Whereas. the late Rev. A. E. Ed
wards, whom grim death recently took
from us into the paradistical regions
of the unknown, served us as pastor
of our church about 16 months. His
work was a marvellous success, both
spiritually and financially. He was
not only good preacher of the Cos
pei. but an excellent pastor. In all
his councils we found wisdom. for in
every branch of the church work he
was ever ready to render his SERVES
and do his whole duty in every pos
sible way.
AS a church. we regret to give him
up. We feel that there is broken
link in this chain of brotherhood that
will never be replaced. but our loss IS
his eternal gain.
Whereas. we are left alone. flock

Let us keep steadfast guard.
With lighted hearts all night.
That when Christ comes we stand

And meet Him with delight
