every church of Just such interchangeable
workers as Mr.. and Mrs. Frost had
proved to be, and of the priceless asset
that their labors represented in the work
, of the upbuilding of Christianity in this
community.
For the Sons of Veterans, the Com
mander of o. S. Haskell Camp spoke of
the organization of new Camp in Pitts
field last year, in which Mr.. Frost was of
great help in the way of being an inf1u-
entail leader, so necessary to insure
future success. His work as the first
Camp Commander during the year 1911
was not only of an EXTREMITY popular
nature but resulted in his winning the
loyal support of all the members, it being
exceedingly unfortunate that removal
from town necessitated his being obliged
to decline to continue in Office for
another term.
T. j. Written, master OF Pittsfield
Grange, spoke of the great loss which
this organization would have in the re-
moval of Mr.. and Mrs. Frost from the
town. Their work in this line for long

active members, was such that they had
won the universal appreciation of the
members not only in this but in other
Oranges.

of the recognized leaders in the Grand
Lodge affairs
Rev. N. R. Pearson paid very warm
tribute to the standing of Mr.. and Mrs
Frost in the work of the Methodist soci-
ETY., of their earnest work in the church
in this village and of their influence in
the affairs of the church throughout the
State. In their removal from town
Pittsfield would lose something that they
could not replace, and Belfast would gain
something that they did not already
have or could not expect to obtain until
the arrival of Mr.. and Mrs. Frost within
their borders.
Arthur B. Crawford's remarks were
most tender and loving remembrances of
the faithful work in all branches of the
work of the Methodist society in this
town, of their financial assistance when

sustain and keep up the courage of the
other members. In testimony of their
love and esteem, Mr.. Crawford, in be-
half of the society, presented Mr.. and
Mrs. Frost a large and handsome silver
loving cup.

teresting remarks concerning the great

inal poem for this occasion and presented
Mrs. Frost with beautiful silver bread
tray, suitably inscribed. from the W. C. 7.
