Description

Houston is writing at the solicitation of his circuit about the possibility of Dayton becoming a station with William H. Raper appointed as preacher. He is personally skeptical as to whether the congregation is ready to become a station and pay the salary of a married preacher. Because Rev. Raper is a Mason, members of the congregation believe that financial help would be forthcoming from the Masonic community to help pay for Raper's salary. Houston is doubtful that this will happen.
