Holiday Good Will.
The happy holidays arc here
with good will abounding. That
of the good people of tho Cove
United Presbyterian congregation
took form on the Friday evening
before Christmas by gathering, en
111as.se, in the pastor's home, at
tended with loaded vehicles. So
unexpected was their arrival that
they found the pastor in his ice
packing suit that evening, though
one member of tho family seemed
inexplicably urgent that he should
hasten to don another suit because
he was in danger of taking cold.
But if he didn't take cold he did
take a good many other things
that did not require the doctor.
A very happy hour followed,
occupied with merry good cheer,
presentation and responsive ud
dresses, and praise to the great
(iiver, with invocation. The pas
tor was made the recipient of a
well tilled envelope of greenbacks,
and his wife of a beautiful couch.
The sto-ble and larder supplies
were both re-enforced.
Another feature that deserves
special mention was the presenta
tion to the pastor by one of the
young ladies of a beautiful dog of
line strain and possessed of the
traits of character which the pus
tor very much admires.
These expressions of good will
and sympathy are very highly ap
preciated, and these good people
have the cordial thanks of the pas
tor and his family.
