NO VACATION IN COLUMBUS.
DR.. E. L. Rexford says: 81 thought
that on July % would be the last ser
vice before the vacation, but l enter
tanned this thought before the con-
gregation came. However, when the
people came and filled every seat in the
church, said to them: 1t seems unrea-
sonable to close the church doors in the
faces of those who fill all the pews, and
we will 60 on with our services, and so l
am going to preach right on. One or
two adult men will go to Canton this
fall to study for the ministry. preferring
this to the professions they are now in
(aw and medicine)."
We are glad to report that DR.. Rexford
is recovering from the lameness, occa-
stoned by an accident while on visit

him in his pastoral work, as he goes
about the city in his buggy.
