Edna presided at the organ as it was also a parish service in charge of a former rector, Rev. George Garratt, assist- ed by Lay Reader Reuben Burnett. Three ladies from the Lucknow Choir and Mrs. Jean Hodgins of Wingham joined with the choir here and they sang a lovely an- them, Sing Ye Praises to the Father. Rev. Garratt in his sermon gave a touching message and paid tribute to Edna's faith- fulness and said, "I pond- ered much over this message for in all of my ministry I never had the glorious oppor- tunity of paying tribute to anyone for such a length of time dedicated to her duty." He then dedicated a bronze plaque in Edna's honour, which hangs beside the organ in the church. Following the service all went to the church basement which the ladies had made into a most attractive dining room. The tables were lovely with their white linen cloths and vases of sweet peas. The head table was cen- tred with a beautiful layer cake made in the style of a baby grand piano, iced in white and decorated with red roses, black and white key board and it was placed on legs and had a piano bench. On the top of the cake was a gilded Cross and two candel- abra. This was a gift to Edna made and decorated by Mrs. Wayne Rhody and admired by everyone. Rev. George Garratt was master of ceremonies making some pleasing remarks and extending a welcome to everyone. He called on church warden, Ron Gilles- , pie, who spoke so kindly of Edna and presented her with a card with all the names of the congregation and a gen- erous money gift enclosed. The ACW president, Mrs. Delbert Hedley, was then called upon and she made the presentation of a dozen red roses on behalf of the ACW members. Murray Cardiff M.P. for Huron -Bruce, brought greet- ings from the House of Commons and his own per- sonal best wishes. John Scott, church warden from Ripley, brought greetings on behalf of the church and the relatives who were present. Ann Pritchard, organist from St. Peters Anglican Church, Lucknow, extended best wishes and stated that she didn't intend to remain an organist for that long a time. Edna then made a fitting reply and said she was overwhelmed with all of the goodness to her and thanked all who had supported her through the years. She thanked everyone for the gifts and all of the hard work that was done in preparation for the day. She then introduced her sister, May. May, not know- ing that she was supposed to speak, also expressed thanks to everyone and introduced the relatives at the head table and added a humorous anecdote about each person. Many friendships were renewed and a number of pictures were taken. Rela- tives were then received at the Boyle home and a time of visiting was enjoyed followed by a smorgasbord supper. Assisting May in the kit- chen were Jean Hodgins and Norma Coutts of Wingham. Then farewells had to be said to relatives from Bur- lington, Exeter, Lucan, Cam- lachie, Toronto and Bayfield, and those closer to home. It was the end of a perfect day. Edna also received greet- ings from Bishop David Ragg, Bishop Morse C. Rob- inson and Bishop Derwyn D. Jones, Bishop William Town- shend, Mrs. Muriel Apple - yard,. wife of the late Bishop H. F. Appleyard, all of London; Captain Ted Palmer of the Salvation Army, St. Thomas; Rev. D. L.
