CORDIAL GREETING
ACCORDED PASTOR
Mr.. LEWIS, WHO RESUMED PAS
TORATE OF FIRST METHO-
DIST CHURCH, GIVEN
WARM WELCOMES
Several Ministers Gave Way TO Him
Sunday Night, and Their Com
gregations Worshiped at
the First Methodist.

/
Rev. T. w. Lewis, who after an alb
sence of four years returned to Co.
lumbus to resume the pastorate OF
the First Methodist church Sunday
received a most cordial welcome, OF
which any man might well feel proud
/ The news of his appointments to fill
the pulpit left vacant by the resigna-
tion of DR.. Shoaff was joyously re-
] ceived, and the same feeling of JOY
was evinced in the welcome: given
No more popular man ever occupied
the pulpit of the First Methodist, and
the members of the congregation and
the public generally are glad to again
have him in their midst.
| Mr.. Lewis reached the city last
Saturday night, and conducted his
first service Sunday morning. He de-
| livered fine sermon, and took occa-
sion to thank the people for the cor
dial welcome extended him. He said
that he was glad to return to Colum-
| bus, as the years he had spent here
were filled with pleasant recollections
of both place and people, and that he
counted them among the golden years
resuming the pastorate of the First
Methodist church, he was assuming a
grave responsibility, as the church
was not only larger and the work
therefore more exacting than during
his former pastorate, but the bishop
had evinced great confidence in him
by again sending him to such an i'm
portant church, and he would ear
nestly endeavor to demonstrate the
fact that this confidence was not mis-
placed by serving the people faith
fully and we'll In spirit of leyity
Mr. Lewis said that the necessity for
preparing an entirely new lot of SER
mons would be forced upon him, de-
claring that as the people were fa-
miliar with all his present stock he
would be afraid to deliver any of
them here.
On Sunday evening there was
union service in honor of Mr.. Lewis.
The evening services at the First Bap-
tist and First Presbyterian churches
were abandoned, and the members of
the two congregations attended the
First Methodist church. Mr.. Hewitt,
the pastor of the First Baptist, has
very sick child, and was therefore
unable to attend, but Mr.. Hill, the
pastor of the First Presbyterian, was
present, and took part in the services.
There were large congregations
present at both the morning and
evening services, Mr.. Lewiss work
in the local field having been most
ausipciously resumed.

laws, and it remained for Winfred
Illinois Central system, to evolve this
system of delivering wet goods to his
customers.
Van Dusen is, or was, employed as
news agent between New Orleans and
Memphis. The system he evolved was
to dump the contents of fancy pop
corn boxes before starting on his run
and fill them with half pint bottles
of whiskey, which he sold to bibu
lously inclined passengers at fifty
cents per box.
Van sDusen worked his trick c1ev-
erly. leaving a little pop corn in the
top and bottom of the box in order to
conceal the liquid contents, and he
was doing thriving business when
Detective Fred Ostenreider happened
to notice the growing popularity of
pop corn and made an investigation,
with the result that Van Dusen was
taken from the train at Grenada,
turned over to the local authorities,
given a heavy fine, and afterward dis
charged by the company. The au-
thorities decided to suspend the thir-
ty-day jail sentence, and Van Dusen
paid the fine and departed for his
home in New Orleans
