Rev. J. Beveridge Lee, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, Bloomfield, N.J., returned form the Adirondacks for Sunday and preached morning and evening in the Madison Avenue Presbyterian church. After morning service he was waited upon by a committee from the Immanuel Presbyterian church of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who was presented a call from that congregation. Immanuel church desires Mr. Lee’s ministrations, has over 700 members and pays a salary of $5,000 and is the foremost Presbyterian church in the State. Mr. Lee has many friends in this city having been once sought as pastor of the Madison avenue Presbyterian church where for eight years he has been on the list of summer supplies. When questioned by the Argus reporter regarding his intentions Mr. Lee said he had not attempted to form a judgment as yet, and it would be impossible to forecast his decision. He returned yesterday to the Adirondacks. – Albany Argus.
