one another which had been mentioned
in the prayers and address OF the SER

Chairman P. c. Jones assured the arst

remarks she had made.
DR.. Emerson said he did rot propose
to try to do anything to solve the

To the Members OF the Central Union
Church:
In accepting the resignation that has
just been presented to this citing. the
Central Union church is severinx is
| official connection with one. who. FOR
! many years. has been an active work
er in this church. doing the duties that
fell to her lot faithfully, unselfsh,v.
! and with a true Christian devotion
Never wavering when called upon. and
always willing and cheerfully sacrific-
ing her own interests for others. and
extending willing hand and giving
good advice to those IN want and
1 trouble.
! 1t is with the deepest regret that We
/ ind ourselves called upon TO part with
the services of one who has so earnest
ly and faithfully filed the position as
pastors assistant for the pas: eight
years, and we feel, that IL is an appro-
pirate time TO express our appreciation
and thanks to Miss Yarrow for he-
untiring efforts and success in conduct
ing the Christian. Social and Business
work of this church.
An appreciation in some substantial
form. would, we believe. be proper. not
that 1t would in any way compensate
her for what she has done, as that
is impossible.
During the past six months. Miss
Yarrow has had the entire responsible
ity and duties of Sunday school SUPER
intendent to perform. and in addition
thereto, flled the various gaps. caused
by the absence Of others, all OF which
she has done in her usual uncomplain-
ing way, although on many occasions.
her strength has been taxed fully TO
the limit. I would therefore move that
upon her retiring as an officer OF this
church, that the treasurer be author
lied, and is hereby instructed. to nav
TO Miss Yarrow the sum of five hun
dred dollars $500.
Rev. w. D. Westervelt suggested
that the resolution be divided, that It
most certainly be adopted as far as
the deserved appreciation OF Miss Var
row was concerned, but that the fnan-
cial end of 1t be eft to the church
trustees He, for one, did not know
what was in the treasury and, besides.
financial matter was one for the
action of the trustees. This idea was
adopted and the resolution Of appre-
citation was unanimously adopted
while the matter OF finance was re-
feTred to the trustees.
After the meeting it was stated by
an officer Of the church that the cause
tof Miss Yarrow's resignation was that
the Rev Doremus Scudder desired a
young man as his assistant.
