PRIoE ONE GENT
THE FORMER PASTOR LEAVES
REV. t. E PETERSB BIDS FARE
WELL TO FRIENDS.
Much Beloved Pastor of Maryland
Avenue M. E. Church And
Wife Receive
Gifts.

The Rev. I. Il. Peters. for six
years the pastor of the Maryland Ave-
nue. Nj. e. Church. left Annapolis
with his family this afternoon ON the
3. 10 train for Baltimore, to take up his
residence at Waverly, one of the
suburbs of that city.
After the prayer meeting service
at the church last night, MIR. Peters
took leave of his people, and the rela-
tions of the minister and the congre-
cation, which have been of such a
pleasant nature, were severed. The
church was filled with one of the
largest congregations thai ever as.
sembled here 1t not only included
the church mem bership, but many
from other churches in the city as
we'll.
AT the close of the devotional exer-
cises Mr.. Joseph r. Pennell stepped
to the front ofIthe pulpit and in few
well chosen remarks, presented the
pastor, the Rev. L. Il. Peters. with
handsome new up.to.date Webster's
International Dictionary, 1908 edi-
tion, indeXed, aud Mrs Peters with q
beautiful silver fernery and reflector
mounted ON silver. Mr.. Pennell said
he presented these gifts on the part of
the congregation of Maryland Avenue
Nj. Il. Church. which congregation
Mr.. Peters had so nobly led in the
last six years, in manner none could
forget, and all would remember with
love and gratitude.
The gifts, Mr.. Pennell said. were a
small token of the high esteem an
sincere regard in which the former
pastor is held aud will always be-
gratefully remembered Mr. Peters
accepted the gifts for himself and
wife in 8 happy little speech, aud
said there was no congregation he
would rather serveithan that of Mary
land Avenue Church, sand no place he
would rather live than in Annapolis
Everyone present shook MIR. Peters by
the hand and said goodbye TO Mrs.
Peters. The leave taking was pecu-
liarly sad one, and there were many
moist eyes
Mr.. Peters has done more for Mary.
land Avenue Church than any other
pastor ever did, or ever can do. He
came TO it when the church was heav-
lily laden with debt. and by his own
individual efforts and his indomitable
will and persistency he wiped il out
completely, leaving the church entire
ly free from debt. In, his effort to do
this Mr.. Peters impaired his health,
and goes Eaway a physically weaker
man, yet perhaps spiritually stronger
one than when he came to Annapolis
six years ago. Ii is the wish of the
many friends of Mr. Peters that his
labors elsewhere may be lightened
and that he may take away with him
besides the blessing of his people. the
happy consciousness of duty we'll per-
formed
