Your constant attendance at the House of God, 'instant in season and out of season' has been a source of inspiration to us ; your voice. always uplifted in the services of prayer and praise has ever been a joy and great help to us ; and indeed the deep interest which you have dis- played in all that pertains to the welfare and future of our Church, has been such that it makes our separation the harder and your loss the more irreparable. 'By thought, word and deed' you have impressed upon us the fact of your true Faith and sound Churchmanship. There- fore, recognizing the supreme devo- tion, loyalty and love that you have ever shown toward St. John's chur- ch, and the noble exatnpie and uplift- ing influence which you have exerted upgn us, we the members of St. ,John's church,, assembled together here, respectfully ask you to accept the accompanying set of church hooks, in appreciation of the long years of devotion and service which you have rendered to St. John's church, with the prayer that you may still bo enabled to serve the Church of your love, in the town to which you are removing, and that you, and your loved ones, may be spared for a long season in this rife together, as Our., heavenly Father may will.
