e. Baker, met in the Baptist church
ON Tuesday afternoon, and after

dates conversion, call to the ministry
and views of the Christian doctrine,

Rev. Mr.. Dyer and Rev. Mr.. Mul-
hern, both former pastors of the First
Baptist church. of this borough, were
unable to be present to taKe part in
theace ceremonies as expecteds
The ordainingsof William Baker'was
q great event in this borough as he
was born here and started on his career
as a Sunday school scholar in the
church In which he was ordained last
evening after the most rigid question
ing in the afternoon ceremonies. 1t
was thought by some of the members
of the church that he would not be
able to answer some of the questions
that were asked, but he did splendid
ly and covered himself with glory in
more than one sense of the word. The
ceremony was beautiful The church
was beautifully decorated with palms
/. and daisies. The choir was stationed
behind two embankments of daisies
and the congregational singing was
rendered there by them. The effect
was fine. Miss Maggie Jackson pre-
sided at the organ. Mrs. Irwin sang
the solo Behind the Gates Of Para
dise' very sweetly, with Miss jack
son as aooompanist. Deacon Thomas
Baker, the young mans father has
been looking forward to this event
for long time and today found him
quite able to be taken in carriage to
a friends house and to the church to-
witness the the great triumph OF his
son although he has been very Ill In
deed. He witnessed both ceremonies
and stood it very we'll SO far and no
bad results are feared, for, as his
daughter, Mrs. Anderson, feelingly
expressed 1t to her father, God is
too good to let any harm come from
it 4"
On Wednesday morning Rev. Will
lam Baker starts for the east, where
he will probably settle. He has had
three calls, and may accept one in
New Hampshire. He looks very
young aud bright and has pleasing
personality. We congratulate him on
his splendid success and extend our
best wishes for the future
