The .address was as follows:' Thames Road Church, April 26, 19 40 Mr. William Moodie Dear Mr. Moodie,— We, the Superintendent, officers, teachers, pupils and friends of the Thames Road Sunday School, have met tonight for the purpose of showing our appreciation of your, work during your term as Superin­ tendent. We believe that anything to be a success must have a leader who is interested in the work. We feel that during your term of office in the Sunday School, that you endeavored, so far a.s you were able, to give leadership and guid­ ance to the school. There may have been times when we differed in opinion - but we never disagreed in this point - that in your heart the Sunday School was very dear to you, and that no time or labpr on its behal,f was ever begrudged by you. We regret that time marches on - and in its going - chance must take place - forcing some to lay down the tasks they enjoy - not willingly - but because of necessity. We as a Sunday School wish to show our appreciation to you for your untiring serviced and faithful­ ness and We ask you to accept this gift - not as a payment, because your work could never be fully re­ paid - but as a token of remem­ brance in the hope that each hour that passes by may bring' to you and yours, fond memories of our Sunday School and a work which can be summed up in two words, namely “Well Done.” Signed' on behalf of the Thames Road Sunday School; Aimer Ste­ wart, Leslie H.
