Conclusion      :A perusal of the life story of late Rev.P.A Samuel and his children and grandchildren,etc, will certainly and conspicuously reveal the universal truth that those who obey God will be blessed with Wisdom and all other blessings.  .Rev.P.A. Samuel  served God willingly and enthusiastically and now it is really heartening to know that his children and grandchildren are also giving much honour to  the  holy God, Church related activities and  charity works .This family has produced  many eminent Musicians including vocal Singers, key Board players and Guitarists and so we can call this family as a Musical family. The unity that prevails among the  children of late Rev. P.A. Samuel  and their children is so amazing , "How Good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity" [ Psalm 133 : 1 ] The marvellous travel done by this family from  a little known village called Maraukalthalai  to some magnificent metropolitan cities like Toronto, London and Florida, etc  fills our minds with great joy and amazing wonder .The descendants of Rev P.A. Samuel are doing very well in the field of Medicine, Nursing , Education, Music, Social Work, and Church Activities, etc, . It is not possible to cover  all  the aspects, facets  and accomplishments of this  blessed family within the space of this Article . Now I will  end this Article with the following sentence, "I thank God for the beautiful and blessed family of late Rev. P.A. Samuel  of MELIM / IELC, and his blessed Descendants"
