Rev. Wilford p. Slnriner, A. B.

| Before leaving our town, the Official
Board of the NJ. E. Church addressed
the following letter to Rev. Shriner:
EMPORIUM, Pa, March 27th 1900
REV. WILFoRD p. SHRTNER, A. b.,
Dear Brother SiIriner:-We as members of the
Official Board oc the First Methodist Episcopal
Church, of Emporium, desire to express to you
our high appreciation of your distinguished SER
vices as pastor of our Church during the last
year, and our sincere regret that the authorities
of the Church have thought it best to remove
you to another field of labor.
Your good works in the community,your splen-
did ability in the pulpit, your exemplary conduct
as man and your high Christian character have
endeared you not only to the members of the
congregation but to the entire community, and
we but express the universal sentiment of the
people of Emporium in bearing testimony to our
regret at the suudering of the ties which have so
strongly bound us to you during the year of your
pastorate.
In this connection we cannot refrain from ex-
pressing our obligations to your excellent family
for their active and effective efforts in the affairs
of our Church and Sunday School, and our re-
gret at losing them from our Church and COM
muny. We want to assure you that you and
your family will always have a warm corner in
the hearts of the people of Emporium, and that
will rejoice with you in the success which you
so richly merit and which we are sure must await
you in the Church all love well.
Yours in Christian Faith and Fellowship,
Signed by every member of the Board.)
Rev. Shriner left this morning for
Bellefonte, his new field of labor. AS
pastor of his Church he has built it up
in all its departments, by his business
tact, good Judgment and eloquent
preaching.
| His preaching services and Wednes-
day night prayer meetings had the
largest attendance in the history Of the
Church.
The Epworth League is the next
largest League in the Williamsport
district.
The Junior League with him as Sup
| erintendent rose from a few members
a year ago to hundred to-day.
About S3, 500 was paid into the treas
ury Of the Church with ease and with
out friction. The missionary collection
was advanced a hundred dollars, $500
was paid for repairs on the church; the
interior OF the church was beautifully
frescoed. All his ability has been felt
and used to advance the spirituality of
his people, and the Church has never
been in as good condition, spiritually
financially, and socially as it is to-day.
BY his scholarly attainments, pleas
ing personality and strong manly
character, has won him host of friends
in our community, and we believe that
the departure of Rev. Shriner and his
excellent family from our town, is re-
GREETED not only by the members of
his congregation, but by the whole
community. The good wishes of our
people will follow him to his new ap-
pointment.

The New Pastor,

Rev. 0. s. Metzler, of Ashland, Pa,
who has been assigned to the Empori-
UNI NJ. E. Church, will arrive in town
to-day and will occupy the pulpit next
Sunday morning and evening. The
Rev. gentleman is very highly recon-
mended by the retiring Pastor, Rev.
Shriner, and other of our citizens ac-
quainted with him. He must be a star
man when the fact is taken into con-
sideration that he has filled his last
charge for five years. We welcome
the new pastor.

Probably in no country under
the sun is there q moro. lavish and
useless destruction Of forest trees
than in the south. The abundance
and variety Of the woods of our
forests has probably caused this
carelessness about its preservation
Farmers need more land or newer,
richer land, and without thought
of the timber growing upon it,
rccklessly cut down and burn val
.nable wood. HillSideS are often
cleared of thousands of dollars
worth of trees that would make
excellent lumber, and before the
stumps are gotten out the soilis
washed away, gnllies ruin the land
for agricultural purposes, and in
many instances it is not worth the
taxes paid on it.
This wholesale destruction and
waste of timber may not ID, felt by
the present generation, or the next
to come after us, but unless it is
soon stopped, in fiftyyears it will
severely tax the ingenuity Of man
to invent substitutes for wood. A
systematic telling OF trees which,
have attained tlleir growth, aad
planting new ones is What VIC need,
if we would have our country re-
main a desirable habitation for the
coming man. The same spirit
which actuated our forefathers to
struggle for the freedom and rights
we now enjoy, should inspire US to
preserve the natural resources Of
our land to save posterity from a
timber famine.
