An entertainment and banquet in

Tor, of Mt. Zion A. NJ. 'E. Church

DR.. Taylor has served the people
OF Mt. Zion for five years and ac-
cording to the laws of that Church
he cannot return as their pastor next
year and for that reason, the men,
bcrs and friends of Mt. Zion gave Il

silver bread tray, umbrella and sew
, oral other useful presents. The
people of the city IA we'll as members
OF Mt. Zion were out IN large num-
bers to bid goodbye to Dr.. Taylor
and wife. They have made good in
Roanoke and all regret that they
must go.
! After tho program Mr.. w. A. Reid
the chairman Of tho meeting invited
/ all to go down in the lecture room
where the banquet was spread and
it really was some banquet and the
service was Al. Tho young ladies
OF tho Church made good as wait
resses and served to the satisfaction
iof all an excellent menu and there
was enough and plenty for all. This
banquet was free to NIL and proved
tho greatest affair OF it's kind given
, In Roanoke for years.
! That DR.. Taylor and his good wife
were loved by all Roanoke there is
no doubt for they have made good
and the Church and all it's friends
arc proud Of it. 1t is hard to give
him up but there's is still hone as
DR.. Taylor owns n home in the city
and stands high in the Virginia Con-
ference. There still may be a way
that he can return and he says he
means to make Roanoke his homo
and go to Heaven from this city and
We think it's as good q starting point
as any we know. Mt. Zion Church
has set the pace, who will try to
follow?
Among those leaving Monday night
; for Portsmouth with DR.. Taylor and
wife in special car were c.. Howard
T. II. Traynham, DR.. J. II. Pinkard
and mother and all the A. M. T.
ministers west Of Roanoke who arc
members Of the Virginia Conference.
