The meeting at the South Columbia
Methodist church Sunday night was in
the nature of love feast and praise SER
vice. This was the last service Of the
past conference year, and report was
read by the pastor, Rev. j. A. Molloy,
complished during the year A large
audience was in attendance, and the
service was most impressive one.
No sermon was preached but short,
earnest talks were made by the pastor
and others. and an appropriate musical
programme was rendered.
The report made by the pastor was
the best that has ever been sent up to
Conference from South Columbia. 1t
showed that every cent had been paid
on the pastors salary and other collec
tions, and that without taking single
public collection. Mt. Olivet church,
which has also been in charge of Mr.
Molloy paid out everything in full,
and both churches together contributed
for all purposes 81, 3B5. Altogether,
the report was most excellent one.
and one of which both the pastor and
his people might well be proud
AT the conclusion of the service a
rising vote was taken as to the desire
of the congregation for the return of
Mr. Molloy next year, and everybody
in the house stood up.
Mr. Molloy is a young, consecrated
divine, and he has labored faithfully
and untiringly during the past year
for the upbuilding of the church and
the advancement of the Christian relig
ion. That his labors have not been in
vain is shown by the report made
last night.
