A very touching union meeting of the churches of this city was held at the Baptist church Sunday night. The meeting was held in honor of Rev. W. B. Cobb, late pastor of the M. E. church, south, and was at the instigation of the ministerial alliance that the members thereof might be given an opportu- nity to attest in a public manner theirlove and friendship fora depart- ing brother rrinister and to pay trib- ute to his worth as a citizen and to his beautiful christian character. In reality the meeting was a love feast, and as Rev. Barcafer, who act- ed as moderator, called upon the dif- ferent ministers present, Kevs. Jones, Jewell, McGee and Lotepeich for testimonials, each out-did himself in presenting Rev. Cobb with bouquets dipped in the dew of the morning and bound with love and true christian fellowship Rev. Cobb responded assuring the | alliance of his great appreciation of | the esteem in which he was held by his brother ministers of this city. Thecburch house was filled to over- flowing, and it is safe to predict that every heart in the audience beat in unison of approval of what had been said. At the conclusion of the meeting Rev. Cobb and wife stood in front of the alter and while the choir sang, “God be With Us Till We Meet | Again,” the audience filed by and extended a parting hand. Such a meeting has never been held in Butler before and fully demon- strates that the ministers andchurch people are getting nearer togetheras they should. | What's Your Face Worth? be ut never, if Sometimes a fortune ——
