HON0RED BY S. S.
CLASS FRIDAY NIGHT
Social Given BY Mems Class Of Third
Third Street Church to Express
Their appreciation Of Mr..
Carl DOdds, Teacher.


The Brotherhood Glass of the Third
Street M. e. Sunday School made new
record for excellent social fellowship
and true appreciation for real leader
last evening The occasion was
brought about by reason of the early
departure of their devoted teacher
Carl Dodds The committee composed
of the class president, Duke White,
and Messrs H. c. Pollitt, F. II. Spen-
Ger and ]. A. Hill had every thing in
fine order when the hour for the party
arrived. While gotten up on short
notice the larger part of the class
which has an enrolment of about fifty
were present. The Sunday School Su-
perintendent presided.
After the singing of America and
prayer by the pastor, the superintend-
ent stated the object of the meeting
and gave expression of his apprecia-
ton of the worth of Mr.. Dodds to the
Sunday school organization, to the
church and to the community in gen.
eral. Mr.. H. Carr Pollitt was then
presented as spokesman for the Broth
erhood class. In few well chosen
words he paid fine tribute to the true
worth of Mr.. Dodds as a teacher. His
heart to heart contact with the men
from Sunday to Sunday had made bet
ter men of them, and had built the
class from a half dozen men in an OBJ
scure corner, to one of the big mems
classes of the city, meeting in a room
all fitted out expressly for their use.
Mr.. Pollitt assured their teacher that
the best wishes of the class and their
prayers for his future success would
attend him in his new field of labor.
Rev. Peters spoke of the great in
SEPARATION Mr.. Dodds had been to him
as pastor by his ever being ready to
aid him with suggestions for the work
and willing to cooperate in every good
move.
Mr. H. c. Curran, welcome visitor
and invited speaker, was next intro
duced. He spoke of the worth of a
true Christian to the business life of
the community, saying that in all his
experience he had not known man
coming to our city who had stood for
true Christian principles as had Mr..
Dodds. In beautiful language, char
acteristic of the speaker, he paid
most deserving and eloquent tribute to
the sterling character of the Secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce and
teacher of the Brotherhood class.
In reply to all that had been said
Mr.. Dodds spoke very feelingly with
emotion of his appreciation of what
had been said. He spoke of the help
the men of the class had been to him.
The personal touch with such an eX-
cellent body of men desirious to be
taught the word of God and how to
apply it to life, was a continuous in
SEPARATION to the teacher, bringing out
the very best there was in him. He
urged the men to take advantage of
the wonderful opportunity in Mays
Vile for service. He also spoke OF his
many happy associations in Maysville
and those who have been of special
help to him in his work. He spoke in
the most appreciative terms of the in
spiration, help and steadying influence
on his life of that of the president OF
the Chamber of Commerce, Mr.. Horace
]. Cochran.
Following the speeches of the even
ing the committee gave expression of
their appreciation of their teacher in
a very substantial way-ice cream and
rich, lucious homemade cake. How
those men did enjoy themselves! At
ter all had eaten to their fill, enjoinins
the time in social way, "Blest Be
the parting song. All joined heartily
in the song, then with a closing pray
er by Mr. Dodds the most pleasant at
fair ever given by the Brotherhood
class came to a Jclose.
Too much cannot be said in COM
mendation of the work of the commit
tee on arrangements. They did their
work well and were rewarded in see
ing their efforts appreciated, Mr..
Dodds will be with the class tomor
row and the Sunday following. That
large attendance is assured for these
two Sundays goes without saying
There will no doubt be many visitors,
friends of Mr.. Dodds, who will wish
to be in class the closing days of his
work in Maysville.
This article would not be complete
without word in praise for the good
wife of Mr.. Dodds who has won her
way into the hearts of all who have
heard her sing and have been associat-
ed with her in any way. To Mr.. John
Walsh was given the honor of saying
words in her praise, which he did with
the hearty approyal of all
