Rev. Major and Wife
Pounded" Last Night

Rev. j. A. Major, pastor of the
Myrtle st. church and his estitnabIe
wife were pounded" last night ard
OF the happy affair he said:
I'VE have experienced another
pounding of that generous sort
which makes the parsonage pantry
look like corner grocery store 1t
may be oldfashioned but it is not
cut of fashion and we sincerely trust
1t will never go out during the pres.
ent 'dispensation of grace. There
may come time during the happy
Millennial age, of which we hear 50
much, when such things will not ill.,
terest us, but just now under pres
cnt conditions and limitations and
with so much clinging to us that is
merely human and natural, the old
fashioned pounding makes an ire
s!stable appeal. 1t reminds us that
Notwithstanding the commercial
grind and the social whirl there are
still those who love the cause of
Christ and his ministers for their
works sake. OF course we were
surprised, we always are, when the
crowds came last evening with mer-
Try greetings and arms full OF bun
dies, and We did not know just what
was the proper thing to say or do
hut when they left We had very
comfortable feeling that We are not
isolated but belong to great and
victorious army that are children Of
the Xii We are working for a
cause that is worth while and the
BIZ ssing and glory of the service
looms larger before us as the days
60 by.
These Dixieland and Myrtle st.
Methodists are endearing themselves
to us and we feel like laying our
selves cut in the service which all
true Christians love. We trust their
loyalty and service will be rewarded
bv abundant success.
Il wish to say in this connection
that while am in Lakeland by tie
appointment of Bishop Denny and
while the appointment came to ne
unscught, accepted it willingly and
will exert myself to assist in the
spiritual and material development
Of the city. While | am Method
list itinerant, | consider Lakeland ny
home town and have great faith in
its future. +"
