Obion Presbytery Of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Churh convened in Salem
church, two miles north of Gadsden, in
Crockett County, on last Tuesday at IL
a. m. and adjourned at p. m. Wednes-
day.
The opening sermon was preached by
Rev. ]. B. Oakley, Of Dyersburg, the
retiring moderator.
T. G. Callicott, of this county, was
made the Moderator, he being the first
Moderator selected from the laity for
many years. Three candidates for the
ministry were received under the care of
the presbytery, two candidates licensed
to preach and two young men, Jamie
McLeskey, of Fulton, and ]. c. Nc

Highest Prices for Produce.

The highest prices for country pro-
duce ever paid in the memory of the
present generation prevail now w. G.
Reynolds, the produce dealer, informs
us that all kinds Of meat and poultry
are double the market price of few
years ago. The farmer is nightly
pleased except when he has to buy and
then he goes up in the air."
The agriculturist gets a good round
sum for his wheat and corn, but he
must not complain when he pays the
advance in flour and meal, because we
all have to do that. Where the high
range will end we do not know, but
there is limit somewhere.

Edwin X. White announces in The
Commercial this week as a candidate
for Alderman of Union City. Mr..
White is a we'll known citizen and a
young man comparatively who is wide
awake, energetic and enterprising in
business and man of public spirit.
He enters the race as a representative
of no faction or special interest, but for
the purpose Of filling the position ac-
lively and conscientiously in the inter-
est of the public generally. In other
words he is ambitious to help along in
municipal affairs and pledges his best
efforts, if elected, to do his full part of

Resignation.

The one word which more than any
other describes this life is the word
transient. Everything on this ter
terrestrial sphere-every joy, every hope,
every relation-like shifting clouds up
on the horizon, is subject to change and
vicissitude.
Even nature about us must yield to
this universal law. The bud unfolds
into the flower, even whilst we look
upon it, withers and fades and dies;
winter melts into summer and summer,
almost before we know it, is wrapt in
the cold embrace of winter. Thus all
along our journey laughter is mingled
with tears and sunshine with shadows.

gregation now more than five years

labor; a field which, l have every as
surance, presents larger opportunities
if indeed it involves greater response
bilities. Whether this decision be wise
and right do not know-your gener-
Gus expressions of love and confidence,
l must confess, sometimes make me
tremble-but it is a decision which has
cost me hours of thought, of prayer, of
tears. Let me assure you that nothing
short of what | conceive to be positive
duty could lure me away from a min
istry SO sweet, so happy, so congenial
1t is, therefore, with this sense of i'm
perious duty, which somehow will not
down, that | present this morning my
resignation as minister of this church.
And let me say, my brethren, these
three things, which / trust may linger
with you as go:
First, | have given you the best serv-
ice of which | was capable-speaking,
of course, with the profound conscious
ness of human limitations. The aphor-
ism of the Apostle Paul-'As much as
in me is''-has been the guiding star of
my heart and hand during these pleas
ant and fruitful years.
Secondly, You have stood by me
nobly. You have given me your sym
patty; you have borne me up by your
prayers; you have co-operated with me
in every effort to build up the Masters
cause. You have been kind and good
to my family-almost to falkland
instead of assuming the exacting atti-
tude toward them as a preacher, which
is too often the case, you have treated
them rather as friend and neighbor.
There is not a jar or discord, faction
or friction, in the church and l go with
the asSurance-and | would not take
the world for it-that not person in
this church wants me to go.
In the last place, God has blessed our
fellowship together. More than two
hundred and fifty persons have been
brought into this congregation during
my ministry, among whom are several
of the most consecrated and efficient
members of our official board and
teachers in our Sunday School. / be-
lieve every member will say that the
church is in every way stronger to-day
than it was five years ago.
My brethren, shall ever cherish the
memory of my ministry here. These
walls, these trees about, the little par
sonage over there, which l have come
to love as my home and which, next to
my friends, / regret to leave most-all
The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1909-09-17

these shall ever be sacred and dear to
my heart
You have done for me all | have
asked, and far more than l have de-
served, and pray the Good Father
above that He will bless you as indi-
viduals, as a church and as a commu-
nifty and bring us all at last into that
blessed reunion where partings shall
never come again.
