Acts 20 :32, And now l commend you
to God and the word of his ".He
recounted the fact that both Paul and
his Master. in .parting from those
whom they had taught. entrusted them
to God and were confiden, that God
would care for the movement which
they had entrusted to them 1t is
in something of this same spirit that

to him., and seek for it, bending your
energies to do your share as He NAV
lead you"
Referring to a double mcaninx to

ply It, as the only nope for the better
lie on the world. The church nd @fa,,
commended as leading men to Coo. ana

REV. A. S. PHELPS
BIDS FAREWELL TO
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

Rev. Arthur S. Phelps preached his
farewell sermon at the First Baptist
church Sunday evening to a large con-
gregation which filled the body of the
house and many were seated in the
gallery. DR.. Phelps gave brief
resume of his connection with the
church. He said that nothing could
give him more joy than to see the
girls and boys whom he had baptized
during his stay sitting in his congre-
cation and that 20 years from now
their names would be on the calendar
as representing the pillars of the
church.
He said that on looking hack he was
perfectly conscious that coming from
20 years or more in the west, many of
ms methods which he used when he
hrst came must have seemed rather
radical, but that he never once heard
from an individual a word of reproof.
But that he also got some surprises
when the roll Of the church was read
10 him, and it was found that there
were seven dead ones on the roll, but
that now they were all live ones.
Dr. Phelps expressed his thanks to
the people Of Waterville, to the pas
tors and members Of the Second pan
.,st church, to the newspapers for
tneir cooperation. as we'll as the Cham
per OF Commerce. and said that it had
