The Cong'l church of Richmond has
extended a call to the Rev. E. G.
French to accept the pastorate of
their church. While the church here
is glad of the appreciation of their
pastor, yet their grief and dismay
would be unutterable should they be-
lieve that he seriously contemplated
leaving them. In the years that Mr..
French has been with us he has won
the confidence of the people and of
his church by the upright integrity of
his life and by the simple manliness
of his character and it would seem
that his opportunity for usefulness
was never so great as now, nor his
influence for good so greatly needed.
1t is the earnest and unanimous wish
of his church and of the community
that he remain with us.
