They are mixed feelings of pride and gladness, regret and dis- appointment. , For -eight years you have been 'our faithful minister. It was the wish and hope of many of us that you might re- main amongst us'for many years to come. We recognize, however,' that 'a decision has been made to make this 'impossible, and which will work out; we hope, to the advantage of your family. ' However, we cannot but express our disappointment and sorrow that this change must take place, for a itch friendship arid admiration has grown up between us during the years, and we are going to....rniss thou from our church and •Community. We have derived great .profit from your work •amongst us as out minis- ter. Oliver Goldsmith, speaking 61 the country preacher, said this: "Remote from' towns he , ran • his gods ly race, Nor .e'er had changed, icor wished to change bis ,pierce; • Unpractised he to 0i li� t •sd+9lt :der .. :power y doctrines Peelle/tea to the b0W.ti4.

More bent to raise the wretched than to rise.". • Now Goldsmith has not only pictur- . ed a village preacher that he knew, . but he his portrayed one that we have known for many years. You have been content in our midst, believing that there was work to do here, and you hazre carried on your. ministerial duties with `diligence, faithfulness and. efficiency; and we. know `that you would not Seek to change youf- place, but for the educational needs of your family. We wish to thank you for your' many inspiring rnessages•from the pul- pit. . They have been ,strong, fresh,. challenging and convincing, giving. constant evidence of a well furnished, well trained mind, wide reading, con- structive and progressive. thought.• But apart from,your successful work as a minister, we esteem you highly as a man to be trusted, and a worthy citizen. ace have never assumed a superior air, but have been kind, and _, friendly to all. We have admired your , frankness•, your honesty, your toler- ance, your magnanimous spirit and your truthfulness. Charles Dickens, said: "There is nothing safer or stronger in an emergency of life than • the simple truth." Because you hairs been, a man amongst us, we are going to Miss your companionship. We also desire to say a word, of es- teem and affection to Mrs. Chandler. You, have done what -you could to help forward the life of our church. •In - 'deed your gracious•8nrfluence an:kligst ns cannot be expressed in a single sentence.
