Rev J W Fradenburg surprised his Baptist congregation by resigning for the second time this Sunday. He previously quit to accept Medford Oregon but parishioners objected and he stayed. The new call comes from the Central Baptist College at Pella Iowa offering fat salary and free tuition for his children. A church annex building campaign begun last November will be continued by his successor. Fradenburg is described as a gifted preacher and the departure will be a loss to the city’s ministerial corps.
