Methodist Church Notes
Rev. G C. Wier. Pastor. Residence
238 Olivier, Phone Alg. 1873.

Last Sunday we had only one
service. as we all wanted to attend
the big meeting at the Tabernacle.
The congregation had the privilege Of
hearing the Rev. Henry 7. Young,
one of our Pastor-Evangelist who
is one of the the leading preachers
of our Conference. He is at present
the Pastor at Natchitoches, where the
State Normal is located. Last year
there were twenty from his Church,
who volunteered for life service; his
two boys being in the number. Our
people greatly enjoyed his message.
The Junior Choir rendered two nice
anthems that we all enjoyed.
On Wednesday, Jan. Is, 1922, oc-
Cured the death of Mr.. Elisha Robert
Seal, a we'll known and honored
citizen of our community for the
past twenty-eight years. He had
been for the past sixteen years on
the police force and stationed at
Audubon Park, where he died just
after having completed the days
work. His body was found just a
few moments after he left the office.
He had gone from home in the morn
ing feeling better than usual, and
his death was a shock to his friends
and loved ones. His kindly presence
will be greatly missed. AS an indi
cation of his nature, he had just
taken a part of his pay and left it
for a less fortunate comrades as
sistance, and had started for his own
home when he has suddenly taken.
His life was one of kind deeds and
the last known thing that he did
was this act of kindness. He was
buried Thursday the nineteenth from
the Methodist Church by the Pastor,
Rev. c. c. Wier, who was a dear
friend. He was, however, a Baptist
by profession. His funeral was
largely attended by his family and
friends. Mr.. Seal was born in Han
cock county, Miss, March IS, 1854,
being at the time of his death almost
sixty eight. He was the father of
two children, Mrs. F. B. Flanders of
III Vallette Street. and Mrs. John
Anseman 215 Delaronde Street, these
together with his widow 313 Belle
vile, several step-children and grand
children mourn his taking. We ex-
tend our sympathy and prayers for
their consolation.
They mourn as those who have
hope in immortality and a life be-
yond the grave, for he had COM
mitted himself soul and body to Him
who is strong and mighty and whs
came again from the dead.
He could say like Paul: For /
know whom l have believed, and am
persuaded that he is able to keep
that which I have committed to Him
against that great day" This is a
great comfort to the bereaved.
