Many Assemble to Bid "God Speed" to Miss Lora Clement Who Leaves on October 5th for Vancouver as Missionary.
A large and interested congregation gathered at the First Baptist church Sunday evening to bid God speed to Miss Lora Clement, who leaves on the 5th of October to represent the First church on the foreign field.
The Methodists and Presbyterians united with the Baptists in this service and short talks were made by Rev. J. L. Daniel, pastor of the Grace Methodist church; Rev. J. F. Matheson, pastor of the First Presbyterian church and Rev. J. D. Croft, pastor of the Second Baptist church. Each one congratulated the church upon having one of their number in the foreign field and paid a high tribute to the young woman who had given her life to this work.
Rev. George P. White, pastor of the First Baptist church, stated that the church felt that she had been peculiarly blessed in having a representative on the foreign field and would provide for Miss Clement's support and outgoing expenses.
Just before the close of the services Miss Clement delivered an address which was appropriate and inspiring. She expressed herself as feeling honored that she was called to this work and except for leaving her loved ones there was no sadness in her heart by reason of having to go. She spoke for 20 minutes and the large congregation listened attentively and with sympathy.
Miss Clement will leave on the 5th of October for Vancouver, where she will join a party of missionaries returning to their work in the foreign land.
