was completely shut off from the

that means of travel was almost nil

Exetei’ Ontario.
January 26, 1943.
To Mr, ’and Mrs. George S. Howard;
Dear friends,
The gathering tonight of the Adult
Bible Class of Main Street United
Church, has a two-fold purpose. The
primary motive is to have a social
time, that we may know each other
better, be more understanding of oui’
peculiarities, differences, likes and
dislikes, and to be able to attain
greater heights in our Christian lives.
The second motive is to do honor
to you Mr. Howard, the retiring
teacher of this class. You and your
esteemed wife became members of
our church in 1925 when the union
of the Presbyterian, Methodist and
the Congregational churches was
consumated. Shortly aftex’ this you
were appointed teacher of the Young
Married Peoples’ Class of OUr Sun
day School. Gradually the older mar
ried people and the younger married
folks joined together to make a more
enthusiastic class, under the leader
ship of yourself and Mr. George
Mawson.
You have carried on the Work
since the retirement of Mr. Mawson,
and have been faithful as a teacher
in ths Sunday School, as well as tak
ing a leading part in the other or
ganizations of the church. We ap
preciate the wonderful service you
