One of the greatest receptions ev-
er accorded any pastor of EllendaIe
charge was given the Rev. Conrad
Hamer and bride in the M. E. Church
on their arrival at Ellendale on
Wednesday evening of last week.
Large numbers of people were gath
cred from the four appointments to
welcome their pastor and wife and
show by their presence and dona-
tions their joy in having them to oc-
cupy the parsonage and administer
to their spiritual wants for a year at
least. The program as rendered was
fine. The readings by Miss Olga Jes-
ter and Gladys Warren, the piano
solo by Miss Grace Baker, the reci-
tations, also solo by Fred Ireland
and brother Bernard, were of high
order and thoroughly enjoyed. The
Rev. J. H. Thornton, of Lincoln, was
present and made a few remarks
which were timely and to the point.
E. F. Whitney welcomed the new
preacher and better half in language
teeming with wishes for their fu-
ture prosperity. After the program !
was rendered the presidents of the |
four Ladies Aid Societies, viz Ellen
dale, New Market, Union and McCol- |
ley's, came to the front of the |
church and introduced the people |
of their respective churches to the
pastor and bride. After this cere-
mony was concluded, the chairman,
J. A. EllegOod, asked the sexton to
raise the rolling partition separating
the Sunday school room from the
audience room-then was revealed a
scene good to look upon. Long ta-
bles reaching the length of the ROOM
were loaded with every conceivable
thing necessary for the young cOu-
pie to have in starting on the voy-
age of life. Table cloths, towels,
aluminium cooking utensils, silver
ware glass ware, set of dishes, gro
ceries of all kinds, including over
one hundred pounds of sugar, salt
meats, chickens and a lot of things
which the writer can't think of. The
of money given was large.
The chairman presented the gifts to
he happy pair who in a very fitting
y manner thanked the donors for
heir great gifts. So ended one of the
most happy occasions ElIendale ev-
# experienced. To Mrs. H. W. Jes-
er, Mrs. G. L. Howard, the presi-
Ients Of the several Ladies Aids and
he people in general thanks are due
or the great success of the under '
aking.
