try now. The health in and around |
McMinnville is very good, with the
exception of bad colds
Rev. T. R. Curtis and family left |
Tuesday morning for Lebanon, the |
new charge recently assigned to Bro
Curtis. The best wishes of host of
McMinnville people of all denomina-
lions follow them to their new home.
Notwithstanding the heavy showers
and later the beclouded sky ON the pre-
ceeding Friday evening, large num-
Der of all denominations assembled at |
the Methodist Church to say Good |
bye to Brother Curtis. There was
delicious lunch provided by the La
dies Society. The young people were |
all there, not only Methodists, but |
representatives from other churches, |
and a sufficient number of adults to !
give dignity to the reception. Revs.
J. B. Cowden, L. R. Hogan, B. A. |
Pendleton and Messrs. F. H. Mercer |
and j. f. Jones spoke, the gist of it !
all being that the outgoing pastor was
better liked as one knew him more,
there was personal attachment and
great good to the community, and the
coming pastor must be supported with
the same loyalty. These expressions
were entirAly unlocked for by Brother
Curtis, no announcement of after din
ner speeches having been made. He
responded with much feeling, declar-
ing he had never seen finer people
than those of McMinnville, but they
needed more religion. He asserted it
was the most beautiful town east of
the Rocky Mountains, but it needed
more vital godliness. The same sup
port given him shown to the new
preacher would advance the church in
power. Dwelling upon his life in the
ministry, he said he always found
love reciprocated. If the people here
loved him, it was because he loved
them. His address was sermon on
the sacrifice of self and conservation to
God.
