1t has been a pleasant visit. 1t will
exist as a unique memory. 1t will be
marked chapter. So UNEXPECTED and
so generous, thus spoke Rev. Or. ]. NJ.
Williams, to a Tribune reporter last
evening. THE kindnesses were not
confined to my former congregation,
nor to my former church. but even
came from those outside of and par
ticular sect Indeed my heart beats with
great feeling which words are inade-
quate to express. But must not for
get to thank The Tribune for its ex-
ceedng courtesy toward me-"
Apparently to DIR. Williams, his
months stay here was too short. For
ten years he ministered to a loving
people without a jar or discord, and af
ter seven years absence he returns and
finds the love and respect of former
years has grown, deepened and spread.
Well might he say that words failed
him.
He preached at both services yester-
day and standing room was impossible.
Last evening he spoke in the English
language. His text was taken from
Judges kills, Teach us what We
shall do unto the child" 1t was a
mastery sermon and went home to the
hearts of his hearers. Strange was the
coincidence too that his farewell SER
mon should be along the lines of what
had been the secret OF his success here
tofore. His work among the young
people has borne it's fruits. 1t came
to them as an encouragement and an
appreciation.
The congregation unanimously ex-
tended to the Memorial church at
Swansea, Wales, a Christian greeting
through DIR. Williams. He leaves this
morning at 6.45 o'clock for New York
city and sails Wednesday for Wales.
1t is expected that in the course of a
week or so call will be extended to
him from the First Welsh Baptist
church here to return. He declined
to make known his intentions as to
his action should the call come. How
ever, If the call goes, the chances for
an affirmative answer are brighter by
far than those of a negative one. Il
leave with pleasant memories, / shall
after revert to these days and shall
never forget them seems to be key
note of the possibility of his future
action.

ANOTHER CAVE.

Charles Lowrey's injunction against
the North Main avenue pave secured
new evidence yesterday morning when
q portion of the roadway in the vicin-
ity of his residence collapsed with a
loud report. The depression covered
an area of about fifteen feet of the
road and sunk to a depth of about
three feet. 1t was circular in shape
and resembled the big cave which oc-
Cured further down the street some
time ago, although it was nothing in
proportion.
Several of the nearby residences
were shook but no damage was done.
The frequent caves which occur in that
vicinity keeps the residents in con-
slant dread. The robbing Of pillars
in the mines is apparently RESPONSE
BILE for the caves. Vehicular traffic
was obstructed on the affected portion
of the road several hours until the hole
was filled.
