FAREWELL PARTY
TO PASTOR
T^ast night at the Presbyterian
church was presented a most unique
entertainment to the departing pastor
and his wife, Rev. and Mrs. James
McBride. The "Old Time Concert”
-wns executed by about a dozen or the
town’s most representative talent and
beauty. Old fashioned songs, dear to
everyone's heart, were rendered in a
masterly and characterlctic manner,
accompanied hv the organ at which
Mrs. Hedges presided in her usual
spirited and artistic manner. All of
which reflected great credit to the in
dustry and imagination of those in
direction, and under.
After the formal program, all stood
np and with much feeling sang "Auld
Lang Syne ” A voluntary contri
bution was then taken up, and
added to a purse which had been pre
sented at the afternoon reception to
Mrs. McBride. Refreshments were
In the form of an excellent doughnuts
and coffee, served gracefully by the
adies.
It is with sincere regret that the
community bids farewell to the Pres
byterian Pastor and his much es
teemed wife. They have endeared
thmselves to the people of Cordova
and are leaving at a time when the
fruit of their labor is ripe. They
have been a real, vital force in this
and neighboring communities and it is
our wish to them, God speed and fresh
laurels in new fields.

Father Corbett’s Evening Talks in
Eagle Hall are exciting a growing in
terest In the Cordova public and elicit
ing much favorable comment ns the
speaker confines his attention to the
discussion of the great religious truths
1 that are the common heritage of us
* al 1. Having shown that the "Riddle
! of Life" is solved by .Testis Christ who
I has revealed that man is created to
know* love and serve God in this pres
j ent span of life so that he will merit
[ for himself the everlasting happiness
of heaven. Father Corbett goes on to
prove that by rebellion against con
| science man invites his own eternal
ruin.
The Evil of Sin or Man’s “War of
, Rebellion” is brought out in its of
fensiveness and folly in the “Sting of
.Defeat” consequent on the final loss
of God's love necessary for hapiness
of the human heart. Fear of this los*
i. e. fear of hell is urged as a deterrent
to sin and a powerful motive to re
pentance. To counteract the fascina
tion of temptation and to show the
1 emptiness of worldly goods Death Is
j ushered in as a "Friend In Disguise”
j who opens our eyes to the stern reali
i ties of life. Tonight the subject to
be treated Is “The Declaration of In
dependence" a deep thinking earnest
I man makes when confronted with the
• vision of God’s General Judgment.
