Our neighbor, Rev. Lester Warren, who
was to preach the " Occasional " sermon at

reasons decided that it was best not to at
tend. Mr.. Warren is over eighty years old,
and has been actively engaged in the min
istry for over sixty years. He had preached
regularly Sundays until two or three years
ago, and has, even up to the last few
months, had numerous calls to attend
funerals, to most of which he has been able
to respond. We believe he is the oldest
minister in the denomination in the state.
