through all the years from this noble source.

We gratefully accept the trust put upon us, promising to use it
as a stimulus for increased activity on the part of the Christian
Church, and we offer our prayer to the Divine Father, that he may
abundantly bless the remaining years of our honored friend with
the grace of His Spirit and the joy that follows the
accomplishment of the desires of a heart burdened with the love
of our suffering and ignorant fellow men.

Prayer was offered by Rev. Thomas A. Emerson, of Clinton, Conn.
