 fore them by the tribute that has been paid to him in the form of the structure known as the Handley Memorial church. | This edifice bearing the name of one ! of the most honored and beloved minis ters who ever lived in this community, | is the work of a devotetd congregation which has co-operatetd in making the | church one that is far reaching in it's in 1 fluence and haven of rest where those who are footsore and weary may find sweetness and joy within its doors.
