nation tn fake effect at such time as W.
may decide on hereafter. In doing this,
i cannot refrain from expressing my keen
est appreciation of the cooperation
which has made my stay with you SO de
lightful During these eight years oul
fellowship has been unbroken. 1 have
received nothing but kindness on every
hand. The perfect unanimity with which
we. have worked on from month to month
has been remarkable. There has not beer
a ripple TO disturb the surface and for THU
spirit l have been increasingly grateful
/ have never seer. the ideal of the rslation
ship between pastor and church more
fully realized. The enthusiasm with
which we began has been steadily main
tanned. May He who called us together
and now calls us apart lead us into 6
larger and more glorious way.
