Tears were shed by
members of the congrega
tion last Sunday when
Rev. C.F. Aldersley, pas
tor of Memoria: Moravian
Church, announced that
he would be leaving in
July for a new assign
ment at Antigua. A hard,
tireless worker, -who kept
an amazing number of
church organizations and
functions going with
splendid results, R e wv.
Aldersley endeared him
self to the congregation,
who looked upon him not
alone as a minister, but
as a friend and counselor.
They were so surprised
and shocked that when
the pastor announced a
song after the disclosure,
no one sang, and all day
church members called
on him to express heart
felt regret.
