DR.. and Mrs. A. L. Brooks Monday even
ing. About one hundred guests, all old
and dear friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Dick
inson were present, and the occasion

them all
After pleasant social hour, the COM
pany was called to order and Mr.. J. A.
Nash on behalf of the guests presented
Mr.. Dickinson an elegant gold watch
and chain, suitably engraved. The
presents also included silk dress and

Court Reporter o. b. Castor for the
complete report of the speeches which
were as follows:
PRESENTATION SPEECH BY MR.. J. A. NASH:
Dear Friends: Knowing that you are
about to leave us, we, your friends and
neighbors who know you best, who have
loved and respected you during all the
years you have lived in Audubon, have
gathered tonight to express to you our
love and esteem and to bid to You good
bye. Our hearts are filled with sadness
and regret as we contemplate that after
30 many years Of activity and usefulness
the pleasant relations Of pastor, friend
and neighbor are to be severed and that
you go from us to make your home
among strangers. We assure you that,
though you may be absent in person, you
will always retain warm place in our
hearts and we will ever cherish the
kindly word and the genial smile with
which you haye greeted us.
We appreciate the intellectually, the
ripe scholarship, the sterling Christian
manhood and earnest, loving, Chistian
motherhood that has been to us q daily
lesson OF better and purer life. 1t is
impossible to estimate the good your
lives have accomplished; that will not be
known in this world, but we all know
that the years spent in Audubon are
years not spent in vain, and that not
only our little city but the entire COM
munity has been bettered for your
having lived in it. We will ever remem-
Der you as living examples of the great
truths you so ably taught; and now, as
we say good bye we wish you many years
of happiness and prosperity and trust
that in your new home you will find such
warm and loving friends as tonight bid
You farewell.
In saying good bye we esteem it not
only privilege but pleasure to present
you with a slight token ofour friendship,
not for its worth in gold or silver, but

us. We can never forget it. and, al
though the past is past, the experiences
OF our living among you, the lights and
shadows, the series OF Joy and sorrow,
the wedding occasion and the funeral
sadness often, services of the Sabbath
and social events; all this true; neigh
borly kindness now is to be a. memory
and the years will come to cloud these
experiences, and 30, as they, recede far
Their and farther into the distance per-
haps may become dim in our thoughts,
but II do trust do feel that you
will never forget us and 1 am sure we
shall never, never forget you. We have
enjoyed these years. 1t has been a
pleasant experience we have had here,
though 1 have felt as my friend, Brother
Nash, was making these kind and ap-
preciative expressions, il was an over
statement. Indeed, we have tried to do
our duty, we have tried to- live before
you life that would adorn the doctrine
OF Cox, our Savior. We have tried to
be true in all the relations we have sue
tanned here, and we are moro than glad
II there has been any measure or sue
cess in the effort we have made, and /
rejoice to think that, by the Spirit and
His blessing upon the influences that
we have tried to exert here. there has
been many, many heart that has been
touched helpfully and many who will be
glad for the fact that we were directed
here, in the providence of God to Audu-
bon.
And now, dear friends, we thank you
for all these things. They will be me-
mentoes that we shall cherish. AS we
think Of them we shall remember the
pleasant scenes and experiences of this
evening, and we do most sincerely and
most earnestly desire Gods blessing
upon them. On the part OF my wife,
and upon my own part, / sincerely
thank you. We thank you all for your
great kindness to us and now let us say
IA word bespeak your kindly thought
your interest, your affection and your
loyal love to this dear brother that has
como among you. His heart goes out to
you; he has already taken you into his
affection. 1t is my privilege to feel
while know that you are my friends,
while know that these relations that
that have existed for years shall con-
tinue-but that proprietary interest that
