place, and for the past  five and
one-half yean pastor of the To-
wands Presbyterian church tend-
ered his resignation ae pastor of
the latter church a few weeks ago
and located at San  Diego,  Oal.
His decision to leave' was based
oa the feet thst his health would
no longer permit the severe strain
of the ministry.   In July, 1922,
Dr. Dobson nuderwent a serious
operation at tbe Packer  hospital
in Sayre, Pa., and   returned   to
his work before be had entirely
regained his health and  strength.
The vacation be will take will enable him to  make  up  tor  this
strain on his system.
Dr. Dobson wss held in great
esteem by tbe member of tbe To-
wanda Presbyterian church snd
before   leaving  for  California a
farewell wss given him and his
wile and each were presented with
well filled purses, In speaking ot
the work done in bis last charge
and    the   love   in    which    he
wss held  by  tbe  congregation,
tbe Towanda Daily Review say:
At tbe farewell reception held
in    the  Towanda   Presbyterian
Church last evening Dr. and Mrs.
Dean Newton Dobson   were  tbe
recipients of a purse given   by

member of the Choroh and con-
end tbe Indies Associa-

K'lngham, who was tntrodncedr
by J udge William Maxwell, referred to the excellent work done
Dr. Dobeon during tbe five-and-a-
half years that he has served the
churob as minister.
Prefacing bis appraisal oi. the
services ot tbe departing pastor
by a general statement as to the
place of the church in the world's
activities and showing the posi
tion ot tbe minister as that ot a
responsible and influential member of the community Mr. Ingham said tbat Dr. Dobson bad
managed the affairs of his parish
in every efficient manner.
The social and financial side of
the work of tbe church bad never
been in a better condition then in
the laat five years. In regard to
the pulpit work Mr. Ingham said
that the Presbyterian church had
some good preacher in the past
and Dr. Dobson had kept up the
succession and filled the pulpit
like a man. "He hss not wobbled around, bnt bas filled the pul-
pil and given of bis best to the
congregation.'' When in the act
of handing the purse to Dr. and
Mrs. Dobson the speaker expressed appreciation of the work of
Dr. Dobson in every department
of the activity of the church, and
also the regret of tbe people at
the severance ot the cordial relationship with their pastor.
"Back in the Pennsylvania bills
at least in the little town of Towanda," said Mr. Ingham, "you
will know there are people who
wise you well and wltl have pleasant remembrances of the short
time yon spent  among them.
Dr. and Mrs. Dobson eaoh
made a short speech in appreciation of the gift. After the brief
ceremony was over the Review
representative was curious enough
to ask a church official es to how
much the purse contained and

Dr. Dobson was $520 and in addition to that the purse contained
$125 giveu to Mrs. Dobson by the
