A telegram was received from the Doj minion Executive of the Churches of Christ conveying the. congratulations and good wishes of the executive. I Mr Earle, in responding to the wel- | come, expressed the wish that all would j enjoy a happy period of service to- ! gether, and that his life and work among them would measure up to their highest expectations, and that above all they would win the approval of God.
