day evening his congregation pressed |
forward to bid him farewell. During /
his sOjourn in Smyrna Rev. Mr.. Pierce

gregation. thursday evening last he
was given a reception by members

of Mr.. and Mrs. Vernon J. Westfall. !
1t was ostensible his 28th birthday,
but the real occasion was to give his |
congregation an opportunity for
Farewell Party incident to his going
abroad. Mr.. Pierce was expecting a
gathering of a few young folks and
was thoroughly nOnplused upon enter
ing the drawing room to find most Of
the congregation present. Orchestral
music made a merry time and later
on a delicious cake with a coronet of
lighted candles was presented to the
28 years old dominic. He in turn of
fered piece of his cake to every per-
son present, and it, with creams, was
very enjoyable. A token of apprecia-
tion was a neat umbrella to protect
him from the Scotch mists, though
we United States people call them
down-pours of rain. Mr.. Pierce sails
tomorrow on the Westphalia, Ham
burg American line, for Hamburg.
From there he goes to Bremen and
sails across the North Sea to Scot
