CoNERoss LOSES PASTOR.
Rev. l.. ID. Mitchell's Departure Deep
Iy Regretted-Local News.

Coneross, Sept. 22.-Special: Our
pastor, Rev. l.. D. Mitchell, delivered
an able sermon yesterday, taking for
his subject Heaven" His discourse
was decidedly vigorous and was de-
livered to a large audience, the house
being quite full, and the sermon was
thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated
by every one. This was probably Mr..
MitchelIs farewell sermon to the
Coneross church. He came to us four
years ago to assist in our protracted
meeting, and it was then that our
church fell in love with him, and ever
since then he has been our pastor,
and is dearly loved by the entire
church. He has done splendid
work here and at his other churches.
we ieel that he is to us all that is i'm
piled in the word pastor" His SER
mons and his work in the PRAYER
meeting, mission study and Christian
workers classes were indeed uplift-
ing, and his work among the bows
and encouragement to the societies
or the church was marked success
and greatly appreciated. Mr.. Mitchell
is young man Of sterling qualities,
a deep thinker, and besides being a
good minister he is also a young man
or brllliant social accomplishments
to prepare himself for better work
and we hope we will some time be so
fortunate as to have him as pastor
again. He will carry with him the
prayers and best wishes of our peo-
pie for blessings on his labors wher-
ever he is called to go.
