REV. j. M. PIcKENS.

Rey. y. nj. Plckens, pastor Oh Cne
nj. E. Church, South, and family
left Tuesday to attend the annual
conference at Jackson this week.
Conference began Wednesday,
and is presided over by Bishop Jo-
seph S. Key of Sherman, Tex.
To what work Brother Pickens
will be assigned or who his sue
cessor will be can not be given, as
the appointments rest with Bishop
Key, who will announce them next
Monday.
Brother Pickens closed his four
years labor at Camden with the
services at the Methodist Church
Sunday evening. The church was
we'll filed, as Brother Pickens has
been popular pastor, beloved by
all, and it was realized that the
time had come for the pastor and
family to leave the work here and
90 elsewhere. The closing scene
of the services was touching, and
when the following resolutions
were read by Mr.. S. L. Peeler, they
were adopted by the entire con-
gregation rising to it's feet:
We, the committee, appointed by the
Sunday school this morning to draft and
report resolutions relative to the depart
ure of our pastor, Brother J. M. Pickens'
make the following report:
We feel that we have been greatly ia
yored and blessed during the last four
wears by the hand OF kind Providence, in
that we have had an able preacher, faith
full servant, kind and loving pastor, and
regret from the very depth of our hearts
that the time has come when we must
bid adieu to Brother Pickens and permit
him and his family to take theirdeparture.
We feel that it is the sense OF the Sun
dav School, the Church and the entire
community, that Brother Pickens has
been faithful to his every duty and that
he has served us well as pastor. In
the five hundred or more sermons he has
preached to this congregation he has ably
and forcibly presented the gospel i'll Its
purity, and by his efforts has greatly
strengthened the church numerically, II
nancially and spiritually therefore, be il
Resolved, that we deeply regret thai
the time has come when Brother Pickens
and his estimable family have to leave
us that we are deeply sensible OF the loss
we will sustain thereby and the great dill
fculty in finding man to take his pace
in the hearts of the people; but in bid
ding him adeu let each of us assure hin
that there will always be warm spot IL
our heart for him and family and that W.
: will always welcome him to our mlds
and in our homes.
That we cheerfnlly and unreser
recommend him to his new wor' ar
very strongest terms, and pray that sod
richest and most choice blessings ma,
follow him and family wherever the.
may go.
That copies of these resolutions be fur
nished-one to Brother Pickens and lam
ily, one to THE CAMDEN CHRONICLE AM
one to the Methodist.
