The Columbus Democrat of last week gives
Rev. MJron W. Reed the following good
notice:
! Despite the extreme darkness and the
unpieasantness of the weather on SUNDAY
evening last, the Congregational church was
| entirely filed to listen to the farewell ad-
! dress of Rev NJ. w. Reed. The serrn on was
| one of his best efforts aud was listened to
with even unusual attention. His chiet
| topic was the correiatiye duties of minister
and church, which he treated in his pecul iaI
manner perhaps throwing some additional OF
unusual light upon those relations. His
| farewell was a heart-spoken one. Devoid Of
/ any artificial attempts upon the sentimental
/ it met a response and reciprocauon from
| every hearsr.
| Judging from the magnitude of the con-
! gregations which he has attracted IN vii
lage of churches, we infer Mr.. Reeds min
! istry has been most successful. That he
possesses talents--nay genius of no common
order is the general verdict, His departure
will be much regretted. While in Columbus
he has made many warm friends in purely
personal way, and his influence for good
has extended to class of men not often
reached by clergymen. They are not Jew
who will miss his pleasant ways and sun.
shiny nature, ever looking on the bright
side of life, and never speaking i'll of oul
common humanity.
He has several calls we are informed
We do not know which he has accepted, bu
believe be goes westward.
