[Bay Of Plenty Times, Volume XLII, Issue 6088, 16 March 1914, Page 5] An impressive memoriam service was held in the Mission Hall on Sunday evening, Mr Climie officiating, the solemnity of the occasion being added to by the news of the death of Mr SERGEANT, a devoted adherent of the church and a member of the choir. The preacher delivered a most earnest and eloquent address, emphasising the fact that that there was but a step between life and death, and exhorting his hearers to so live their lives as to be prepared for that great change which might at any moment overtake them. At the conclusion of the service the organist phyed the Dead March, during which the congregation uiiained standing, after which the benediction was pronounced. 1914/872 Serjeant Stewart 48Y[Te Puke Times, Volume II, 17 March 1914, Page 2 and Page 3 [3]
