It will be like parting with old and true friends, whose worth we have often proved. We have learned in the past to look to you for counsel, and financial aid, in all the dif- ferent phases of church life and work, and we have never looked in vain. Your regular attendance has been a help to the minister. Your places in the Sunday school will be hard to fill. and we have always found you ready to obey the Masâ€" ter‘s call by saying: "Here am 1. send me." Wo- hope you will accept. these small tokens of remembrance from the congregation, not as any remuâ€". neration for your work amongst us, for that cannot be reckoned in money. but as a token of the esâ€"! teem and respect in which you are} held by the ctmgregation. and we; hope that what is our loss will no a f gain in some other part of our; Master's Vineyard. l -L,__-' T 0 Mr. and MrsfPark. finrham.
