C. Elder , Pastor of Leominster Baptist Church , Leominster , left the town on Friday evening for France , where he will again take up work in connection with the Y.M.C.A. Huts with the Troops . A farewell gathering arranged by the deacons of the Church took place on Wednesday evening in the Schoolroom and was largely attended , the Kingsland Church also being represented . In the course of the meeting the good wishes of the Church to Mr. Elder were warmly and heartily expressed by the deacons . Mr. A. Rouch said he trusted that the good company present was a happy omen for the future . Their object in meeting was to wish their Pastor God speed on his journey and in his work amongst the boys in France . At first some of them were rather reluctant to consent to Mr. Elder going , but looking at it from all sides they were led to see that they ought to be prepared for some sacrifice in the interest of the boys who were fighting their battles on the Western front , and upon that they unani- mously agreed . satisfactory arrangements had been made on SUNFLOWER SUCCESS .

It can supply well- cooked food at prices with which no private firm can possibly compete - though , as a matter of fact , the element of competition is not likely to enter . It is run solely for the bene- fit of the consumer , and , while hunan rature remains what it is , a kitchen which supplies well - cooked food at little more than cost price , will never lack for customers .
