The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1883-09-27
Rev. w. ID. CheringtOn.

L nlS genGleWdu clOSeu tuTee years
of labor as Pastor Of the jackson
charge. on last Sunday. We have
known many ministers of ability, and
possessing rich Christian graces, but
we do not remember ever to have
known man more thoroughly en-
dowed with the spirit Of Christianity,
or a more untir1ng worker in Church
and Sabbath School, than this minis
ter. The Church has been prosperous
under his leadership, while he made
hosts of warm personal friends outside
of the Church. In all his long service
here. if he has offended any it was Sa-
tan and his imps. Young, studious,
highly educated, and with his whole
heart set upon the work Of the Great
Master, Rev. W. D. Cherington is one
of the rising ministers of this Confer
ence, and he and his good wife and
fellow Church worker leave many per-
sonal friends, and perhaps no enemies,
in Jackson. No enemies save one.
In order to show the effect of this
fellows hatred Of the young minister,
we submit the following:
WHAT W. C. GOULD SAYS.
"We believe next Sunday will close
Rev. Mr.. Cherington' labors in jack
son. We do not think it will be a
source Of special regret to anybody.
We hope Conference will send a
minister to Jackson who will have
nerve enough to attend to his own
business and not get mixed up in po-
litical or personal matters. We would
be delighted to have Rev. c. F. Creigh-
ton again or a man of his style in
every respect. The NJ. E. Church
under his charge fourished-since he
left it has not prospered greatly in any
respect. ."-Herald.

been crowned with success.

ton we have found true and sympa-
thetic friend, a jealous Christian, and

Pastor and people will soon be severed,
we here assure him of our friendship,
esteem and confidence, trusting that,
into whatever field of labor he may be
called, God will bless him and his, and

successful, and that in the Great Day
he may have many stars in his crown
Of rejoicing.

lntions be furnished Brother Cheering
ton, and spread upon the records" !"

nize in Bro. Cherington a Pastor and
Teacher and Worker combined-a

Try walk of life" !
