Brussels April 22, 1941 Dear Mr. MacDonald We learned with regret that you were to leave us soon. For a can- siderable period you have acted as an elder in the Church. Your ordination goes back to March the 24111, 1912, and in your high office You have always tried to be faithful. The work of the Church has been. given a foremost place in your life. Tai the work ce the Session you. have taken a worthy part. You have also acted as Clerk of .Session . i.a quite a period. You have kept the books, and by se doing you have kept track of our doings, and when those doings came up for exam:ra- tion in Presbytery you had them there, in black and white. So in a very real sense you have made us watch our step and "go' canny,” Freed from that restraint it is to be hoped we won't break through the fence or juanar over it. If that did by any chance happen we might have to send to "Port" for you, sad of course, coming from Port, we who had launched out where we should not have steered, might have to look to you to bring us back to port. We're - going to miss you. We're going to miss your quiet and wise counsel. We're going to miss your presence. We're going to miss your loyalty to the Services on the Sabbath day, and that loyaiay is no new taxing. When you lived at Jamestown before the cars came to the fore, and .you were a Lair distance from town, you sot as example of loyalty to ,tbe Ohureb that will bear emulation. Such loyalty brings joy to the mineiter's heart, and helps' to keep the "good cause" marching on, ane . in these recent year, when owing to the in eh -males of Mrs. MacDonald you were tied more to the home, very few :Sabbaths passed that did not witness your presence in• the 'Hcus,1 Of God." So you see we have good reason to say you will be missed from our midst. A pleasant time was spent at the town hall on Friday evening, when (friends and neighbors gathered to vresent 141M, ani Mrs, Clark Cardiff, a recent beide' : couple with a gift. Iiaa•ris, Bell read the ' address' and Stewart Kerr made the presentation of a fine studio couch.
