Mr. HAGY had been a faithful member of the church for years and will be best remembered for his consecrated life to God. He came to Sunday school regularly as long as his health permitted him to do so. His presence at church was always appreciated by the Sunday school, because he came with this Sunday school lesson prepared and always had some worthwhile thoughts to contribute to his class, therefore, he will be missed very much by the Sunday School.
