REV. L. D. MITCHELL TO TEXAS
ConcrOss Church and Community De-
pore His GOing-PersonaIs.

Coneross. Nov. 2l.-Special: Rev.
l.. d. Mitchell occupied the pulpit at
ConeroSs Baptist church Sunday af-
ternoon and preached his farewell
sermon at this church, taking for his
subject Doing the will of God" He
held, as he always does, the undivid-
ed attention Of his hearers as he eX-
pounded the truths Of the Bible in a
plain and fOrceful manner. Mr. Nit
cheIl VIII leave the latter part Of this
week for Fort Worth, Texas, where
he Will enter the Southwestern Semi
nary, where he spent some few
months about three years ago. At
that time his health broke down, fore
ing him to give up his studies and re-
turn home. He seems to be enioying
Sood health at present, and we hone
and pray that God will STRENGTHEN
him and hold him up if it is His will
so that he may he enabled to com
plete his ministerial education, which
seems to be his whole hearts desire,
in order that he may do more fully
the will of God.
Mr.. Mitchell'S friends are number
ed by his acquaintances, all of whom
wish him much success in his work
IN the seminary. In his going away
we feel that he will be sadly missed
in our community at large, and espe-
claily in our church, of which he has
been for the past five years an earn
est pastor. We feel that we have
lost shepherd whose place will be
hard to fill. He is a deep thinker,
and besides being a good preacher
and pastor, believes in having push
and energy IN the affairs Of the
world. He mas been to us all that
the word pastoI implies. He will not
only be missed by our church, but
also in our social circles. He pos
sesses many lovable traits Of charac-
ter and is admired by a large circle
OF friends. He is also a young man
OF brilliant social accomplishments
We sincerely hope that, should Mr..
Mitchell find it possible to be our
pastor again, that while he is prepar-
ing to give us better service, we will
also be preparing to give him a bet
ter reception and not only give him
two Sundays in the month, but our
full time. People usually wait until
one dies and then put flowers on
their graves, but we feel like be-
slowing the flowers and good wishes
as he leaves. May Gods richest
blessings rest upon him and his work
wherever he may go.
