absolute necessity.  Dr. Woodbury brings to his new position special qualifications.  His eighteen years of successful work in his pastorate at Rockford, Ill., and his very effective two years’ service in Minneapolis, have made him acquainted with the work of a pastor and the needs of the churches.  In these pastorates, and in other services for the general interests of the church, he has shown exceptional administrative gifts.  These will find ample range for activity in the Secretaryship.  His public address at several of our own Annual Meetings and on many other similar occasions, attest his power as a platform speaker.  He will meet with a warm welcome to the duties of this office, and we are confident that he will receive an equally cordial greeting in the churches, Conferences and Associations.
