The teachers and officers of the school met at her home on Monday evening the 22nd inst ,and presented her with the following address beautifully framed and done on a scroll in old English letters, by Mr. Frank Weekes. Mr. and Mrs. Samweli kindly entertained the company the remainder of the _evening. • To Mrs. Geo. Barnwell,—Your' recent, resignation as a teacher of our Sab- bath school has impressed us with .the feeling that, we cannot allow the occa- sion to pass without . expressing in some way our: appreciation of your labors as . a Sunday . school teacher. For forty-two years you have been a faithful and earnest teacher of this school. This long term of service is .a record to which very few are privileg- ed to attain, and fewer still. are per- , mitted to remain so Iong connected with the same school. Your work bas been entirely a service of love. The good that you have accompiisbed through the influence ' which have been set in operation by the numbers of scholars whom you have had, under your charge during these many years cannot be estimated. We .sympa- thise with you in the cause . which has brought about your resigna- tion, namely, • declining health and we sincerly hope and pray that you may be long spared to other ser- vices fitted to the afternoon of life, and when life's day is o'er, that you may receive the commendation, " Well done thou good and faithful servant enter thou -into the jog of thy Lord" Signed on behalf of the teachers and officers of Cavan Presbyterian church Sabbath 'School.
