 In token of their appreciation, the nanse at TIT Sycamore street had been converted by the ladies of the auxiliary nto veritable bower of bloom, and turing the evening members of the con s-eEation called to extend a warm well nulc to their recently arrived pastor and ais lovely wife, and to add practical scntributions to that interesting cubby- noic of the home, known to housewives ,s "the kitchen pantry
 That-the warm regard of the member ship of South Highlands church for their pastor and his family is reciprocated, is evidenced in the card Nfrom Doctor )obyns that follows:
 'Dr. and Mrs Dobyns desire in this way to assure the people of the church of their most cordial appreciation of the warm welcome and generous help ren- iered by them in so many ways. To .ome suddenly among strangers, and find them all friends. is no common ex- ,erience. The who,e-souled reception. and the substantial assistance, so evident rom the first moment of arrival, make he pastor and his family the more de- ermined to serve you to the highest iegree of faithfulEess. You are daily remembered in the prayers about the sireside of the manse. May you each tiave always the blessing of the Lord t maketh rich and he addeth no sor- row with it''
