We recognize... the important part you played lit "bur whole church life. You have aiWmys--tried .to do what you could to make our - church •flourish and your contribution of talent is remarkable and deeply appreciated wherever you serve. Since 19 3 8 you have been the or­ ganist of the church and in that oapaetiy you have been prompt; ef­ ficient -and dependable, and your service marked by the highest de­ votion. There have been occasions when the load for you has Ibeen exceedingly heavy. Easter ' and. Christmas, especially are important occasions, when much (more is re­ quired of the organist. But you have measured .up wonderfully and have labored industriously for us all, ■and your musical gifts have been an important factor in the success of our work as a whole. Believing this is a good opportunity to ex­ press our thoughts and feelings we are attempting to do so now.
