who for some years represented that

,eived from a donation party the !
,altry sum of 1925 and thereupon !
he Phoeair Indignantly comments
Us follows:
I'VE understand that Mr.. Myers is
eeble in health, having worn himself |
tut in laboring for the good of the /
'eople of his charge empty in purse, I
laving been obliged to work for a !,
mall compensation, and no resources ;
0 fall back upon; that he has been b
faithful workman in the vineyard, Ii
fty-three members having been uni
ed to his church during the last four
ears, and others who had long been L
cad to the church having been re- fc
ewed in temper and spirit of their
ives; and that for some time he has '
cen unable to preach; and it seems :
ard that now, in his days of weak o
ess and poverty, he should be left h
D the cold charities of selfish church y
oers.' 81
