Cantey, the beloved pastor of Trinity Metihodist church for the past three years, conducted his farewell services in Bamberg before going to his new pastorate at Hartsville. -Mr. Cantey's pastorate ended in Bamberg with the previous Sunday, but on invitation he remained here and preached Sunday morning and evening, as Dr. Daniel, the new pastor, would not arrive until the present week.

These resolutions were unanimously adopted by the Sunday schoo.l Resolutions were also read on behalf of Carlisle school regretting the leaving of :Mr. Cantey. The Methodist pastor took occasion Sunday morning to review the progress of the church during the past few years. He said that he was very sorry to leave Bamberg, and that the people here would never be forgotten. His three years in Bamberg had been pleasant in every respect. He urged his church on to new ideals of progress and stressed some of the methods which might be employed. Carlisle school requests publication of the following regarding Mr. Cantey. "The announcement of Rev. S. 0. Cantey's removal was a veritable thunder-bolt from a clear sky. He [ filled a two-fold mission on our cam pus, viz., our beloved pastor ana tsaoie j teacher, the latter being added to his regular clerical duties when Rev. W. J. Snyder was removed one year ago. Words will not express the emotions of our hearts. We must say that our loyal and sympathetic friend was taken from us at least one year before we expected sudh to take place as a result of the Methodist itinerant system (and for no other reason). "The whole record of his ministerial career in our ipidst is one of unselfish generosity. Always greeting every one with a laugh which is all his own, he won the love and admiration of his congregation and many of other denominations. His policy must be (though we haven't heard him say so) 'scatter sunshine.' "No one has ever displayed a sweeter spirit than he even in the face of disappointment and trials. You will go a long way before you find a better pastor, and we feel our loss keenly. However, we are taught to respect authority and to bear without a murmur whatever is meted out to us. In conclusion, we invoke God's richest blessings upon him and his family as they go to the new field of labor, Hartsville."
