FIFTY-TWO YEARS A SUBSCRIBER TO ONE PAPER.

The following article is gleaned from this month’s Central Christian Advocate. Mrs. Palmer is an aunt of Henry Neviil, of this city. The article follows: The pastor of our Glasco, Kas., church believes that one of his members holds the record as a subscriber <to the Cenltral Christian Advocate. Her name is Mary Palmer, wtife of W. W. Palmer, of Glasco, Kas. 'Mrs. Palmer has taken tlhe Advodate for over fifty-two years, and has been a member 'of the Glasco church, where she still holds her Setter, for more than forty years. She was converted and joined the Methodist church in Pilckneyville, HI., when she was only fifteen years of age and has been a faithful and consistent Christian all these years. One reason why she has lived such a (beautiful, Christian life is because she has kept in close touch (with the affairs of the Kingdom through her church .paper. . We (believe in giving honor where honor is due, and flowers to the living, before they jpass beyond the enjoyment of flowers. To have been a subscriber to her church paper for over fifty-two years is a record few can claim and everyone be proud to own. Sister Palmer has ibeen loyal to her church, loyal to her famfily, and loyal to her God. We are proud of her and pray that God’s richest blessings may rest upon her all the remaining years of her life. May her kind increase for “Of such is the Kingdom of Heaven;” — J. C. Dussair.
