Hill and his con gregation are both to be congratulated, the former that he has conducted hi work in such manner as to merit the esteem in which he is held hy both church and layman, and the latter that they have been appreciative oi the work and worth of their pastor and requested his return. It cannot be said of every minister that his return has been merited and requested. The Advocate now. as it has alwuy done in the past, stands ready to aid in the progress of the church pro gram; it congratulates both Bethel and its minister upon the success of it work under the leadership of Rev. Hill. ------------------- Cecil E.
