REV. |. M. HICKMAN LEAVES
He Has Accepted a Passionate in Bczs-
mana Pleasant Event at the
Home of Mr. and Mrs.
j. M. Coyan.

Baptist church to Rev. and Mrs j. A.
jenkins, who are visiting in this city
from Anaconda, and Rev. NJ l.. Rick
man and family, who will depart in a
few days for Bozeman, where the rev.
erend gentleman accepts the pastorate
{ of the Baptist church at that place.
Both ministers are deservedly popular
here, not only among the members of
the church, but with all who esteem the
true worth of an earnest man engaged
in the high calling of Christian minis
ter. Rev. Jenkins was the former pas
tor of the church at this place and he
and his estimable wife are spending a
couple of weeks in this city among
friends who regret their visits to the
scene of their former labors are not
more frequent. The church was we'll
filled and the first form of entertain
ment, refreshments of sherbert and
cake, enjoyed while the guests were en-
tertained by an excellent programme of
vocal music. Miss Eetha Prewett rem
dered charming vocal selection and
Mrs. S. V. Werntz sang with pleasing
upon and made short address, in
which he expressed pride in the sterling
worth OF his co-laborers in the minis
terial field, mingled with regret that the
people of Livingston must lose Rev.
Hickman and the church circles of the
city lose man whose influence for
good was not confined to his own creed
or kind. The address was responded to
by Rev. Hickman, who spoke with feel
ing of the many kindnesses that had
been shown him here and bestowed
many compliments upon his congrega-
ton, even to inventing a generous fic-
ton that gave his church the praise
and himself the blame for the gratify-
ing successes and the few failures of
the past year. Mrs. Hickman was called
upon and was particularly happy in the
response that she believed in delegating
the talking to the men. Rev. Jenkins
next made pleasing address, which
was regarded as one of his best efforts
and showed that any confidence in his
powers of oratory, at least, was not
misplaced. Mrs. Jenkins was invited to
address the gathering and responded
with the statement that her ambition
t that particular time was to be a lis
tener rather than a speaker DR.. r. NJ.
Leslie sang a solo with good effect, and
very pleasing recitation was given by
Mrs. c. A. Calkins. The entertainment
was greatly enjoyed by those present
and the reception feature of the event
was much appreciated by all. Rev
Hickman has been absent from the city
for the last two months attending to his
duties as chaplain of the upper house of
the Sixth legislative assembly and his
many friends greeted his return to this
city with a cordially unaffected and
sincere. AS a preacher, man and citi-
zen he stands at the head and the peo-

from the field where his active and
Jealous labors have borne such excel
lent fruit during the past He and his
family leave in a few days for their
new home in Bozeman. Rev. and Mrs.
Jenkins depart for Anaconda in a few
days.

l.. A. Hefferlin, mother of Mrs. Coyan.
Beautiful decorations formed of flowers
