Surprise TO Mr.. ShankIIu.

When a few Of Rev. w. A. Shankl.ns
par-shioners first whispered the plan Of
giving him a surprise on the eve OF his
departure, few supposed that the affair
would assume sucn large dimensions as il
took on Monday evening. The official
board of the church had voted the pastor
a months vacation. and the members II
the church seemed determined 10 give him
a hearty assurance Of their good viii for
him to bear back with him to his old
home in Kansas City. Furthermore they
determined that the expenses OF the jour
ney should not come out OF the pastors
regular income. Accordingly they made
up generous purse, and on Monday even
.ng about % people gathered al the par
souage on Seneca street. They selected an
appropriate evening. for il CHANGED TO be
the fourth anniversary OF Mr.. and Mrs.
shanklin's wedding. In the generous greet
ing of the evening Mrs. Shanklin was not
forgotten, and the ladies of the church
presented her with handsome cut glass
berry dish From the cordial tone Of those
who enjoyedthe evening at the parsonage,
and the sincere regrets OF those unable TO
be there IL IS evident that the members
Of the First Methodist Episcopal church
esteem their nastor very highly for his
works sake. Many of them accompanied
him 10 the train next day. when with his
little daughter Arnold he left for Kansas
