Rev. b AY, A formal recognition service for Rev. Joel B. Slocum, whe took the pastorate of the Central Baptist church on the first Sunday of this month, was condycted at the church on Tuesday evening followed by a reception for Rev. and Mrs. Slocum. A good pro- portion of the members of the con- gregation were in attendance as well as the pastors of a number of the other churches of the city. The service, at which Deacon C. Ed- ward Smith, chairman of the supply committee, presided, was opened at 8 o'clock with the invocation given by G. C. Pollock in place of Rev. George H. Strouse of the First Bap- tist church, who was unexpectedly de- tained from attending in the early part of the evening. The hymn, Cor onation, was followed by the scrip- ture lesson by Rev. C. H. Ricketts of Greeneville Congregational church and the anthem, Praise The Lord, well rendered by the quartet. After prayer by Rev. E. S. Wor- cester of Broadway C(ongregational church, the congregation united in the hymn, Tn the Cross of Christ Is Glory, and the address of welcome was given by Rev. Dr. S. H. Howe of Park Con- gregational church. Rev. Dr. Howe, it was remarked by Deacon Smith, had performed a similar service when Rev. P. C. Wright, the former pastor, came to_the church. In an impressive way Rev. Dr. Howe | spoke of some of his impressions of Rev. Mr. Slocum, saying that he wa a man of positiveness, bearing, as the speaker believed, a message for th people and this city. It is a voic which seems to strike a note of a genlus Christianity. There is but one | thing that lasts in the world and that | is the cross of Jesus Christ. It is needed in this age of surgical opera- tions in our beliefs, brilliant it is true, but often very destructive to the pa- tients. There is a need in New Eng- land for Jesus Christ and the want of our age is great preachers, not men to serve on forty committees and go out- side to_do multitudinous social ser- | vice. Rev. Dr. Howe left the final | word given by Professor Bruce to his | students: “It's a great privilege to preach Christ.” It pays in reward, in | fruit, in the consciousness of a faith- | fully fulfilled stewardship. | In responding, briefly, Rev. Mr. Slo- | cum expressed great appreciation of | the words of Dr. Howe, and of the privilege that he felt in coming to the church and the city, and remarked | that his presence in Norwich seemed | to be fulfilling a prediction made years | ago that he would some day be coming | back to New England. He referred pleasantly to a former recognition ser- | RECOGNITION SERVICE FOR PASTO Given For Rev. Joel B.
