Mr. and Mrs. Perrie have moved into the new manse near the church in Shakespeare. Mrs. Perrie is originally from the Princeton area. Before leaving the Beechwood area, Mr. and Mrs. Perrie were honoured by the congregation there. One special number enjoyed by all was a duet beautifully sung by Mr. and Mrs. Perrie "Unto the hills around do I lift up". Before singing this lovely Psalm, Mr. Perrie said the words would be sung as the prayer of their hearts for their people they would soon be leaving. Bill Lumsden and Ray 'McPhail, of the Sessions of Beechwood and West Adelaide spoke on behalf of their church and each expressed regrets that it was an evening of 'good-byes'. They spoke highly of the years Mr. Perrie devoted himself to his many pastoral duties which were always carried out with Christ- like love and devotion. Miss Phyllis Hodings read the following lines which she had penned for the occasion. To Rev. and Mrs. Perrie We are gathered as a group tonight, as we'v,e been gathered times before. But tonight we have a task to do, which. is why I took the floor. Mr. Perrie we all thank you, for everything you've done. For the ways in which you're special, to each and ' every one. You've been with our families ever since you moved back from out West and preached for call, and of them all, you were the very best. So tonight we pay a tribute, for the part of your career which you found fit to spend with us for close to seven years. Those years that saw' so many things, there've been ,weddings, deaths and b irths. You've shared a family sorrow, but also in their mirth. There are some folks here whose children have 'been christened by your hands, You have officiated others in their exchange of wedding bands. You've seen girls become young ladies and boys grow into men, Watched youth exchange with age a bit, time and time again. You've comforted our elderly, our y outh you've counselled well, When sick y ou've been our visitor, welcomed more than words can tell. And Mrs. Perrie you should be thanked and duely noted, For being for our minister, a wife strong and devoted. And Mrs. Perrie though you haven't been here quite so long, You've gained and earned respect from us, respect that's not placed wrong. And though we're sad to see you go, God needs you elsewhere more. And we ask Him for His blessing, to guide you as before. We trust that while in Shakespeare you will feel His presence near, But in familiar words--we hope you leave and know it's good to have been here, And so until we meet again, we wish you both the best, ,Take comfort in the fact that you have left us richly blessed. On behalf of the three sister churches, Hugh Rose of Beechwood presented Mr. Petrie with a wallet containing a love gift and Jack Nethercott of West Adelaide gave Mrs. perie a lovely bouquet of red carnations symbolizing love. Mr. perrie graciously expressed the thanks of both himself and Mrs. perrie for the gifts. He said it was most fitting that .this lovely evening be held at Centre Road since it would be seven years ago on October 16 that his induction service was also held at Centre Road. It was an honour to have Mr. Perrie's parents from Brussels in attendance at this special evening. $10,230.95 12,229.28 $22,460.23 TWAT COMPANY spoke ie.* W.W,Cmisins, Manager Listowel, Ontario THE BRUSSELS POST, OCTOBER 15, 1975 JIM CARDIFF REAL •ESTATE BROKER — GENERAL INSURANCE Agent for Howick Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance FIRE — AUTO — LIABILITY Phones: Office 887-6100 Residence 887-6164 iry Supplies Brus 887-6694
