UNION SERVICES
At baptist Church—Members of
Churches Gather to Bid Brother
DeWeese Farewell.
The Baptist church was crowded
to ovcrllowing Sunday night, when
all denominational lines were put
aside and the good people gathered
to hid farewell to Rev. DeWeese
and his estimable wife, who left
Monday for Louisville, Ky., where
Mr, DeWeese will enter the Theo
logical Seminary. Interesting talks
were made by laymen and pastors
of the city, and Mr. and Mrs. De-
Weese were moved to tears by the
many pretty tributes paid to their
exemplary lives while citizens of
Winder. When Brother DeWeese
got his voice under sufficient con
trol to speak he expressed his deep
appreciation of the great love feast
being held, and said it was much
more than he expected, and hoped
the vast congregation would par
don him if he appeared childish.
The speaker was above creeds,and
denominational lines, and in the
course of Ins remarks expressed the
beautiful thought “l love every one
who loves my Lord.'
It was a beautiful and soul-stir
ing service and one which will re
dound to great good, in W inder.
Let’s have more union meetings,
where the love of < iod and human
ity reigns supreme. At the con
clusion of the services the following
resolutions were adopted by the
members of the Baptist congrega
tion :
Whereas, In the departure of our
i>eloved Pastor and Sister DeWees,
the First Baptist Church, of Win
der feels that they are losing two
’of our most devoted members and
most ardent Christian workers.
Their stay with us for two years
and nine months, has been fraught
with great accomplishments, to say
nothing of the ‘‘Dread cast upon
the waters,” from which wo expect
to reap greater good in years to
c< tine.
larder the pastorate of Brother
D. W'eese, mir church membership
has grown from 10b to 194, show
ing a net gain of MS members. Not
only have we grown in members
and Christian graces under his pas
torate, hut we have gone from a
small dilapidated wood 4‘hureh
building in an undesirable section
of the city into a beautiful and
commodious brick edifice, located
in a very select residence section o!
our beautiful city, jtid on the same
lot we have a desirable pastoriuin,
and in addition to this, Brother
and Sister Do Wees have found
time to endear themselves to our
town's people in general, and have
succeeded in organizing a “Ladies'
Aid Society,” “Young People’s
Bildc Training Class," and “Chid
ren’s Junior Union, all of which
societies have accomplished great
and lasting good. Especially has
Sister DeWeese shown great Chris
tian fortitude and good generalship
in the manipulating of these sever
al societies, all of which reflects
great credit on her as a Chris
tian worker. Therefore he it —
Resolved, first, That we commit
him to all as a true Christian, an
able expounder of God’s word, and
a devoted man.
Second, That we pledge him and
his our prayers ami benedictions
w herever they may go, and ask that
he will ever remember us in his de
votions. x

Anchored safe where stonns are o’er,

Soon to meet and part no more.
When we leave this world of changes,
When we leave this world of care,
We shall lire! our missing saved one,
In our Father's mansion fair,
Farewell dear, hut not forever,
There will Ur a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part no never,
On the resurrection morn,
Thu' Thy darling form lies sleeping,
In the cold and silent tomb,
Thou shall have* a glorious waking
When the blessed Lord does come;
Earth has lost its look of gladness;
Heaven seems to us more bright,
Since the spirit of our dear one
Took his happy Homeward Bight.
And we long to cross that river;
Long to rest upon that shore,
There to see, and know, and love
him, .
With the Saviour, evermore.
Peaceful he the silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our sorrows know.
Net again, we hope to meet, thee,
When the day of life has lied,
And in Heaven with joy to greet
thee,
\\ here no farewell tears are shed.
