Last Sunday was the seventh annl-
versary of Rev. J. H. Patton's pastorate
, at the Presby terrain church in this city.
They have been seven years of faithful,
earnest, devoted, consecrated work in
the Masters cause. The church has
prospered under his ministry and he
| has become endeared to his flock,
whom he has led by "still waters and
in green pastures" of spiritual food and
growth. He is loved and esteemed by
our people, not only for his work
sake, but for his genial personality and
pure character. He is yet young
man, growing in knowledge and grace,
and we trust his years may be many
among us as useful pastor and a
worthy citizen.

platform, and that is Governor Bob
Taylor. Prof. Camp is an eloquent
orator, and those who hear him on
November 81 will be delighted. Talk
