was begun with an address by Rev.
Chalmers Fraser on Christian Fell
lowship." He was followed by Rev.
w. H. Hodges whose subject was "The
Christian Minister" Then came DR..
Boldridge whose subject was, "The
Pastor" In their talks the pastors
each eulogized Mr.. Ewart very highly
and to their every word Of praise a ST.
lent responsive amen went out from
the hearts Of each auditor. At the
conclusion Of DR.. Boldridge's address,
Rev. Mr.. Ewart arose and in a feeling
reply expressed the genuine gratitude
of his heart for the many kindnesses
and courtesies he had received during
his stay here not only from the pastors
of the different denominations, but
from the community at large, specially
mentioning the merchants, lawyers
and physicians. The services were In
terspersed with singing Of appropri-
ate hymns and after an earnest prayer
by Rev. Mr.. Fraser were closed with
meet again." after which many Of the
congregation who did not expect to
have another opportunity Of saying
good bye before his departure for his
new field Of labor, gathered about the
pulpit and with hand shake, as ex-
pressive Of the sadness Of heart as
the words uttered, spoke the sad words
to this popular minister and godly
man. Truly the regret at his depart
ure is universal in this community.
Death alone can sever the warm
friendships he made here.
