Mr (MiTv hft Yesterday for States- i'i \\ •!» ri* <>('< tn mirphsmr ono Mr. Liston Bids Farewell to Lime stone Church. At the Presbyterian church Sunday morning and evening Dr. R. T Liston orearhed two excellent sermons, the evening discourse being one of the best of the manv good sermons he has nrearbed during his pastorate at this church. For this sermon he chose «<? his text II Corenthians 13:11, "Finally brethren farewel 1 .’’ His dls course was a learned dessertatlon on the life of Paul, the Apostle, and he took occasion to exhort his hearers to emulate the examp’e of Paul. Never once in the whole course of his sermon did he allud° to his pas tor-ate here or to his going away, hut at the conc’uslon of his discourse he took occasion to say some kind things about the neople of Gaffney as a whole, al'udlng in endearing terms to the very pleasant relationship that had existed between himself and the other pastors of the city. Rev. S. B Harper, of the Methodist church arose and announced the hymn “God be with you till we meet again,” but before the singing of th° hymn he took occasion to sa/ some exceedingly nice things about Mr. Liston and the members of the Pres- bvterian church. His remarks were very anpropriate and came from a heart full of tender emotions for the man about whom he was sneaking. Mr. Liston responded, assuring Mr. Hamer that he reciprocated the kind ly feeling. The hymn was sang and there seemed to he a specila tender ness in the singing. Mr. Liston ttmn nrnved, asking God’s richest blessings noon the church, the town and the State he was about to leave. It was a thoughtful and beautiful netition. At its conclusion he nronounred the benediction. After thp service had been concluded almost everyone in the house. Methodist. Baptists and Presbyterian, went up and hid Mr. Liston farewell. It was a fitting close to a most, annrouriate service. Mr. Liston went to Snartanburg yesterday to a meeting of Presbytery to he released.

It will he remembered that In No vember there p’ayed at Limestone College one of the most phenomenal young pianists now living—a seven year-old boy named Beryl Ruben- steln. Those who heard the little fel low nlav such works as are consider ed difficult by mainre pianists, and nlav these with no evidence of their difficulty, but with apparent ease, were enthusiastic to a degree. Since his appearance here, young Ruben stein has created a sensation In all the prominent musical centres of the East, having played In New York, Boston. Philadelphia, etc. It will be welcome news to learn that he will nlav again at Limestone College the middle of February, and there will doubtless, be a large and enthusias tic audience to greet him on his re turn engagement. —Best thing on e'irth for cold and grin.
