Rev. w. G. Watkins. who for seven
years has been pastor of the North
Main Avenue Baptist church OF North
Scranton, at the services in the church
yesterday morning preached his fare
we'll sermon. 1t was with extreme re-
gret that the congregation accepted the
resignation and many eyes were
dimmed with tears as the official ac-
ton was taken dissolving their rela-
tions as pastor and flock.
After the services a meeting of the
congregation was held, at which the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That with the acceptance
of the resignation of Rev. w. G. Wat
kins as pastor of this church we desire
to express our appreciation of his faith
full labog among us during nearly
seven years and our affection for him,
our esteem for him as O. teacher and
leader, and our high regard for his
exempliticatlon of Christian manhood.
Believing that He whom he serves
will lead him into a broader field of
usefulness, and assuring him of our
esteem and interest always we beseech
his own prayers, "The Lord bless him
and keep him." "The Lord make his
face to shine upon thee and be gracious
unto thee" The Lord lift up His
countenance upon thee and give thee
peace"
FAREWELL SERMON
The text of Mr.. Watkins farewell
sermon was taken from the second
epistle of John, Look to yourselves,
that we lose not those things which we
have wrought, but that we receive a
full reward" After a general discus
sion of his text the speaker made the
following reference to his resignation:
"At this time l may be allowed to
make local application of the text,
Look to yourselves that ye lose not
| those things which ye have gained as
a church in this place. Surely some
thing has been gained. For seven years
I have preached what l believe to be
| the gospel. I have not told funny
stories, or ridden hobbies; 1 have not
sough. particularly to please, for If
| pleased men, then am I not the SER
want of Christ But my theme has
| been Christ, and him crucifled, and
though my subjects have been varied
yet Christ has been central in them all
and my persistent purpose has been to
hold him up. However imperfectly
done, such work cannot be in vain.
Tt has not been fruitless, for l have
|
you grow strong and useful under It.
| To God be the praise.
when I came to you I found ~
members; leave you with 800. I have
had the privilege Of welcoming int
| membership more than $50, most OF
them by baptism. Together We have
struggled, together we have paid a deb
of nearly $4,000.
HIS BEST HELPERS.
II have been with you in trouble ant
sorrow, in the sick room, and some o.
the richest experience have come to IN!
own life in those sad hours when
tried to comfort you. I have buried
your dead, but as another has said
the dead are our best helpers, 81
while living and since dying they havt
been my best helpers. They are will
me yet as with you, encouraging ant
inspiring me.
"Do not lose one iota of those things
which you have gained as a church
Keep together, work together, love on
another, exhort one another and s
much the more as you see the day ap
preaching"
