So surprised was the recipient OF

has made during the fourteen wears Of
his ministry in Lancaster.
The auditorium was filed on Sunday
night to hear his farewell sermon, as
was also at the services Sunday morn
ing.
Pastors of the Methodist and Presbv-
terrain churches occupied the pulpit with
Brother finders Sunday evening. they
having adjourned their services to meet
with him, whose services have not been
confined to the interests of his own
brotherhood only, during his fourteen
years of ministry here, but have been
freely given to every enterprise and
organization when would rebound to
the uplift of the community.
A feeling of profound regret per-
vades the entire community at the de-
parture of Brother finder and his es-
teemed family.
At the services Sunday night, this
feeling found expression in beautiful
tributes paid by Rev. II. S. Hudson.
of the Presbyterian church and Rev.

with regret and reluctance, but feels
