port of ministers. He had an exalt- ed opinion of the Christian ministry. His own pastors. especially, he loved and honored. That is a noble trait.
 I am glad of the opportunity to en- phasize that fact. But he was not confined to Methodist ministers in his attachments. He was a true ! friend of the late Rev Dr. Miles, a long time the honored pastor of the
 Congregational church in this city.
 Father Keena, the beloved priest of
 the Catholic church in Bristol. shared in his good wishes and bene- l faction. Both Of these two gentle | men were my trusted and helpful | friends.
 Praises Love of Children "One more thing MT. Sessions stood for. and should be mentioned here, was his interest and love for children. Our good friend loved children so much that he counted l it an unkindness 10 curb their froic
 and fun, and he though, it almost wicked 10 check their hilarious Ia lltNl, iio llidlltl " HtlS they NelG.
 He gave host of children on Chip
 pens Hill and in Bristol a glorious time. It was a joy to him to do it.
 Think for a minute of the hun dreds, maybe thousands, of men and women all over this country and in homes and children of their own, filling responsible positions and liv- ing the true Christian life largely through the influence and guidance of William Sessions in their child hood days in the Bristol and Mount
 Hope Sunday schools. He beautiful ly served his God and his age in the
 lives of those he ministered.
 This picture in oils. presented by
 Mrs. William Edwin Sessions and
 her two sons to this church is a worthy and Christian act, and through the coming years will be a constant reminder of the nobility of
 the man who loved his church and
 did so much for it. You, I am sure, will appreciate Mrs. Sessions gift by emulating the example of the man we loved so much.
 John Humphrey Sessions, John Henry Sessions and William E. Ses- sions-all of them have gone to their | reward, but their names are indeli- bly, written on this noble structure,
 given largely by them for the serv- ice of God and for your use and 1 benefit. l gladly offer to you and to
 my good friend. your beloved pastor,
 Rev. Hubert D. Jones, my congratu- lations and pray that God may bless
 you and prosper you all"
