Dedication

Front Inscription

The teachers and scholars of the Sabbath Schools connected with this place of worship have erected this tablet to the  memory of Arthur Gravely who was an exemplary member of the Church of Christ

And also the devoted and efficient Secretary of these schools during the period of ten years.

In the midst of great usefulness and with the prospect of a long and honourable Christian and mercantile career he was  suddenly called away from the cares and anxieties of life, leaving a widow and three children to mourn this loss of a most  loving husband and father on the 31st of October 1852.

Work while it is called today, for the night cometh in which no man can work.
