GONE BEFORE
We sadly miss an absent
Yet strive to say, ‘‘Thy will be done,
Oh, Father,” though it rends the
heart,
For our beloved one to part.
Yet we believe in tenderst love,
God took her home to dwell abpve;
Though all unseen from mortal sight
Faith loves to trace her upward
flight.
She’s gone—forever from our side;
We struggle still with life’s rough
tide,
Nature will mourn—we’ll drop a
tear,
Our Saviour wept when he was here.
Consoling thought to feel and know
In times of lonliness and Woe,
Our deepest griefs, and saddest
cares,
The sympathizing Saviour shares.
Till life’s dark day is changed
light,
And faith is lost in perfect sight,
With precious ones now gone
fore;
We’ll meet again on life’s bright
shore.

PRESENTATION AND ADDRESS
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Armstrong was the scene of a very
pleasing event last Thursday even
ing when about fifteen couples met
to take part in an address and pres
entation, given in honor of Mr. and
Mrs. M. E. Gardiner. The address
was given by Mr. Ed. Treble, who
called on Mrs. B. W. F. Beavers to
make the presentation, being a
cabinet of community plate. Al
though taken completely by surprise
Mr. Gardiner and wife replied in a
few well chosen words, thanking
then* friends for their thoughtful
kindness. All joined in singing
‘‘For They are Jolly Good Fellows.”
The remainder of the evening was
spent in various amusements, fol
lowed by lunch, all doing justice to
the good things prepared by the
ladies. A vote of thanks was th«n
moved by Mr. Beavers /hanking Mr.
and Mrs. Armstrong for their hos
pitality, after which all joined hands
and singing, ‘‘Shall Old Acquaintance
be Forgot.” .
Following was the address:

We, your friends and neighbors
have met together this evening to
honor this occasion by showing our
friendship and good ’will on the eve

full of sympathy and understanding
in our sorrows as well as joys, the
best of neighbors, the truest of
friends and although your place
among us cannot easily be filled, we
know the residents in your future
field of labor and home town will
be the gainers. We hope youi* life
in the town of Meaford will bo one
of peace and prosperity. Your gen
erosity and kindly words of ^ood
cheer to the sorrowing have meant
much to many of Us. And now we
would ask yon to accept this cabinet
of silver as a small token of oui*
friendship. Asking Gbd to bless you
