DEAR PAsTOR AND SUPERINTENDENT
AND MRS MACNAB
We, the undersigned, on behalf o
Union Sabbath School, take this op-
portuuity of expressing in a tangible
form our hearty appreciation of your
able and willing servicea in imparting
religious instruction to the youth of
this place from Sabbath to Sabbath.
Your hearty co-operation with teachers
and pupils has not lost its influence
upon us. We fully realize the import.
ance of the work of a Sabbath School.
We know it to be a work of Faith and
labour of Love, a work. the influence
oE which is far reaching, since it is
largely instrumental in building up the
great highway upon wbich Christ is
marching to His triumph. We realize
too ,the difficulties which we have to
encounter in the work of the Sabbath
School. There are giants to conquer,
and 'walled cities to capture if we are
to gain possession of otir inheritance.
In meeting these difficulties we would
ever listen to the voice of God as He
says be strong and very courageous, be
obedient, go forward and thou shalt
have good success, As Superintem.
dent, teachers and pupils we would
obey the Divine comonand. We would
go forward in the name of the Master
ever bearing in mind that the armies
of heaven are fighting for the church
militant, leading her on to certain
victory through the power of the Holy
Ghost. Of you, Mrs. MacNab, what
can we say but that to your husband
you are all that the term "helpmeet"
implies, a pattern of the domestic
virtues in your home, and of zeal and
good works in the congregation, Asa
token of our esteem for you both please
accept this robe, fur mitts, and jewel
case, not for tbeir intrinsic value. but
for the love that prompted the givers.
May the approval of God, ever abide
upon you and your household,
and may the seed of the king-
dom in this portion of the
vineyard of Christ bring forth such
fruit to the glory of our Heavenly
Father, and' may we all share at
last 111 the joy of the great harvest
home, where sower and :reaper shall
enter upon the eternal inheritance
bringing their sheaves with them.
