On Monday evening, November 3rd while the preacher ttud his wife of LaFayette Street Methodist church, were thinking of th£ days past, all of a sudden footsteps were heard as if some one was coming to call, and bv the time a boy walked upon the (torch and opened the door, bearing u sack of flour, the sound of many feet eould be heard and as an approaching ' storm, suddenly breaks. The crowd . had forced their way by the helpless prenohed and demanded entrance into the dining room, kitchen, hall and fill ed the house with visitores, the din . ing table and room with a great abun dance of most delicious things one could .think of. until the dining table ■ wa imr wider its heavy load of I Such a larg . crowd never Itefore stormed this preacher an<l the poutui . "..ing was just simply great, greater, greatest. This congregation certainly know how to treat a new pastor. Such good treatment highly pleases the 'preacher,and nuts him ■•"dor everlast ing obligations to bis flock. Goodness arid kindness and the best « c;,rcc1i:ive" already 'been shown this bumble servant and lie was so com pletely pounded that his speech was poor and he could hardly find words , adequate to express his and his wood wife’s high appreciation for all these “ good things of a temporal nature. We all now resolved to try to feed the flock as a good and true shepherd should. LaFayette Street Methodist church is on the job and the work goes hum ming along, well oiled and running smoothly'. iVlay God, through us, and our work in some small way repay them for their kindness. The pounding was sim ■ ply great and the spirit prompting it . was of the right sort. May full blessings fall on euch and pvery one belonging to this flock here in South Shelby. By the way Shelby is a good town in which to receive a great pounding. Best wishes, RKV. and MRS. A. S. RARER.
