naturally thought right to keep
that feeling in the background, but
now that the hour had come when
the ties that had bound teacher and
school and telIow-workcrs together
must be severed, it was natural that !
expression should he givcs to their /,
feelings. They had felt most pro-
toundly the great loss that their
school must sustain iu tho retiring
of one who had been for so many
years their energetic and efficient
President. His strong personality
had affected everything so much
that his loss would be deeply felt.
And Punahon without he inspir-
ing presence Of Mrs. Merritt, they
did hot like To mention it. He
wished TO express the perfect regard
that the corps OF the instructors nf
the college felt toward one who had
been as one Of them. addressing
Mrs. Plnnry, he said lie was COM

warm appreciation OF the faithful
ness and efficiency Of her labors.
The article was small in intrinsic
value but they asked her TO accept
it rs q token of their esteem. They
hoped when she turned it's pages
she would think OF those who had
been her associates there. and, If
she would take pleasure in thinking
of this land of sunshinc, they should
be glad To he linked with that
pleasure.
Mr.. Merritt replied substantially

of the school have not been led BY
the influence of the school to have
given themselves 10 Christ. / am

and the Preparatory School. had
not given Il passing thought about
such a thing coming to pass, but for
myself and Mrs. Merritt ! kindly
