thy of homage and reverence.

The Elsberry Democrat last
week used this paragraph:
Mrs. B. G.. Reavis and two
children left Saturday morning
for Holiday to join Ed Reavis,
who has been engaged in a meet
ing there, and after a short stay
will go to their new home in
Mexico. Ed. Reavis will fill
his engagements twice a month
until the first of the year at
which time he will close his
work as pastor of the Christian
church in Elsberry. He has
been an earnest laborer for the
cause of Christianity here,
having materially strengthened
the congregation in addition to
being largely instrumental in
building the new $14 600 church
which was completed and dedi-
Gated last spring. He has an
excellent family and the fact
that they have decided to move
from our midst is regretted not
only by members of Mr.. Reavis'
congregation, but by persons
of other denominations and
those outside the church as well.
