That you may know that your friends appreciate fully the conscien tious effort which was put into your work as teacher in the High School we offer these words of tribute. The strength of many of your best years went into giving of painstaking and thorough instruction to those who had a will and mind to learn.

We must acknowledge to you who helped us to be glad that “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” (Prov. '17:32), While we cannot pay you back in kind, we trust that this gesture on the part of your friends will serve to lift a load from your heart at this time of parting, and that your mem ory of us will often produce in your heart a melody of cheer.

Wishing you God’s richest blessing at all times we present this our fare well with true sincerity and good will. May you find encouragement in these lines from the pen of Henry Van Dyke. “Let me but live my life from year to year, With forward face and unreluc- tant soul; Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal; Not mourning fox’ the songs that dis appear In the dim past, not holding back in’ fear From what the future veils; but with a whole And happy heart, that pays its toll To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer. So let the way, wind up the hill or down, O’er rough or smooth, the jour ney will be joy; Still seeking what but a boy, New friendship, high a crown, Mly heart will keep the guest, And hope the road’s last turn will be the best.” Presented by representatives of Caven Presbyterian Church, Exeter, Ontario, December Nineteenth, the "Tear of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-five. we, of express ns who greatly I sought when adventure, and the courage of LOCAL NEWS Miss Pearl Love is visiting ■ relatives in Buffalo.
