The ministry of praise is not sec - 'and to the ministry of the Word, and in that ministry you have had your appointed place. And stecond to none, the hymns of Zion and the Psalms and Paraphrases, by yourgifted voice and acceia have enriched the hours, • of • esozehip through a wide space . of years. And it must bring a joy .to yoirr heart to know • that -many hearts 'have foundt healing by your message song, and an, edded ,joy -in that your • eon "carries onr" that heartening mes- sage in "The Old Rugged Cross." and •Many other songs of and from ' the heart •-You, Sdr, In the fulness of years and service, now leave your accui- toreed place.
