A Minister Suited

Yesterday being the fortieth birth
day Of Elder Geo. R. Kramer, and the
members of the Household of Faith
wishing to show their pastor the de-
gree with which they appreciated his
valuable services, determined to give
him a grand surprise, and accordingly
last evening they assembled at the
above named church, and between
eight and nine o'clock they proceeded
to the parsonage, on French street
above Eighth. Whilst sitting at home
the Elder was suddenly greeted by
strains of music proceeding from be-
low his parlQr windows, and upon 60
ing to the front door he beheld vast
number of his friends, whom he hearth
ly welcomed within his home. Then
the Elder was presented with neat
and handsome black suit Of clothing.
handkerchiefs, hosiery and other arti-
cles of wearing apparel. The Elders
wife received large handsome hand
kerchief box, exquisitely wrought from
beautiful wood, the gift of Mrs. S. W.
Schultz, and also two silver desert
spoons, the gift Of Mrs. Woodbury.. The
Elders daughter was the recipient Of q
very acceptable gift in the torn of a
basket of delicious fruit, from Mrs. Sut
ton, member of the Delaware Avenue
Church. Also there we're received q
large quantity of dry goods, provisions,
bouauets, etc. The success of the af-
fair is due to the members of the House
hold for the hearty manner in which
they responded to the enterprise, and
also to the church choir for the sweet
music which they rendered at the par
