members of the church with a surprise par
ty on the Rev. and Mrs. Franklin. Elder

Christian Church for fourteen years. He
also served three years as superintendent OF
Years in a private academy and was county
superintendent of schools for two years.
During his stay in this city the church of
his charge in Bedford has had a wonderful
growth and speaks more than words of the
estimation of the people Of this man and
his fitness as a minister, having increased
the membership adp dur I'M ms Rsv Twelve sr years "a as

Rev. and Mrs. Franklin are the parents of
twelve children-seven sons and five daugh-
ters-an living except three sons.
They have three daughters-Josepha,
Stella and Mildred Franklin-who are mis-
sionaries in India, at Damon, 200 miles from
Bombay. Many beautiful presents were left
by his friends as tokens Of the love and
esteem in which he is held. \
