night at 8 q. m. and at the ap-

to order by the class president l..
D. Tisdel and after a song ser
vice, prayer was offered by Rev.

president in a few we'll chosen
words, presented the new pastor
to the gathering for a short talk;
Rev. Hill made a strong appeal
to the men of his new charge to
stand firm with reference to their
duty to God and His Church and
asked the men to support his eff
forts as pastor by their prayers;
among the many good things
spoken, Rev. Hill said that he
was not given to fattery, that he
spoke his honest convictions al
ways. and that though he had
spent most of his life in the
ministry and had just finished a
continued service of four years
and five months as Presiding
Elder. he could say unhesitating-
ly that from his brief acquain-
tence, he had never in any pre-
vious charge as fine, noble ard
kind body of men as at this
place.
After the pastors address,
announcement were made that
refreshments had been prepared
and were waiting in the adjoin- ,
ing room, but just before going
the president read a communi- !
cation which was presumed to
come from some of the good
ladies of the church, as follows:
mo great end was ere achiev-
ed,
You'll never again begin it,
With any hope of success at
all,
Without a woman in it."
While we men know that the
good women are always ready
with their help and kindness,

a little real good help did come
in from that source.

speaking for him In St Pencras:
when my father arrived the crowd

It seemed physically impossible for him

suggested that he should go over and
not through the crowd. This extraor-

was lifted up with a gentle shove and
