Farewell.

On December 9TH 1905, the members
of the Fletcher NJ. f. church of Welsh
La, and its friends, met at Brother
y. r. Miller's splendid home, to bid
Brother and Sister Corwin Taylor
goodbye, before their departure to
Iowa, to enter school at Sioux City,
Iowa, in the land of snow. They were
presented by these people, as token
of respect and love, to Brother Tay-
lor, beautiful gold watch chain.
The following is the speech of pre-
ton;-Brother COrwin Taylor,
we have come to the last evening of
our being together. We suppose for a
while when you first came among us,
we were strangers. but we soon became
acquainted. Then when you brought
your wife here among us, we gladly
gave you reception and were joyful.
But time has moved on to the present
We have learned to love you
and your wife, and We have had so
many blessed times together in the
house of the Lord, that We are sad to
think of your going away.
So to show our appreciation of your
being among US, the people of Welsh,
have purchased this beautiful watch
chain, for you to keep as remem-
brance. Now some object to wearing
gold, but we feel that if you dedicate it
to the Lord as a gift of remembrance,
that it will be all right. Our Father
in Heaven loves beautiful things, else
why would re make such beautiful
roses? Let US be like Job. always
putting God first.
The Ladies Aid presented Sister Tay-
lor, with a beautiful set of Chocolate
silver spoons.
Miss Bell, the Evangelistic Deacon
esS. sang some beautiful songs for US.
We also had our former pastor Bro
ther Harrison with US.
FINALLY brethren, farewell. Be per-
feet, be of good comfort, be of one
mind, live 10 peace, and the God OF
love and peace shall be with you"
