ISOLATION with the women of the
church. He said he had been del
egated by the Ladies Aid Society to
present to her the beautiful token of
silver knives and forks as an ap-
probation of her services and her
goodness. In concluding DR.. Seaton
said that the brethren of the church
had got together and purchased for
the pastor a gold watch and chain
to take the place of the timepiece
he had carried so long, and with 1t.
he said, their best wishes and which
represents a wealth of feeling that
they could not express.
Mrs. Wilkinson could but feebly
express her thanks, and it was evil
dent hat her heart was too full to
expires in words what was in her
mind.
DR.. WILLIAMSON responded and it
was evident that he had a terrible
Juggling at his heart strings in try
ng TO say the last words with his
good friends. He said he would con-
fess that they were hurrying to get
away as the prolongation was more
than they could stand. In referring
to the church construction, he said
there were always two sides to a
question and that previous speakers
had been a little strong in the praise.
He felt that not SO much could have
been accomplished but for the hear
ty cooperation of the official board,
and as he looked back over the meet
ings, he said that at no time did q
question ever come up in the meet
ing but what it as acted upon unan-
mously. Concerning his work in
Mitchell, DR.. Wilkinson said that he
did not have any particular method
of procedure-that he worked at
his job just as it came to him every
day in the week. He found hearty
cooperation from all sides, both
from the superannuated preachers
living in the city, from the faculty
and from all sources. He felt that
the biggest future vas yet before the
Methodist church, and in closing ha
wanted to impress upon the people
necessity of standing by the new
pastor, and with that unity of our
pose he was sure there would be no
faltering in the future success of the
church.
The ladies of the church served
light refreshments and when that
was finished the pastor and his wife
received the farewells of his former
congregation in which tears mingl-.
ed with the goodbyes and the ex-
change of blessings.

which was served in the prayer room,
of the church. After supper the large
company gathered in the audience
room and after singing, scripture

teresting responses by letter.

ways intensely active, reported an

while in addition to all of this the

ANNUAL CHURCH Meeting
Congregational Society Held the An
nual Meeting Wednesday Night
and Made Reports.

The annual meeting of the Con-
gre gational society was held in the
basement Of the new church Wed
nesday evening, which drew out a
good attendance among the mem
bers and friends. Pastor Bowdisn
presided over the preliminary ex-
ercises.
The greatest emphasis of the year
has been held on the erection of the
new church building. and which is
now i'm a nearly finished condition,
enough SO that the basement can be
utilized for church and Sunday
school services. 1t is expected that
the new home will be ready for dedi-
cation about the middle of January,
although it is not definitely decided
upon. The financial report of Treas
urer Cattrell showed that the benev-
olences of the church thav been kept
up, all the current expenses of the
church have been paid, and a con-
siderable amount of money has been
paid in toward the new church build
ing.
The Woman's Missionary Society
in its report indicated that it was
in a iourishing condition, that it has
raised quite a good deal of money,
and we'll sustained the interest in a
systematic study of mission fields.
The Ladies Aid Society has just
passed through one of it's NEST sue
cessful years, and has reason to be
proud of the large amount of money
that it has raised by means of sup
pers, bazaars, home bakeries, etc.
There has beer a good gain in the
membership of the church and of the
Sunday school, and the outlook
fer the coming year is very hopeful.
s.. Cattrell was reelected as the
church treasurer, and Mrs. X. E.
Ruth was reelected as the clerk.

the later Peter Marquart, past grand
master of the Odd Fellows, who was
killed here by a switch engine took
place this afternoon from the Method
list church. Mr.. Marquart was a men,
Der of the Presbyterian church, but
the Methodist church was chosen for
the services on account of it's great
er seating capacity. Grand officers
from different parts of the state were
here to attend the funeral. Mr.. Mar
quart was we'll known through this
part of the state, and the funeral
was one of the largest ever held
in Madison.

PREsBY1ERIANs FEAST
With Fitting Exercises they Bid
Adieu to the Old Year and Well
come the New.

The Observation-Disclosures given af
the Presbyterian church drew a large
attendance n the occasion will long
be remembered as one of the most
enjoyable in the history of the
church. The entire building was
thrown open for the New Year OBJ
servance, and despite the severity of
the weather, many turned out to en-
joy the rich repast and excellent mus
ical programme freely provided. The
added much to the a"ttractiveness of
the ga festive scene.
Supper was served between $50
and 1890, after which came the
feast Of music II song. The follow
ing took part in the programmes:
appropriate New Year decorations
Misses Ella Preston, Florence Mac
murray, Elsie Parrot, and Lena Fon-
ken, and Messrs. L.. A. Williams and
Harry Williams, Wallace Macmur-
ray was the accompanist of the even
ing and proved himself a master in
his art. The singers were all raptur-
ously encored and response after re-
spouse followed. A fine new piano,
generously furnished by Mr.. j. L.
Morgan, was used on this OCCASION.
During the periods of intermission
the young people met in the lecture
room n INDUCED in various games,
some of which afforded an unusual
degree of merriment. Thus passed all
too quickly the final hours of the dy-
ing year.
When, at length, the hand of the
clock gave notice that the year 1908
was about to take its departure, to
make way for the new year which
was already stepping on the scene the
strains of the pipe organ filled the
church and rang out on the frosty
air. They were the Introductory notes
of the great D%oxology, and with one
common impulse the gathering arose
and sang it in an impressive manner.
and DR.. Macmurray offered a brief
prayer, closing with the benediction-
which was no soone uttered than the
bells began to ring right merrily and
the whistles to blow with a startling
vehemence turning the nights still
ness into tumult and calling for the
exchange of friendly greetings and
the customary congratulations.
