dered to Give Up Work.

Reverend Dudley B. Ashford is an ex-
traordinary man. Although still on the

service to humanity into a few years
than most men accomplish in a e-time.
Soon after his graduation from Harley
College, London, England, he was or
dained minister at the famous New
Court Congregational church. London. A
short time thereafter he was selected to
present the cause of Congo Reform and
African Missions before the people of
Norway and toured that land with such
success that he was greeted by enormous
crowds at every meeting.
In 1908. under the auspices of the Co
lonial Missionary Society, he was sent to
New Zealand and for three years labored
as missionary among the Maoris, where
his experiences were novel and thrilling.
In 1916 he returned to England and
served for three years at Wood Street
Congregational church. Cardiff. South
Wales, the biggest Congregational church
in the British Empire. 1t was while here
that he fell one Of the early victims Of
the great 1918 flu epidemic, an attack
from which he had not fully recovered

Road Congregational church, ST. John

ing soon attracted record congregations.
The strain Of this work upon his IN

and he suffered a nervous breakdown.
from which now. however, he has com
pletcly recovered. Moved by desire TO
serve his fellow men he has recently
written a letter that tells how he was
restored to health and strength.
Moved by Gratitude.
This letter. addressed to The Tanlac

sion of gratitude and is as follows:
