Inc years have been years of har.
mOny and growth along all lines Of

request,
That We recognize the excellence of
the lahors of Mr.. and Mrs. Nash in

they have constantly been animated
and directed by the Holy Spirit.
That never before has the Carson
Presbyterian Church been so truly
prosperous as under their guidance and
ministry, and that we believe their
work mere has the Divine approval.
Finally that we pray Gods richest
blessing may accompany them where
soever He may direct Their steps.
