THE CHURCH-The Methodist church of
ST. Johnsbury has grandlv entertained us,
evidently counting such service not as duty,
but high privilege May the memories
of these f1eeting days be precious to these
many friends, and may the blessing of God
abide with them. AS other churches have
been associated with this church in entertain
ing the Conference, we trust they will remem-
Der that this service given to the disciple is
also given to the Master and we are sure
they will not lose their reward.
THE PAsToR-We recognize with much
gratitude the many thoughtful labors of the
pastor OF this church in behalf and we
trust he will have not only the pleasurable
consciousness of duty well done, but also the
assurance that his brethren appreciate his
kindness.
THE SINGING-We testify also our appre-
citation of the singing of the quartet and
soloists who have skillfully assisted in our
various services.
public press has paid us prompt attention
These men have shown that they understand
what is expected of them and are in every
way equal to the situation.
RAILRoADs--We are pleased that we have
been brought in safety to the seat of Con
ference and trust we may be as safely
turned We would like to have all railroad
men believe that Methodist ministers are
gentlemen who always say thank you" for
favors received, and are on the lookout for
opportunities to serve Others.
PRESIDING BIsHoP-Until recently we ex-
pected Bishop McCabe to preside at this
visit with pleasure. We wish to place on
record our disappointment and our grief at
the death of that unique and great hearted
man. We are glad to recognize the efficiency,
uniform courtesy and brotheriness of Doctor
Berry, our presiding Bishop. We who know
him expected all this and we have not been
disappointed. We shall always be glad to
see him whenever he can visit US, and we
more and more blessing to the church.
