A FAREWELL SERVICE.

By Editor

FEBRUARY 1 the services of Mr. C. H. Jones, who had been for twenty-seven years connected with this institution, and for over a score of years its manager, closed by the acceptance of his resignation. He felt that he must have a rest for several months at least before taking up active duties again, that in the face of warnings of the physicians he could not go farther. His resignation was accepted by the Board of Directors to take effect February 1. The evening of February 3 there was a meeting of the office employees, a farewell gathering to bid Brother Jones Godspeed and express their appreciation of his long service and fellowship. At that time an autograph album, bound in the office bindery, and filled with the names of the employees, was presented by Elder W. N. Glenn, who has been here for twenty-nine years, in a happy speech in behalf of the employees. The evening was filled with appropriate songs and music and remarks by various foremen. Among other things was an original poem by C. M. Snow. We give it because the sentiment is that which we are sure will be helpful to others.
