A Tribute to Rev. R. B. Order.

The following notice is from the Todd
County Times, published at Elkton, KY.
The subject is son of Mr.. w. c. Gri-
der, well known in Columbia, and who
lis soon to become a resident of Mont
pelier, this county:
ION last Sunday night Rev. R. B.
Order closed four years faithful
service with the Methodist church in
Cadiz, and will be sent to another field
of labor by the Louisville Conference
now in session at Russellville.
1.-The, church here never had a more
popular pastor and one who was more
successful in his labors for the better
ment of the congregation and the spir-
itual welfare of the community. With
true conception of astor's duty, he
has always kept hirself in touch with
the people, and the man of the world
as we'll as the true Christian has al
ways realized that in him he had true
friend, and none ever asked his advice
and assistance who did not get it.
There is now in Cabiz and surrounding
community strong spirit of Christian
union and brotherhood, and no one has
contributed more to this one thing than
r. B. Order. He is a Methodist in
every sense of the word and is devoted
to his church, yet his labors have been
for the betterment of the world and
the cause of the Christian religion
The people of Cadiz, irrespective of
church utilization, love and admire him.
and if his return to this place were left
to the people of the town, we are sure
that not a single person in the entire
community but would ask for his re-
turn But the laws of the church make
this impossible. as four years is the
limit that one pastor can serve one
charge without charge.
''As monument to his effort during
the four years he has served the people
of this plare, one of the most attractive
houses of worship to be found in any
town of the size in the State now adorns
the site of the Methodist church in this
city. and church alive and thoroughly
awake is left to greet whoever may be
sent to this field to succeed him. Where
ever he may be sent by the Conference,
the best wishes of the entire town
will go with him and his excellent wife
for their unbounded happiness and sue
cess, and the prayers of the Christian
people of the entire town and communi-
ty are that the Spirit of God may con-
tinue to bless and guide them"

of Columbia, of all denominations,
when the news reached here that Rev.
I. l.. Hulse and Rev b. NJ Currie had
been returned by Conference to this
work. They are both Jealous workers
in the Masters cause, and very much
liked by every body, and it would have
been source of general regret had
they been removed.
Rev R L. Talley, who has been the
Evangelist for Columbia district for
two years, was sent to Monticello and
will be the pastor of the Church of that

pie of Wayne county. They will leave
