The Brookline Mass Press of
Jan. 9th contains an account of the
presentation of a fine desk and chair
to DIR. John Sinclair, formerly of
this city, by the Doctors congrega-
ton and Sunday school. The pre-
sentation speech contained the
statement that in the year 1904 the
church had been more successful in
taking in members, in audiences, at
the Sunday school and other servi-
ces and in finance than it had been
before in any time in it's history,
and the congregation wished to.
show their minister their appreci-
alton OF the energy and ability he
had put into the work to achieve
this. They had, therefore, resolved
to present him with a gift which
would further facilitate his labors,
in a desk and a liberal supply of
writing material, with chair to sit
on in comfort while he was writing
his sermons. DIR. Sinclair, who
was taken by surprise, replied. He
regarded this, he remarked, more as
token OF goodness and sympathy
of the people than of his own worth
mess. He was little run down
with work just now, but this would
be better tonic to set him up than
all the drugs of the pharmacopeia.
