REV. J. Z. JOHNSTON DEPARTS
Accepts q Call to the Presbyterian
Church at Wells.

A large congregation was present at
the Presbyterian Church last Sunday
evening, the occasion marking the close
of the ministerial mission of the Rev.
j. E. Johnston in Eureka. The services
were very impressive, and the regular
choir was augmented by extra singers.
Miss Christy Fulton was assisted at the
organ by Mrs. T. A. Burdick. Mr..
Johnston preached a very touching
farewell sermon, and at the close of
the services many expressions of regret
that he must leave were heard, testify
ing he's sincere feelings of every one.
Mr.. Johnston had been in charge of
the Presbyterian Church for nearly q
year and a half, and his pastorate was
filled with q charity to all and malice to
none, that commended him to M and
all, regardless of sect. So many of his
congregation have found it necessary
to leave Eureka during the past year,
that the Church revenue deprecated
from month to month, until the rector
was obliged to tender his resignation.
A few weeks ago he accepted a call to
Wells, Elko County, and left Tuesday,
with his wife and two little girls, to
locate there.
Eureka loses in Mrs. Johnston an ar
fist of great merit. The assistance she
has rendered several of the young folks,
gifted with the pencil and brush, was
an opportunity her coming made posi-
BILE, and Eureka's amateur painters will
miss her very much.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnston take with
them to their new home the best wishes
of many friends in Eureka, and the
people of Wells and vicinity are to be
congratulated on having secured Mr..
Johnston to look after their spiritual
welfare.
