18TH BIRTHDAY OF
BELOVED MINISTER
Rev. |. H. Anding Celebrates
Anniversary-Fifty Years
in Ministry.


On the eighteenth instant Rev. l.
H. Anding, who is now an honored
Brookhaven residentepassed his 18th
milestone on life's journey.
There was just as much or FAM
lily reunion at the Anding home as
was possible all of the seven child
ren coming once again together ex-
cepting Colonel Sheldon w. Anding
who was detained by his military du-
ties at the University of Pennsylva-
MIA; but who called for his father
over the telephone and gave as his
wish Numbers &C., 25-26 VS.. Remem-
brances were received from friends
and kindred away.
There were nineteen present at
the birthday dinner table during the
service of which Mrs. Dunn, of
Summit;-@-Eeland Anding, Grange
Hall and Claude, of Flora, spoke
beautifully Of the occasion that in
spired their presence. Other child
rem present were Mrs. Beulah Good
loe, of, Flora; F. Kerfoot Anding and
George Truett, Of Brookhaven.
Mrs. Anding in a few impromptu
words spoke of the pleasurableness
Of the occasion and admonished the
children to keep the family name
unsullied. The finale to these men
tai feasts was the tooth-pick course
by the host in which he gave some
humorous incidents in his preacher
experience and then tenderly refer
red to the vacant chairs.
Mr.. Leland Anding's toast follows:
Seventy-ive miles on the road of
life,
Some of them long and SO weary;
Let us trust that the miles, we
hope yet to come,
May all be glad, bright and
CHEEKY.
Recently the Baptist Record re-
ferring to Mr.. Anding's half century
in the ministry contained among
other beautiful expressions, the fol-
lowing:-
mot only as preacher of the
gospel has he been choice spirit.
AS pastor he is remembered for his
close and tender sympathies; and
for his happy, joyous nature which
has ever been dispensed in so tact
full way as to uplift and brighten
the dreariest. Gloom is unknown to
him and his keen sense Of wit has
saved many a trying situation. In
addition to being preacher, a pas
tor, friend, his ability to WELD a
pen has made him most worth
while asset to his state and his de-
nomination. How we trust the
world will hear from him in a large
measure by this means still"
Our community will wish to join
in all glad good wishes for continued
prosperity and happiness as Bro. And
ing goes joyously on toward the goal
Of his high calling,
