Rev A. W McGuffin Remembered.
From the Westminster Times.
Rev. A. W. McGuffin was the
recipient of a pounding of good
things for the inner man, by the
ladies of the Baptist church last
Friday evening. To say he en-
appreciated the loving
thoughtfulness of the ladies, but
feebly expresses it. Words seem to
fail him as with tears trickling
A?jwn his furrowed cheeks, he at¬
tempted to express his thanks.
Each one of us thanked God that
He had prompted us to do that
errand of love, and would that we
had done more, Bro. McGuffin
lives about two miles from West-
minster, was born and reared in
and around here, and has always
luid the love and confidence of his
fellow men. He was born July 23
181 1 and is now in his 89 year, but
remarkably active and well preser-
ed tor one of that age,He joined
the church Oct- 31-1881 and has
been preaching ever since. He
has married since the year 55 about
400 couples and thinks he has,if he
hud a correct record married abou.
