W. Wolling, who has served Central Methodist church during the i) past two years, left yesterday morn-: ing for Allendale, where he will erve next year, to look over the, h aeld and to get in touch with his new n work and to make arrangements for s moving'his family to that place. Dr. n Wolling will return to Newberry be- i; fore Sunday, and on Suday morn- 11 ing he will -hold a farewell service C with his former congregation, preach- o ing at 11 o'clock, and on Sunday z night he will bold a general farewell C service, to which not only his co.ngre gation but the members of other i: churches and the Newberry public p are cordially invited. During the two years which he has served-,Central church Dr. Woi- t ling has consecrated his every ef fort to the advanceemnt of the work I of the church, and of the cause of his Master in the community generally. Under his pastorate Central church z has experienced a healthy and rapid E growth. During his two years' min- f istry he received 104 persons into the communion of the church, and more than Mine thousand dollars were paid into the treasury of the church.: During the year which closed just prior to the meeti-,g of Conference the amounts paid into the treasury of the church for various purposes aggregated $4,070.50. Dr. Wolling c went to Conference with a clean bal-- 1 ance sheet and with a record of E faithful service of which any minis ter and any congregation might be I justly proud. The work of the Sun day school has prospered, the enrol-: ment being about 230. And not only within the confines of his own congregation, but amid the life and the varied activities of E the city generally, Dr. Wolling has f been a faithful worker in the cause to which he has devoted himself. A i man of big and generous and chari table heart, his sympathies have only been bounded .by the needs -of hu- s manity as they came to his notice, and he has been untiring wherever, in any walk of life, there was a sor row which could be soothed with the balm of that great, divine love whose a apostle he -is. He has drawn to himself warmt friends among those of large affairs and those in the humbler walks of life; among the old and the young; among his own congregat,ion and ecv ery other congregation: in the city. Such a man is a .power for good in any church and in any community, and the people of Newberry 'deeply regret to lose him, and will miss him when he is gone. He will take with him to his new charge the "well done' of Newberry, and the very1 best wishes of Newberry 's people for his comfort anid happiness, and for his continued success. Allendale is a pleasant charge, with a good salary, and Dr. Wolling will be well situated during the comig year. Fine Hogs.
