PASTOR REMEMBERED.
Pound Party" Given by Members OF
Congregation a Pleasant Surprise.

Last evening at half past seven
o'clock a large number of the mem
bers of the Methodist church met
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. K
Bull on Levee street Each one
present carried a mysterious parcel,
and all wore an air of mystery. At
our named the entire company
set out from the Bull residence, and
quietly wended its way to the home
of Rev. j. w. Rowland, the pastor
of the Methodist church, on upper St
Charles street Approaching the
gate as quietly as possible, the
gathering there made its arrival
known to the pastor and his family
by suddenly beginning to sing one
of the Sunday School hymns:
Christ Is the Sunny Side of Life. -
Although taken completely by
surprise, Mr. and Mrs Rowland
were entirely equal to the Occas-
expected guests in. The cordial wei
come extended became a very hearty
expression of thanks, as the mystic
riOus parcels retired to were de-
posted by each member of the party
on the tables in the parlOr and din
ming room. Each parcel contained
a pound of some good thing for the
larder of the pastors family, and
was designed to increase the joy
of living for the little family in view
of the coming Christmas holidays
After the pounding process was
ended, all joined in singing several
songs and some time was passed
thus very pleasantly Rev c. E. w.
Smith, who was a member of the
party, then led in a heartfelt prayer
for Gods blessing upon the work
of the new pastor, after which the
guests, who though unexpected had
been none-the-less welcome, dispers-
q
