AT an unexpected time in the pro-
ceedings Rev U. G. Foote, of Louis
VILE. arose and addressing the Bish-
op. said: I'VE have enjoyed our
stay here in Hartford very much.
We have been we'll cared for and are
thankful to the good people. How
ever. we wanted to show our appre-
citation TO one in more substantial
way. viii Bro. Napier please stand
up The modest but energetic pas
tor of the local church and also very
energetic master OF ceremonies arose
plainly blushing and embarrassed |
We were determined that this zacch-
Gus should have more substantial
recognition than mere resolutions.
We, and that means nearly every
member OF this conference. thought
we'll to make presentation to him.
We have heard the little birds whis-
pering through the trees something
of interest in connection with the
text. 1T is not we'll for man to be
alone but we did not think II well
TO anticipate. So our gift is not OF
silver or cut glass but this Bible,
this hymnal and this book Of discip-
line nicely bound in full morocco"
Suiting the action to the word DR..
Foote then handed the volumes to-
ward Rev Napier and BishoD Atkins |
