Gorrie, in which you have been interested, are glad of this opportunity to express our appreciation of *your services to us. We thank you for your unremitt ing and tireless energy, interest, and active support in all you have under taken. Your interest in the organiza tions has been climaxed by an excel lent attendance at the St. Stephen’s church services. Clare and Maxine, your two children, have not only been sent to Sunday School regularly but have also had a good example in you. There is not an organizational pur suit of the Church but. to which you have given your interest. A gift can never be the measure of services rendered. It is more of a Sacrament in meaning. It is an out ward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual fellowship. Bearing this in mind we would be pleased if you will accept this Electric lamp and this “Royal Quotation” from us. They are to tell you that we have enjoyed your time with us, and that an unbreakable spiritual chain has been forged between us. We wish you well and Godspeed in your new work and future life.
