The many Bellwood friends of Dr. L. A. Welliver are gratified to learn that he has recently been elected to the presidency of Westminster Theological Seminary at Westminster, Maryland.  It was during the summer of 1924 when Rev. Bell was pastor of the local Methodist church and was fatally injured by a drunken automobile driver in Mifflin county, that Rev. Welliver finished out the year made vacant due to the death of Rev. Bell.  In the spring of 1925 Rev. Welliver was officially appointed by the conference serving this charge from 1925 to 1928.  Best wishes to Dr. l. A. Welliver, wife and children.
