Rich's life among us has been one of in
cessant, earnest toll on this charge. He
has had to labor under embarrassing cir
cumstances, but his zeal for the cause of
the Master and for souls have won him
many warm friends here, and souls have
been brought to Christ through his instru-
mentality. and we believe that stars will
deck his crown Of rejoicing in that day
when God shall come to make up His Jew
els from his labors in this place. And it
is resolved that we, the official board and
members of the NJ. f. church. do hereby
express our regrets that our dear pastor
and his companion are to leave US; but
we cheerfully and prayerfully recommend
him to the confidence and hearts of the
people where he goes. Christians may be
separated from each other in this life, but
the thought that their praises may mingle
together at Heavens altar cheers our
hearts and bids us look forward in faith to
the time when the reunion of friends shall
be made perfect in Heaven and prayer
shall be changed to endless praise.
