A Job Well Done

New York, 1895

The Rev. Dr. Poulson will terminate his pastorate of the Methodist Episcopal church in Jamaica with the assembling of Conference this year, and the official board of the church has put on record expressions of the joy it has found in his ministry and the sorrow that will be felt at parting with him. We believe that the people of Jamaica of whatever belief will heartily regret the departure of Dr. Poulson. His has been at all times the conduct of a gentleman and the deportment of a true clergyman. His mission has been to preach a pure Gospel, to minister to the sick, to help the needy, and in all these works he has won the love and esteem of the people. The parish that secures the services of such a man of God will have abundant reason for self-gratulation.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, March 15, 1895, p. 4.
