The Rev. Mr. Alexander will always have the gratitude of the parishioners for his devoted work for boys. Many a young man of today attributes his loyalty to the Church to the hold on him during the early years of his youth maintained through the efforts of this successful leader of boys. Mr. Alexander remained in the parish so long and acted in the capacity of minister-in-charge so acceptably that parishioners of this city still think of him as having been a true pastor. Since 1915 he has been rector of St. Mark's Church in Leominster, Mass., and of St. John's Church in Worcester, Mass., which position he still holds as successor to the Rev. Walton S. Danker who gave his life when chaplain in the world war.
