New Jersey, 1907
An extract from the Tribune of Rome, Ga., shows in what high esteem the people of that place hold the Rev. C. O. Jones, who has been called to the pastorate of the First M. E. Church, this city. The article refers to Dr. Jones's farewell service last Sunday, and is as follows:
"One of the most affecting services ever seen in Rome took place Sunday morning at the First Methodist Church, when Dr. Charles O. Jones bade the members farewell after laboring for a year as their pastor.
"His theme was 'Hunger and Thirst After Righteousness,' and the eloquent speaker was at his best. His words deeply moved his hearers, and when the closing song, 'God Be with You Till We Meet Again,' was sung there was scarcely a dry eye in the house. Dr. Jones and his family leave for his new field, Trenton, N. J., tomorrow, and the best wishes of all Methodists and all Romans go with him.
"At the farewell service there was not a vacant seat in the house and many members of other denominations were present."
—Trenton Evening Times, Trenton, N.J., Dec. 7, 1907, p. 7.

Pastor Begins Tour Around the World
1921
Sheboygan Pastor Begins Grand Tour
The Rev. J. W. Perry, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church in this city, left yesterday afternoon for Milwaukee on his tour around the world. He was joined in Milwaukee by his brother, the Rev. Enoch Perry, industrial missionary of the city of Milwaukee, and they left on the nine o'clock train for Banff, Alberta. They expected to stop at Banff a day and continue to Vancouver, leaving there Nov. 12 on the Canadian-Australian steamship Niagara for Australia.
Communion was administered as the parting ceremony in the church Sunday morning. At the close of the service, the Rev. Perry dismissed the communicants from the altar with a brief admonition to "Go in peace." He did not conclude his benediction because of intense solemnity of the occasion.
With a few brief remarks, the Rev. Mr. Perry was in the midst of a veil of tears and his congregation almost to the individual joined to a greater or slighter degree with him. "Blest Be the Tie that Binds" was sung as the concluding hymn.
