Il. Nj. HURST.

The many friends of 7. NJ. Hurs'
will read with interest and pleas
ure the following from the Penn
sylyania Reporter. 1t will be re
membered that. Mr.Hurst was born
and reared in this county, where
he has many friends who will al
ways take pleasure in his adj
vancement in whatever field he
may choose:
"Friday, March 25, was a holi.
day for the people of the O. P
church near Van Buren,, when
they with one mind met at the
parsonage on the hill top to well
come the new pastor, Rev. T. M.
Hurst and his family. The happy
faces and merry greetings were
sufficient proof that the people
were glad to welcome among
them not only their new pastor,
whom they have already learned
to love, but also his family, who
have just arrived from their late
home in Nashville, Tenn, and
whose gentle and quite manners
soon won the confidence and es.
TEEN of all, so that they seemed
not as strangers, but as absent
friends returned. After greetings
had been exchanged the good
friends were reminded that while
the social side OF man must be
cultivated, there is another very
important thought to be empha.
sized, and dinner was announced.
About IS people sat down to
the tables filed from baskets the
contents Of which seemed mex
haustible; and the ladies needed
only to look at those tables after
dinner to realize that their efforts
in that line were appreciated.
This very important part of the
program dispensed with Andrew
Horn, one of the oldest members,
in a few we'll chosen words vel.
coined the pastor and his family.
w. l. Lindley, in his inimitable
way, followed with a pleasant
word to the Presbyterian friends
who had kindly joined in the hap
by holiday. Mr.. Hurst in a neat
and touching address thanked the
people for the interest shown and
asked their hearty cooperation
and prayers. After singing "Blest
Be The Ties That Bind" led by
stephen Pipes and short prayer
by John Day, the benediction was
pronounced. Then the friends
dispersed, leaving behind as re-
minder that they had been there,
u modest donation in the shape of
flour, meat, potatoes, canned fruit,
groceries, dishes and chickens"
