tions of the churches of the city
united in services to bid farewell to
Rev. H. D. Warnock, who recently
resigned the pastorate of that church
to nccept n call to the Baptist church
at Forevth.
The resignation of Mr. Warnock.
and his going to a new field of labor
have caused universal porrow
throughout the city aogardlesj of de
nomination. because dur.ig the seven
year’s of his ministry he has touch
ed nnd blessed the life of this en
tire community. This fact was plain
ly evident in the services Sunday
evening, us the large congregation
sat quietly, and listened to preach
ers and laymen pay tribute to the
work he ha? done, nnd express re
gret that he was leaving the city,
and going to another field of Labor.
Re\. John F. Yarbrough, pastor
of the Methodist church, pre.-ided,
and in opening the services spoke of
the close relationship that had ex-
istend between Mr. Warnock nnd
himself, during the three years he
•?ad been in the city. After song-
prayer and reading of .appropriate
scriptures, talk?, were made by Dr.
E. H. Scott, • the Baptist church;
Mr. 1.. C. Hall, of the Presbyterian
church; R. B. Moore, of the Metho
dist church, and Rev. F. H. Hard
ing. of the Episcopal church. These
talks were delivered with an earnest
ness and sincerity which struck .a re
sponsive chord in the hearts of the
hearers.
Mrs. Edyth Miller r.nng a beautiful
solo.
Mr. Warnock said that he could
not express in words his
tion of the sentiments that had been
spoken, but that he would always
cherish them. He then delivered a
sermon based on the text, “for a
man’s life consisteth not in the
abundance of things which he
possesseth.” He then showed
how men labored and toiled for those
things which brought no satisfaction
and perished. He pointed out that
the only true v.alues came by the
Christian life— a life which builded
chnracter, and helped c-'V.crs to he
me followers of Christ.
The services closed with the bene
diction pronounced by Rev. J. H.
Farr.
Mr. Warnock will spend this month
i a vacation, and will commence his
pastorate in Forsyth the first of
