Macon Telegraph and Messenger: "On Tues
day night. by a preconcerted arrangement,
Rev. J W. Crumpler, pastor Of the East
Macon Methodist Church, was invited out with
his family to take supper at the house of
neighbor. The invitation was accepted and
the minister and his family very much enjoyed
the visit. About o'clock they returned to
the parsonage, and Mr.. Crump!er thought
strange that the door was unlocked. being GER
tain that he had locked It securely when he
left in the early part OF the evening. His sur
prise was greater when he entered the house
and found about one hundred persons
and sitting room. During the absence
of the family these good people had
gotten into the house and filled a table full
of such articles as would be Of service to

hams, cabbage. and every kind of provisions,
and one gift in money. Mr. Crumpler was
wholly taken aback at the unexpected dona-
ton party, and could scarcely find words to
express his appreciation and thanks. Such
occasional reminders from friends go a long
way towards smoothing the rugged paths Of
the ministry But few know the trials and
hindrances of the Methodist minister and
when good. kind friends drop suddenly in with
armfuls Of the substaDtials and luxuries OF
life, the deed not only brings JOY to the house
