Wants Him Back.
Lancaster Ledger: DIR. S. A. Weber,
pastor of the Lancaster Methodist church,
will preach his last sermon here on Sun
day next before going to the annual con-
ference. He has been in our midst only
one year but during that length Of time
he has won the hearts of all, irrespective
of denominational lines. He is, unques-
tionably, one of the ablest and most
scholarly preachers the conference has
sent to this station in years. Every SER
mon he breaches is characterized by orig
inality of thought and profound erudi-
ton. We would welcome with much
pleasure his return to Lancaster another
year.
