vice was held last night in honor Of

ing in this service. Seated on the
r. S. Bell, of the Presbyterian
Church: Rev. E. l.. Crawford, of the
Methodist Church; Rev. Mr.. Page of
the Episcopal Church. and Rev. Mr..
Gavin, Presiding Elder of this dis
trict
Mr.. Watkins briefly reviewed the
twenty-six months of his work here
and in words of tenderness told how
hard 1t was for him to sever his con-
nection with his people and the
town.
Mr.. Crawford in a few words ex-
pressed the deep regret he and his
people felt in his leaving and eulo-
gixed the faithful work Mr.. Watkins
had done, most worthy of which was
the part he had had in healing the
breaches between the churches, and
making the sweet Christian unity pos
sible that exists today.
Mr.. Bell spoke of the loss the en-
tire town was sustaining in his leav-
