the sentiment OF oN-
cry member by saying that they
grieved to part with him, and con-
graduated the league in Missouri that
would receive him as a teacher. The
league loves him and will remember
him, not only in their meetings, but
in their prayers. They feel that he
has been a great help to them in their
work, and will miss him in the future
but know that their loss will be the
gain of others.
A REAL LOSS.
Rev. A. ]. Sturtevant of Emmanuel
Baptist Church said that he could tru-
ly say that, while his acquaintance
with Mr. Anderson was not as long
as the others, that he had learned to
respect and honor him for his true
work, and felt that his going was
real loss to the city. 1t often happens
that when a pastor leaves a city, that
his abserce does not seem TO make
much difference, but it makes much
difference here when Mr.. Anderson
goes out from our midst, as he will
leave a void in his field of action.
HIS CHEERFUL FACE.
Rev w. c. Sherman of the Four
teenth-street Church said the sight of
Mr. Anderson's cheerful face had al
ways Teen a pleasure to him. He
hoped that they might soon see him
back again for another year. He had
been a great help to the speaker, and
he very much regretted that they must
lose him He could say amen TO all
that had been said by the others, and
bid him Godspeed.
HIS WISE COUNSEL.
Mrs Annie Carey, for the Ladies'
Aid Society, said she could hardly ex-
press what Dr. Anderson had been to
them in the way of help, and she did
not know how they would get along
without him. Her own acquaintance
with him had dated back to her school
girl days, when he was a young man,
and she remembered well the time he
brought home his bride. She voiced
the sentiment of every lady in the
church when she bore testimony of the
great aid he had given them in their
work by his wise counsel and helpful
words. They should always bear him
an affectionate remembrance, and pray
for his prosperity.
WILL MISS HIM.
Rev Daniel Schuck of the United
Breth~ens' Church remembered meet
ing Mr.. Anderson many years ago at a
picnic On Kings River, and their ac-
quaintance had continued from that
time. and they had come close togeth-
er. He regretted that a man like the
pastor should have to leave this COM
munitv. where he had become so well
and favorably known. He hoped he
was going to a wider and more success
full field of labor, and that God might
bless his work. The speaker felt that
the union was losing one of its strong
est workers, and it would miss him
sadly. He hoped the wheel of God
wOul1 one day turn him back this
way again.
A MAN AMONG MEN.
Mrs. M l. Richardson, for the mis-
sionary societies. said she could find lit
tie to say that had not been said. The
societies regretted his going, and did
not know how they would get along
without him. He had been a man
among men, a friend among friends.
The Pastors Union would miss him.
and the other societies would also, but
none would miss him like his own peo-
pie. She hoped he would find a wide
field of labor there, and do as much
good as he had here
HE WINS FRIENDS.
Rev. A c. Herrick of Oak Park
thought if they had an X-ray and
could look into Brother Anderson g
heart they would find it full of tears
and 10y He must be glad to listen to
what had been said of him. His con-
gregation knows what it is losing, but
the church to which he is going does
not know what it is gaining. He loves
every other denomination, and loves
every one He loves little children,
too. He will not only win friends, but
will keep them. The friends of his
childhood are the friends Of ours. The
city of Sacramento is the better for
his coming to it. The community is
going to lose a man that is always
found On the side of right, and he and
his wife will be greatly missed.
MISSOURI NEEDS HIM
Rev. DR.. Banks of the First Baptist
Church said the Baptists could always
get along with such Methodists as Dr.
Anderson. They had worked together
in unity since they first met. It is said
that the ministry in this State are
only a procession, always moving on
and DR.. Anderson was only going a
little before the rest. He thought il
must be that the climate attracted
others, and they We're crowded out
Dr. Anderson represents a type OF
spirit life that takes whatever God
sends, without envy of what others
have, and goes right along with joy
and pleasure. He did not think Cal
ifornia would ever reach it's full de-
velopment until its clergy are of the
type of the pastor they were about tC
lose. The speaker liked the Christian
life that is cheerful. loving and helpful
to others, and tries to make them hap
Ply. When there is sunshine in the
soul, We feel that we are in accord with
God. lie regretted that this type OF
| Christian life is to leave US, but was
glad that such a man was to be sent
back to Missouri, for that country
needs just such men, to place her il
the front rank of civilization.
He spoke of the cordial relations that
had existed between them, and of the
sunny, genial nature of Mrs. Anderson
