Rev. W. n. MueEiow Surprised

On Monday evening about Q hum
dred Pensioners Of Plymouth
church met at the residence Of Louis
Dessery, North Tenth street. Their
object was TO take the parsonage by
storm and the pastor by surprise.
They did both very satisfactorily, the
parsonage captivating without .
struggle, aud Mr.. Mucklow when he
saw the crowd, resembled RepublI-
can after the returns were all In last
fall.
Saturday last Mr.. Mucklow was 80
years old, and the surprise was an
impromptu affair which was gotten
up to commemorate the event.
Monday evening after tea Jud Stew
ems invited him over to have q game
OF chess, Of which he IL very fond.
While buried In the game, he was
suddenly called home, but fingered
80 long that the party began to sus-
pect the elder was "onto" the game,
and was having q little fun at their
expense. When he did come, how
ever. he was very much surprised
and pleased. We all are and preach
ers are not 50 very different from
other folks. An hour was spent In
social enjoyment, when the host
again became . victim to the machI-
nations of his flock.
A party Of men folks held him cap
tive out In the hall while q very
mysterious article was placed upon
q table and hidden from the view.
After being called In, the venerable
Trustee McVicar introduced Dea-
con George Colby TO the pastor, and
remarked that the deacon had few
words to say to him. In o few words
Mr.. Colby made his presentation
speech and finally uncovered beau
tiful and costly silver water &c rvice.
For Q man who II not easily taken
unawsres Mr.. Mucklow acted badly,
he blushed, but contrived to reDly In
good style, and In . very felIcitous
manner. A quotation Of scripture,
John VIT-57: "Jesus stood and cried
saying: II any man thirsteth let hin,
come unto me and drink was en-
graved on the pitcher, and on the
bsse the words, presented to Rev.
w. y. Mucklow by the members and
sdherents Of Plymouth Congregs-
tionsl church, Of SslIna, Kan, as . |
small token Of their high esteem for |
his labor Of love, and In commemor-
alton OF his ssth birthday, Aug. sth
1891" After refreshments were
served the party dispersed, wishing |
their beloved pastor many happy re-
turns Of his birthday anniversary.
