The Brooklyn Brotherhood Of Con-
gregational ministers has sent the fol-
lowing splendid recognition of Presi-
dent Creegan's life and works in the
east. Tn view of the retirement from
his long residence among us of our
honored brother and fellow member of
our body, the Rev. Charles c. Creegan,
ID. D., to assume the important and re-
sponsible duties of president of Fargo
college, North Dakota, we, the Brook
lyn Brotherhood of Congregational
ministers desire to put upon record our
explicit testimony to the high esteem
and close affection In which DIR. Cree-
gan is held by us all.
During a period of sixteen years, he
has lived among us, serving as the sec
rotary for the middle district of the
American Board of Foreign missions
In the conduct of this Office he has been
in marked degree, able, faithful, sue
cessful.
Keen of vision, wise in Judgment,
broad in sympathy, prompt in action,
he has prosecuted his cause in our
pulpits with fairness and force, and
lintelligently co-operated with our past
ors in rousing enthusiasm, in confirm
ing loyalty. Not trenching upon past
oral prerogadve, he has yet boldly urg-
ed the claims of missions upon our
churches and held himself instantly at
command in seconding the pastoral in
itiative; while beyond his own specific
field Of appeal, his large sympathy with
every phase of missionary enterprise,
both home and foreign, has been con-
stantly felt in maintaining the Just
alignment of our UNCONVENTIONAL bene-
violence.
Aside from secretarial duty we have
found him in personal and ministerial
relations a straightforward christian
gentleman, a good friend and a good
counsellor, a ready and competent
helper in every field OF christian fellow
ship and enterprise.
We have relied upon him and loved
him. We are loath to have him leave
us. We accompany him with our best
wishes and our prayers, and we con-
graduate our friends Of Fargo college
upon the coming to them of a man
whom we have found so resourceful
and efficient, so rich in trained ability
and so devoted and loyal In spirit"
