in Bloomington will be just as good

Sentiments of the Church.
On behalf of the Central M. E.church
Rev. l. o. Kemble spoke briefly in
words of praise and gratitude to their
pastor. While he said they had a feel
ing of regret at the separation, yet
they recognized the military aspect of
the church and when the commander
has said to their pastor to go and to
another man to come in his place, they
believed there must be a reason and
would submit to the rulings of the con-
ference. He believed that the church
has occasion to emphasize leadership.
However, to be qualified for work in
the church he believed one must have
three endowments in his makeup
Christian character, leadership, and
common sense, all of which he attrib-
uted to Rev. SomeTville. The church
feel gracious for the condition in which
he is leaving them, free from debt and
clothed in a new suit. They rejoiced
that he has been permitted to live in
their midst as long as he has, and
that they have been able to love each
other as brothers and sisters in Christ.
Tokens Of Esteem.
On behalf of the ladies of the church
Mrs. C. II. Lee presented beautiful
diamond brooch to Mrs. Somerville, and
with more lengthy speech f. Il. Cor
dan presented an elegant engraved
gold watch to Rev. Somerville as a
token of gratitude from the church
which he has served so long and
| faithfully, He said that the board
had at first considered giving him a
glove, but they knew he would not
wear it, for it is not his custom to
handle things with gloves on. They
could not give him money, for he
would spend it; no clothes could be Sc.
cured large enough, and so they were
content to extend to him the glad
hand. He referred to Illinois as his
former home and said to Rev. Somer-
vile: "A sucker | am, sucker you
viii be-"

KINDLY REMEMBERED.
Farewell Is Said To Rev. and Mrs
]. W. Somerville.

With an unusual spirit of union and
good feeling there assembled an i'm
mense crowd in the Methodist Episco-
pal church Monday evening to bid fare
well to their pastor, Rev. J. w. Som
ervile, and his family, who leave to-
morrow for their new home and his
future charge at Bloomington, Ill. The
church was decorated with ferns
which added to the beauty of the in
terror of the newly frescoed building.
The guests were received at the side
entrance to the church where they
were conducted through the Sunday
school room and asked to pass around
the semi-circle which had been ar
ranged and to shake hands with Rev.
Somerville and his family and the of.
licers of the church before passing
into the audience room of the church,
where the program occupied most of
the evening.

by Rev. e. R. Purdy, and song by
the congregation, Rev. s. H. Zendt was
introduced by j. b. McCurdy, chairman
of the evening, as a representative of
the ministerial association of the city.
In his ever pleasing way and With
his numerous well told anecdotes free
ly interspersed with his remarks, Rev,
zendt interested his hearers as he
spoke in complimentary terms of the
work of Rev. Someryille and of his at,
titude towards his brother pastors.
The things that bind the ministers one
to the other. said Mr.. zendt, is not
only the similarity of their work, but
their common trials and their common
Joys. Rev. Somerville has always
stood for what is clean and right and
he has done It in a straightforward
way and in way to win the respect
of all thoughtful people. The speaker
said that the departing pastors atti.
