I cannot, owing to the pressure of duties incident to my near departure to my new field of lalior, write to all the kind friends iu lietlmnv church who remembered that Mrs. McLean and I had been 25 years on the journey of our married life. We feel deeply their kindness, because it assures us that there are churches where the relations between pastor and iieople are not merely official. That we have retained the affec tion of our old time friends of Bethauv Church, even after forming new re lations, is a large grain of comfort and cheer that we will carry with us through life. Wo take, therefore, this opportunity to thank our friends of Bethany Church for the silver re membrance and the golden affection. Very truly yours, Robert McLean. F. J.
