CITY BIBLE CLASS
 SURPRISES DR. sLocuM
Nine Testimonials and Bag of Gold
 Presented Him Sunday.

The City Bible Class for Men held an interesting and unique session yes- terday. One hundred and fourteen centered in the fact that Dr. Joel B. Slocum, the leader of the class, would conduct the class for the last time before going to his new pastorate in
 After the opening exercises, and just as Dr. Slocum was about to begin the discussion of the hour. Col. Charles w. Gale, the president of the class. re- quested the pastor to allow him to the complete surprise of Dr. Slocum, there followed nine brief but interest ing addresses of appreciation of him and of his work as leader of the class. slightest intimation of what was about to happen The speakers, who were all members Of the class, were: Franklin H. Brown, A. F. Libby, c. D. Moves, Shepard B. Palmer, James L. Case, Horace Church and Col. C.. w. Gale. Through all these short ad- dresses ran one sentiment Of deep ap- preciation of and loyal friendship for Dr. Slocum and regret that the class and the city are to lose him. When it came to Col Gale, he made few chara cteriStic remarks and handed over to Dr. Slocum a purse, saying, as he did so. that he didn't know whether it contained iron filings or something better; that it was from the class as a token of esteem.
 Later, when Dr. S1ocum opened it, he found twenty-five gold pieces, each one worth five dollars.
 Dr. Slocum responded feelingly in reference to the generous gift and the still more generous spirit of friend ship that made it possible. The re- Iationship between Dr. Slocum and the class has been ideal from the first. When questioned about it by a Bulle- tin representative, pr. S1ocum said he never expected to find a more congen- ial and more interesting group of men anywhere; and that the revret of this separation will be shared as deeply by him as it could possibly be felt by the members of the class.
