Rev. w. II. Williams preached his fare
well sermon at the Congregational church in
Sloan Springs, Arkansas, April 10th and
has returned to his home in Springfield Mo.
The church adopted resolutions accepting
Mr.. Williams resignation with regret. A
local paper says:
Monday evening large number of Mr..
Williams friends assembled at the residence
OF E. t. Wisner to tender him farewell
ception. The occasion was very pleasant
from social standpoint, but sentiment of
sadness permeated the gathering for the
reason that it was meeting and parting
of a devoted flock and its beloved pastor. 1t
is indeed with sincere regret that the mem
bers of Mr.. Williams congregation and the
community in general have to give him up
to other fields of labor. He has accomplish
Ell much good during his residence of over
three years in Sloan Springs, and aside
from the great results he has accomplished
in church work he has secured warm
place in the esteem and affections of all
classes of citizens. During his pastorate at
this point the membership of the church has
more than doubled and he was instrumental
in the erection of the fine edifice now occu-
pied by that organization.

could undertake to arm the entire
