Rev. Gibbons Honored

Romney April 14.-Rev. G. A. Glib
bons, rector of this parish, has received
from w. A. Barnes, rector of Christ
church, Fairmont, and the ladies of
that parish, the baptisimal font which
was placed in that church during Mr..
Gibbons rectorate in that paris b, from
1875 to 1885. The font will be placed
in st. Stephens church in this place.
The members of Christ church, Fair
mont, have further attested their es-
TEEN for Mr.. Gibbons by inscribing the
new font in that church, which takes
the place of the one sent here, as fol-
lows: SIN loving remembrance of the
rectorate of the Reverend George A i.
Gibbons, 1S75-1SS5."
The new font for the Fairmont
church is of Italian marble, elaborate
ly carved, and the cover is of oak and
brass, inscribed as above. This is a
handsome tribute to this good and
faithful rector, and shows that al
though twenty-five years have passed
since he was the Official head of that
church he is still remem bered, and his
memory will be perpetuated by the in
scription on this new font. 1t is a
well deserved tribute and comes with
pleasing significance in the sunset
years of an active life. May he be long
spared to continue his labor of love in
this parish.
