CANE PRESENTATION. At the
regular meeting of the B'nai Birth
Society, held on Sunday morning
last at their lodge room, and at
which large number of members
were present, Mr.. Moses Mayer, the
Secretary, was presented with, a
beautiful gold-headed walking cane.
The presentation was made by Mr..
N. Bloom, chairman of the Commit
tee appointed for that purpose,
who spoke at some length Of Mr..
Mayors past services in: the interest
of the above named society, and
more particularly Of his labor, zeal
and fidelity as a member. Allusion
was also made to the gentleman
in his official capacity he having
served the society as Secretary
| for the last fifteen months. Mr..
Mayer in reply stated that he was
very grateful to the Lodge for the
kind consideration and love which
had been shown him ever since his
membership, and more particularly
since his promotion to the Office Of
Secretary, and that he had always
worked fot the welfare of the order,
and Rebecca Lodge especially
Furthermore he stated that all he
asked as long as he was a member,
was that the members would extend
to him the same brotherly love that
had been shown him in the past;
he would ches,fully perform his
duties as Secretary so long as he
had strength to WELD his pen. He
then thanked those present for the
present given him.
The cane is of beautiful design
and finish, and cost $3.50, having
been purchased from those we'll
known jewellers, Messrs. Ferguson
& Schnack. The inscription read
presented to Bro. Moses Mayer
from Rebecca Lodge No, 24O, Alex
andria, La, April 18th, 1884"

EASTER CELEBRATION. - Not.
withstanding the unpropitious char
acter of the day, goodly congre.
gction assembled Sunday at St.
James Church, every seat being
occupied, The decorations were
ornate and beautiful. Much disap.
pointment was felt in consequence
of destruction Of flowers wrought by
the storm Friday, but what was
lost in quantity was compensated
for by skillful manipulation. The
sermon by the Rector was on know.
ing Christ as ever present; as a
real sufferer for ones own sake
discerning His body, and as thus
learning how to put in practice the
great Easter lesson Of rising to a
life of spiritual being. The music
was led by the combined choirs Of
st. James and Mount Olivet chur.
ches, and was we'll rendered.
In the afternoon, St. James
Sunday School held their usual
commemoration. We are disposed
to think that their carols were sung
even better than usual.
At night St. Marks Sunday
School held their festival service.
1t was quite a success. This school
lis for colored children and is doing
very good work.

REV. DAVID WALKS INTENTIONS.
He Will Retire from the Ministry for a Time
and Travel Abroad

AT the conclusion of the services at the Central
Christian Church, yesterday morning, Rev
David Walk, who for nearly four years has been
in charge of that congregation, avowed his in
tention of retiring from that position at the end
of the present year and travelling abroad. In re
gard to the matter he said:
Dear Brothers, and Sisters and Friends:
would be either more or less than man, did fail
to be profoundly impressed with the many to
kens of Christian love of which have been the
recipient during the past week, and the many
expressions of mingled joy and sorrow which
have poured in upon me both verbal and
graphic Joy at the good fortune which has be
fallen me- sorrow at the thought that the de
hghtful relations which have so long subsisted
between US as pastor and people, must soon
be terminated. But beg you to consider that,
hrst OF all, must have rest. For more than
thirty years have diligently prosecuted the
chosen work of my life, and in all that long and
eventful period l have never taken but a single
summers vacation. Although in the very prime
OF vigorous manhood and free from disease. so
far as know, still / am adruonished that the
time has come to call a halt and repair the over
taxed vital forces of nature This / propose to
do, not IN ldleness but by q change of labor
After having devoted little time to the adjust
ment of my private affairs. L shall, by the bless
ing of God, carry into execution one of the cher
lshed purposes of my life, namely to spend
year, more or less, in those lands made sacred by
bHc SaItily liz anu ldOOFS OF OUT Gear LORD, IN
this way / hope to prepare myself for still
further and greater usefulness in the cause of
Him whose | am and whom l serve. / realize
that God has been very good to me and mine
He has been lavish in blessings Of every kind
and In every way, and I feel that I owe Him
debt which an eternity of devotion cannot repay
1t is more than probable that we will make
our home in Indianapolis. We love this city;
we love her people, and above all, we love this
church. Here God has greatly blessed my
labors. and undoubtedly the best and most sue
cessful work of my ministerial life has been done
here. Many and precious are the memories
which must forever be associated in my mind
with this church and city. How many of you
dear ones have introduced into the kingdom
and patience of Jesus Christ How many mar
riage VOWS have blessed. And OH how many
of your beloved dead have l laid away to rest
But am impressed with the conviction-nor is
it a conviction of sudden impulse-that for the
present, at least, these happy relations should
be severed and so l hereby announce my de
termination to retire from this pulpit with the
close of my fourth year of service as your pastor
that is to say March 81 1885
And now, my dearly beloved, THE Lord bless
thee and keep thee: The Lord make his face
shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee: The
Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give
the peace" And this l ask for Jesus Christs
sake. Amen.
