A Pastor Remembered on His Birthday.

On Dec. 6, 1906, the Organ and
Ebenezer congregations gave their
pastor, the writer, a most bounti-
full birthday dinner at the par
sonage at Organ Church. The
occasion was a most delightful
and pleasant one. More than a
hundred of the kind and thought
full members, together with Rev.
N. D, Bodie, pastor of the Union
charge, gathered to spend the day
with us and make glad our hearts,
Besides their kindly presence and
bountiful dinner of which all
present participated to their en-
tire satisfaction, the members
left for our future use wheat, corn,
oats, flour, ETC., aggregating an
amount, at a low estimate of not
less than $35. Recently at a
meeting OF the council of the two
congregations they increased our
salary 500. These tangible evi
dences Of appreciation on the part
of these people whom we serve in
spiritual things greatly encourage
US. May this mutual, helpful
and pleasant relation continue in.
definitely. May the Lord greatly
bless the kind and thoughtful
donors.
