society and individuals, deeply re-
greet that George C. Blakslee is about
TO sever his connection with the
Rock Island Y. NJ. c. A.
During the four years that he has
laborcd among us we have learned to
value highly his counsel and his
work.
He has ever had in mind the high
est good of the young men of this
city. and his labors have been album
dainty bles- ed by the Lord.
And we of the auxiliary have been
especially aided by his timely sug-
gestion and wise counsel.
BY following his advice our work
has been more successful than the
most sanguine had anticipated.
We wish to express to him and his
excellent wife the assurance of our
best wishes and our prayers in their
new field of labor.
