My Dear Friend and Brother
Mr.. PHILLIPS Il have, during minis
try of over five years in this parish, been
frequently called upon to say farewell to
many loved parishioners, but in no case
has the separation venture to say, been
felt more keenly by the whole parish and
its Rector than in the one which is about
to take place. Your constancy, fidelity
and devotion has ever been the subject up
on which your brethren have commented
with satisfaction and pleasure, and to your
minister, you have ever been tower of
strength in the knowledge which he pos
sessed, that you in conjunction with your
equally faithful colleagues of the choir
would be present to lead us in that very
important part of our public worship, viz.
in singing the praises of God In the
name of the Rector, Wardens, and vestry-
men, and the whole congregation, men,
women, and children, allow me to tender
our heartfelt thanks to you for your faith
fulness and devotion and to assure you
that wherever in the providence of God
your lot in the future may be cast, you
will ever be remembered by us all in our
supplications at the throne of grace, and
We will ever thank God that we were ena-
bled to say to those to whom you 60, in
your behalf. that one has come amongst
them in whom they may repose implicit
confidence. And now permit me in the
name of your friends to present you with
this small token of their esteem and affec-
ton and may heavens choicest blessings
be your portion henceforth and forever, is
the prayer of your brethren and pastor in
the Lord, of st. James Parish. Signed on
behalf of the Parish.
