The following is taken from The
Columbus Tribune of June II:
The Congregational church was
filled to its utmost capacity last Sun
day evening with the friends and adj
mirers of Rev. G. A. Munro, who de-
livered his farewell sermon to the
congregation. The congregation was
increased by the members of the
Methodist and Baptist churches, who
worshiped with the Congregational
church on that occasion. At the
close of Rev. Munro's discourse he
called upon Rev. Reinhart, of the
Baptist church and Rev. DeWolf of
the Methodist church for a few re-
marks, and each told of their love
for the man who has for the past
eight years filled the pulpit of the
church. but who is leaving for the
somewhat larger field at Grand June
tion, Colorado. The following reso-
luton was offered by S. C. Gray, and
unanimously adopted not only by the
church membership but by a rising
vote of the entire audience:
Resolved, That in whatever field
of labor the Rev. G. \. Munro shall
be called. our confidence and full
sympathy will attend him through
possible clouds that may cross his
DdIH, anu tHdi we SNAIL ever nope
and pray that he shall be permitted
to reach the mountain top of sue
cess in his chosen field of effort. And
be it further
Resolved, That, while we much
regret to part with Rev. Munro, we
will welcome the Rev. Dibble with
the full confidence to which our call
entities him, and trust that he will
find us ready to assist in carrying
forward the church work in Column

family, left Monday evening for their

who have, by their teaching and ac-
tions, been a power for good in the
city. and whose good work will lin
ger and be felt as long rs the mem
ory of those who have been bene-
fitted morally and helped spiritually
by his presence, endures but the scr-
row is not unmiXed with joy in the
fact that, while he leaves Columbus
in person, his work here will contin-
ne, and, while Columbus loses much
in his departure, our loss is but the
gain of that western city where he
has gone to make his home.
