has won a host Of friends in this place
and vicinity, who regret to hear of his
departure. He has been a great help
in the young peoples society and with
his efforts he has succeeded in organ
izing a Junior Christian Endeavor So
ciety, and has greatly encouraged them
in their work. While there are min
listers, as well as others, who do not
consider the young people any great
consequence to a church. we do not
boast in saying that Rev. Davis has
been the cause Of a great increase in
such work by the younger ones. and
has prepared good start for them In
succeeding the older ones. Wherever
our former pastor goes he carries with
him the best wishes Of doing more con-
tinued good for the Master and the up
