church.
During the time you occupied the
position, we indeed appreciated your
tradership, you bore patiently our
failures and mistakes and did the ut-
most on your part to make the choir a
vera sfcient agency in assisting in the
worship of God on Sabbath, your
interest in the work was evident in the
fact that you were always willing at
any personal sacrifice to be of service
to us and to the church which you so
much loved.
And now, as you have Revered your
.v,nneotion with us as organist and
choir leader. we wish to express to you
what we believe to be the feeling, not
only of the members of the choir, but
also of the whole congregation, namely,
r hat we shall miss you in the choir, the
Young People's Society and in the
whole church, we trust that even yet,
however, you may be permitted to re•
main'ih this district so that we may be
able still to enjoy your presence in our
midst,
We ask you, therefore, on behalf of
the choir and the whole congregation
to accept this suit of dining -room
chairs as a slight expression of our
appreciation of your servicee, so grata-
triton:Ay and willingly rendered to the
choir and the church as a whole. Our
best wishes accompany you as you de•
art to your new horse and may you
part
be spared and may heaven's con
Stant benediction rest upola you
through life.
Signed nn behalf of the choir and
Congregation, 14 D. Henderson, Frank
