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.'

W'eese, mir church membership has grown from 10b to 194, show ing a net gain of MS members.

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 Third, That these preambles and resolutions lie spread on our church minutes, and a copy he furnished The Winder Weekly News, and The Christian Index for publica tion, S. iV.AUKOI,!), W.
