While many have come a,nd many have gone during the half century, you still re- main at yons post of duty as one of our pillars and the only one of cnir school who has seen fifty loess of ser- vice. As you look back to -day and think of the many boys and girls who, as young men and women, have gone out from our midst to fill positions of honor and trust, we have no doubt that you look up and say, "To God he the g:lory," God has used you as one of Ins workmen and to -day, with the history of fifty years behind us, we wish to tell you that we appreciate those years of service and we believe that the influence you have exerted for good will never die out and the re- sult of your labor will never be fully known until we meet in the School- room above. We are. glad to know that, while filling many positions in the church, you have found time to stevote some hours of service to Sun- day school work, By the purity, man- liness and ingenuousness of your Christian character and deportment you -have always commanded our high- est regavd and esteem. We could not allow this Jubilee year to pass without in some way attempting to show our appreciation, we would therefore ask you to accept of this locket, contain- ing a photo. of the old church build- ing erected. undea your careful eye, 42 yea,vs ago, and one of our present beau- tiful church. We present this to you, not for its intrinsic value, but, as a token of our esteem. We pray that God may spare you yet a few years of vigor and strength to use in His ser- vice and that when you have answer- ed "Present" for the last time to the roll call of the class in Brussels, you will answer to the roll call up yonder, another star in the Master's crown, We have noticed with pleasure the fact that you were a busy man and. we love you because, that in every cause which has had for its situ either the temporal or the. moral ele- vation and svelfare of the community, you have done your .part. In all in-, ligious enterprises, • in all social move- ments and moral reforms you have , rendered valiant and ungrudging ser- vices. Yet we love you most because of the time, talents tied consecrated. energy you have put into Sunday School work. We believe III so doing . you have won a few stars for your • crown. We keow that it has always been your aim to make Christ prom- inent as the Great Redeemer, the ,a ii- thor of Salvation, the Truth and the the Way; and to see scholars won for Christ. Perhaps no other one man in Brussels has been able to enter into the home life and seek personal acs quainte-nce with as many of the boys and girls as you have and it is because of this that we recognize in you a great factor in the moral and spiritual life of our chiach. We could not al- • low this Jubilee year to pass without showing some tangible evidence of our appreciation, thankfulness and love. We ask you, therefor, to accept from the school this umbrella, as but a slight ' token and memento. We svill all pray thati God may spare your life to lead us yet for years in this noble ser- vice. There will be stormy days with- out, may there be none within. Then when we are through with. the Church militant, may God grant that we with you, both young and old, may meet in. the Church Triumphant, wheat?, "Where Tort shall see Him face to face, Signed on behalf of Brussels Metho- dist Sunday School, this sith day of September, 1908, V.
