Douglass spoke with much emotion
yesterday morning at the Congrega-
tional church the words of farewell to
congregation that has known and
loved him for many years. The basis
of his remarks was in the eighteenth
verse Of the, twenty first chapter Of
John and he applied the words to his
own personal present experience. He
reviewed briefly the principal points in
his long career Of usefulness, his birth
and boyhood in Michigan, his college
life at Jacksonville, Ill, his call to the
ministry in the church at Usage, Iowa,
where he labored for fourteen years,
his call to the work Of home mission
airy superintendent Of the state OF
Iowa, which place he filled for twenty
five years, and his subsequent life and
the change Of habitation in these clos
ing years. He voiced his deep regret
at the necessity Of a severance OF the
close relationship he had held with this
church and community and his faith
in the future Of this church. He re-
affirmed his belief in the Apostles
creed which he repeated with strong
emphasis. After the communion serv-
ice in which Pastor Cross was assisted
by DR.. Douglass the old friends crowd
ed around to give another handshake
and God bless you" Dr.. Douglass
has his affairs about settled up here
and will start for the new family home
