The Pastoral Address contains contains these two paragraphs: "We are learning in these world-rocking world-rocking days that the service of God is not expressed in the formal observances of rites and ceremonies, but is glorious with the crimscm-hued symbols of sacrifice. Many of our best and bravest have gone or are on the eve of going to the war-torn fields of Europe, while some have poured out the wine of youth to maintain in righteousness the foundations of God's kingdom in the earth." "Your pastor gratefully acknowledges the zeal and loyalty with which you rallied rallied to the work and born the inconveniences inconveniences arising from the absence of himself and our choirmaster, Lieut. C. C. Laugher, in the King's service. We are thankful to Bro. H. B. Neal for the faithful discharge discharge of his duties".
