FELLOWSHIP AND UNITY
I do not believe there is another townin Kentucky which can boast of as muchvisible love and unity between the various ministers and their congregations asIColumbia when the size and population are taken into consideration-
A beautiful instance of this kindly spiritand the fellowship between two ministers of the gospel was exhibited at theChristian Church Sunday morning
The Rev A R Kasey pastor of theMethodist Church occupied the pulpitand at the close of his sermon in a feweloquent and well chosen words he tendered his sincere thanks to the Christian minister and his congregation forthe use of their church during the pasttwo months while the Methodist churchwas being remodeled In the abscenceof the pastor Elder Z T WilliamsElder W K Azbill responded to RevKaseys expression of thanks and gratitude andsaid that in speaking for EldWilliams he was sure that it had beenboth a pleasure and a profit as well asedifying to have had Rev Kasey and hiscongregation worship with them as itwas a token of unity and oneness of the
Lords people and true Christian spiritAnother invitation was extended by EldAzbill to Rev Kasey and his congrega-tion to make the Christian church theirhome for services again at any futuretime they may desire to The first services in the newly remodeled Methodistchurch will be next Sunday eveningF
