In this period of time you have seen many changes take place in the Session, and in the congregation­ al membership in general. Many and varied have been the duties resting upon your shoulders as the Clerk, but you have carried them through with due grace and efficien­ cy, and have remained faithful at your post, always striving to serve the best interests of the Kingdom of God. It was with deep regret that we learned of your resignation as clerk of the Session. The way in which you have kept the records of this court have left nothing to be de­ sired in literary skill and accuracy. We admired the seriousness with which you did your work and its thoroughness. As a brother Elder you have always manifested a splen­ did spirit of understanding and sym­ pathy and to our ministers you have shown whole-hearted co-operation and have shared often with them, the benefits of your sound judg­ ment. When it was your duty to represent the congregation at Pres­ bytery gatherings you did so with dignity and ability. We therefore take this occasion to express as a congregation our gratitude for all your services dur­ ing these many years. We are de­ lighted to know that your position as one of the Elders is still being maintained. It is our hob© and bray­ er, now that you have so well re­ covered from yotir receiit serious illness, that your life will be extend* ed for many years to come, and that our whole church will continue to be enriched by your fellowship. As a simple token of our esteem and gratitude to you, please accept this gift, which we hope Will be found useful, and will convey to yo^ in its use, the warmth of Christian fellowship we all feel toward you, Mr. Horton made a very fitting reply.
