Last Sunday evening all Freder-
icktown was out 20 do honor to Rev.
Otis Harter at his last appearance
in the Presbyterian church as its
pastor before he leaves for his new
field of labor at Delphos, Ohio. The
Baptist church held no preaching SER
vices on that day and the Methodist
services were held an hour earlier
that its people might join with the
Presbyterians at this time in its ex-
pressions of regret in losing a min
lister SO much loved and respected.
On going into the pulpit Rev. Har-
ter announced that he would not
preach sermon, but in modest,
humble manner reviewing the work
of his church here the past nine
years. With words heartfelt and
sincere he expresses his, regret at
leaving SO many good and tried
friends behind and thanked the
church people and the citizens of
the town for the great help they
had given him in the past years. Rev.
Thos. Hambly representing the min
istry of the other two churches told
of the regard in which Rev. Harter
was held by the pastors in the other
churches, commendation most fiat
tering for any man. He said 1t was
from the common talk of the street
that he had learned of the great i'm
provement brought to this Presbyter-
ian church in the matter of finances
of membership, and spiritual uplift;
that the genial disposition, sound
judgment and earnest Christian life
had placed Rev. Harter in a class
above the ordinary minister as usual
ly found in a place of this size. And
he expressed the sentiment of the en-
tire community when he said that /,
was with great regret that we give
up Rev. Harter and his estimable
family, and the Delphos church is &c
be congratulated on their wise choice
in securing such an able leader and
pastor. The church was filled to itf
limit and all gave the departing pas
tor a farewell shake of the hanc
with best wishes for his future sue
cess.
