When the members of the Counci
Bluffs Presbytery reached Audubon las
Tuesday evening we were escorted t
one of the finest churches in wester
Iowa. The pastor and people o
this church are to be congratulated OF
being able to carry to successful com
pletion and enterprise that is an homo
to tn EN-, and is in keeping with tn
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, bu
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 a
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 60 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 ianitor who so
faithfully warmed and ventilated the
buildings and looked after our comfort
generally as a 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. ~
