Dear Mr, and Mrs, MacLean:
We, the congregation or St, An-
drew's Presbyterian Church, have
gathered this evening to do honour to
you, the loved occupants of our
Manse, on the eve of ,your departure.
We are deeply sorry to have you leave
the church and community but know
that your decision to do so has not
been lightly reached.
Fourteen years have passed since
you came to St. Andrew's, and during
those years you have become such a
definite part of our church life that
today we wonder how it will be pos-
sible to fill the vacancies you are about
to make.
There are so many pleasant mem-
ories to recall of your stay here with
us, that it would be impossible to
record them all. 'Untiring and un-
complaining effort on your part, and
'the happiest of relations both in our
own and with other congregations,
have been our experience throughout
the years of your ministry. You have
taken an active part in the many
organizations in the church and repre-
sented us well in the Presbytery and
Presbyterial. ,
In our personal . relations you have
made a place for yourselves in our
hearts that will always be yours. You
have entered into our joys with an
understanding that has made us feel
you were one with us, and you have
gone with us through the valley when
the clouds were dark and. overwhelm-
ing, giving us words of comfort and
pointing us ever upward. No words
of thanks or .praise can adequately ex-
press our gratitude to you for what
your years of service have meant to
us all, both as individuals and as a
congregation. We have indeed been
fortunate to have leaders whose Christ-
ian life and ideals have been a con-
stant example to us.
It Is our wish that these years in
Wingharn will remain ever bright in
your memories, in token of which we
ask you to accept this gift.
Signed:
For the Session,
- H. F. McGee, Clerk.
For the Board of Managers,
