When the members of the Council
Bluffs Presbytery reached Audubon last
Tuesday evening we were escorted to
one Of the finest churches in western
Iowa. The pastor and people Of
this church are to be congratulated on
! being able to carry to successful com
pletion and enterprise that is an honor
to tn EN-, and is in keeping with the
beautiful little city in which they live.
This church building represents doubt
less the self denial and personal sacri.
flee of many OF the members OF this con.
gregation. We do not forget these, but
we desire to recognize the gifts Of Mrs.
l.. g. Stuart who gave so largely out OF
her abundance and thus made the sue.
cess of this enterprise possible and con-
graduate the church in having such
liberal giver in their midst.
This Presbytery never had more
cordial reception than was given them
by this people. They welcomed us into
their homes and. told US to make our
selves at home, and we did. They did
not say "be warmed and filed" but
warmed and filed us without saying
anything about it. And now as we are
about to go away, we wish to say that
we shall always hold in grateful remem-
brance the pastor and people of this
church and the sister churches for the
entertainment given us and for every
kindness shown us during the sessions
of this Presbytery.
We thank the Baptist church for the
use of their building, the choir Of this
church for the excellent music rendered,
the ladies' aid society for their elegant
meals at the church, the janitor who 80 |
faithfully warmed and ventilated the |
buildings and looked after our comfort |
generally as good ianitor should.
We go to our homes feeling that it |
was good for us to be here, and shall |
ever pray that the blessings OF God may
abide with the people OF Audubon. ~
