Words of Appreciation.
The following Item, written by Rev.
John M. Dean, pastor of the Reynolds
ville Baptist church, we clipped from
The Cmummitrf (lllll, a Baptist journal
published in Philadelphia:
A word of honest aimreciatlon is sel
dom out of place, and I trust that I do
not overtax the courtesy or 1 he t'onv
montwiWi's manugers by asking the in
sertion of those few lines. We are often
privileged to read in these columns
words which show how heartily muny
of the churches uppreciute their pastors,
but porhaps too seldom the tribute thut
scores of loyal, loving and devoted
churches deserve from the pen of tho
ministry. Having so noon to leave tho
brethren of Reynoldsville to rosumo
the work that their kindly Invitation
called me from, I esteem it a privilege
to express my thanks to them in this
public way for their many courtesies,
their loyal support, of " r unfailing
kindliness and love. Anowing how
welcome to the heart of tho departing
worker is tho thought that his labor
lives in lives that ho may never touch
again, I am sure that knowledge of tho
fact that the brethren of the Ftoynolds
villo church have inspired aim blessed
thoir pastor vy their zeal and warm
Chrlstlun teV .wship will not be unwel
come to the I. As un evangelist it is
well for m to confess that the faults of
tho churcn too often occupy the mind
and monopolize the attention of the
transient worker, and it is with n real
feeling of indebtedness thut I say that
my sojourn with tho loving hearts hero
will make me the more tender and con
siderate in future rebuklngs of sin.
Countless words and deeds of love
pressed into a brief pastorate call for
a greater return than can be given by
the writer In either words or deeds
May the richest of blessings prove the
Saviour's utterance, "It is more blessed
to give than to receive."
John M. Dean.
"Is the Baptist Church Scriptural."
Mr. McCoy, who Is an itinerant
Saint preacher, and Mr. Dean, pastor of
the Baptist church, had a debate in the
old school building last Friday evening
on this point, "Is the Baptist Church
Scriptural?" It is a hobby with Saint
preachers to attack other churches, and
Mr. McCoy is no exception on that line
of preaching, if we have been informed
correctly. Mr. Dean hud heard of his
attacks on the Baptist church and in a
friendly way offered to attend McCoy's
