Reception for the Rev. C. 1.
Trawn and Mrs. Trawin.
The reception rendered the Rev. and
Mrs. Trawin. Tuesday evening at the

gathering the church has witnessed
for some time. Big, little, old and
young and many friends from other
churches were there to wish the pas

have gone to take up their work al

The occasion was one of low and
sadness, as no one cared to say good
bye.
The Baptismal service preceded the
recitation. The pastor baptised sew
eral converts and received several into
the church by letter.
Standing in the, receiving line was

escort Rev. and Mrs. Trawin to the

ward at this time for few remarks
In an original poem she told how Mrs

and in behalf of the church presented
them with some knives and forks and
a beautiful library lamp. Mr.. Trawin
responded in a few remarks telling OF
his love and appreciation of the MEM
bers.
Music was furnished through the ev-
ening by the choir which was very
much enjoyed.

lated with red candles and carnations

greatly to the beauty of the table,
