During these live years our soeiety has had a varied experi- ence, NVC have seen the departure of old mem- bers and the reception od new ones, we have seen seasons of depression and seasons of en- couragemeno, yet through it all we can truly say that we have been one in heart and pm - pose, each striving for the same end the exten- sion of Christ s Kingdom. As members we began with a feeling of re- spect for our President,this has given pled° to a feeling of affection as we have come to know her better and to appreciate the self sacrifice necessary to be present at the Saturday meet- ings which involved always the necessity of leaving home and work early th the afternoon. Hence we feel that wo canna let you go with - mit giving you some tangible evidence of what we feel, so would ask you to accept this Bible. The gift is unassuming because NVO felt that to have it otherwise would, bemit of harmony with the work in whieh NVO aro engaged, but we give it in sympathy and love, trusting that although you may not be in our little circle, you may yet be spared to many years of useful - less in the society.
