Retiring Pastor Of the
Baptist Church Says He
Leaves Here With Good
Will Toward AII--WiII
Never Forget His
First Charge.

Last night the First Baptist church,
in Fayette street, was crowded to
hear the pastor, Rev. Percy Reed
Ferris, preach his farewell sermon.
Some in the congregation were COM
pelled to remain standing.
Mr.. Ferris took his text from the
First EpiAtle of Paul to the Thessa-
lonians, the third chapter and the
twelfth an thirteenth verses, "And
the Lord make you increase and
abound in love, one toward another.
aud toward all men, oven as We do
toward you.
''To the end he may establish your
hearts unblameable in holiness before
God, even Our Father, at the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his
saints."-
Mr.. Ferris said he was leaving
Perth Amboy as he believed that God
had called MIN to 20 to other fields to
labor. He spoke of his love for this
his first charge and said that he was
leaving here with good will toward
all, and hard feelings toward mono.
He spoke of his great sorrow in going
and said he would always love the
people of this congregation and that
the ties should never be severed.
He said that all things could be
done, no mattef how difficult, II one
would only trust in God and ask his
help.
tWhen / first came here four years
ago." the pastor continued, "the
church had mortgage of $4,000. Five
hundred dollars had been left by Miss
Manning, and when we staited in to
try to raise 81, 800 more sore people
said: II is a good idea, but you
will never succeed. ;. but you know
how we watched the burning Of note
after note until the debt had all dis :
appeared.
ST feel very grateful tc ward these
people who, when / came here q
single young man. opened their
homes to me and invited me to meet
with them. OF the people of the con
sre sation ] love them all, and in
some cases were we have had to differ
in regard to some things, I do not
hold any hard feelings toward them. T"
Mr.. Ferris said that until he had
received the call from Armenia, he had
expected to stay in this city for at
least this winter and he had laid out
plans in which he, with the Ihelp and
CO. operations of his people, would ap-
pear before the Excise Board and
show that body the necessity Of rails
ing the saloon license from $3.50 to ct
least $500, and he said he had many
other plans also in view, but the cnll
from God had come and in less than
{ rec weeks time it had been ans
wered.
In speaking about the growth OF the
church in the last four years Mr.
Ferris said that one hund'ed and
twenty three new members had been
enrolled, that some Of these had left
the city, others had broken away, but
still seventy-seven remained. These
people, he said, lie would always con-
slider as his own, and he would always
