ALDENvILLE PASTOR hS TIRES
FROM ACTIVE SERVICE
Rev. James Rainey, Pastor for Many
Years of the AldeDyille baptist
Church, Completes PastOrate
and Delivers Farewell


On Sunday, March 81, Rev. James
Rainey, the popular Baptist minis
ter, delivered his farewell sermon
at the charges of Aldenville, Clinton,
Sensor and Riverdale. He was
greeted by large congregations at
each of these places, where he has
been associated as pastor for many
years. HIS sermons we're of unus-
ual high order and were appreciat-
ed by all who attended, and we're lis
tened to by the closest attention.
Rev. James Rainey was ordained
on August 3, 1871, and since that
time he has served the following
charges Tunkhannock, Wyoming
Association, four years; Manatowna,
Philadelphia county, two years;
Bradford County association, evan
gelistic work, three months; Me-
hoopany, Wyoming Association, six
years and three months; Jackson,
Susquehanna county, six years; La
ceyville, Wyming county, ten years.
After that he took vacation of two
years, after which he took up the
regular work again and then served
this charge four years more, making
in all fourteen years; Aldenville, six
years, and six months. In all he has
been in active ministry for over
forty years.
Rev. Jas. Rainey located in Alden
vile on October /, 1905, and since
that time he has labored zealously
for the church and as a result he
has baptized about fifty persons into
membership with the church there.
He is a splendid speaker, a fearless
worker in the discharge of his duty
2 n a W. hnlnnr
in time of need. AS a citizen he is
probably one of the most favorably
known and highly respected in this
section of the state. In Mrs. Rainey
the pastor has an able and efficient
helper in all branches of church
work and particularly in w c. T. U.
work
Rev. and Mrs. Rainey have reared
splendid family of children which
consist of the following: Paul NJ, an
electrician in New York City; Pun
derson, also an electrician in AL
toona; Miss Rose E., of Scranton,
director of domestic science in the
Y. M. c. A. there; Everett, of Pitts
burgh, inspector of telegraph iron
work; Stanley, now attending the
Keystone Academy at Factoryville.
Rev Rainey, though past the al
lotted three score years and ten, is
still young, being remarkably well
preserved in all the faculties and
while he has given up the active ser
vice of the church, he will undoubt-
edly be heard from in many lines of
Christian advancement.
The home of David Hopkins, at
Aldenville, on Wednesday evening,
was the scene of a large gathering
of friends of the pastor who came to
bid him a farewell. The gathering
was in the nature of a farewell par
ty. Expressions of regret were
heard on all sides over the loss of
this well-known and beloved family
to the community.
In returning to their former
home in TunkhannOck Rev. Mr..
Rainey will carry with him the as
surance of high esteem in which he
is held at Aldenville and the knowl-
| edge of faithful service well per-
| formed.

He said Mr.. Menner had control of
the team. When they reached West
street the wagon struck the ditch and
collapsed, the right hind wheel had
every spoke broken and the wagon
dragged and swerved in this manner
to the east side of West street near
the curb where Menner was pitched
out and the wagon fell on top of

residence. About the ditch he stated
