THE STORY OF A KANSAS PARISH


the public eye, but it is the private whose courage and faith and fighting make possible the victory; and so to write the names and works of the per- sons who have ceaselessly and self sacrificingly labored for God and His Cause in this Parish would be to call a muster roll which would take at least one person from nearly every pew in the church. Dearly beloved, "God is not unrighteous that He will forget your works and labor that pro- ceedeth of love." Of guilds, of schools, of official boards, of the whole congregation let it still be said that "the people had a mind to work."


And now the story ends, and with it the rec- torate of him who has compiled it. This past summer when I read and wrote I did not dream that my pen should close the chapter of my own work in this strong parish. But such is the case ; and as I put aside the pen I wish its last words to be those of that ancient man of God, who quoted his Master and said : "Speak to the children of Israel that they go forward." Your past record reads well ; make the future pages of your his- tory read better, by making the present day's work a continuous record of progress in all that counts for good and God.
