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.
