DEAR MRS, CHAMBERS.—The Mem-

gratnl'rte you upon the attaimuent of

the envy of all ladies. Just to think a
birthday once in 4 years—the 20th of
February— coming ouly :about once
in 70 years on Sunday. So we felt we
would like to celebrate this birthday
with you. Weare reut nded of your -
faithfulness as teacher in the Primacy
department During the 25 years or
thereabouts that you have been con-
nected with our Mut yeti and school:
There are few of our young people
who have not had thei, first, lessons in
religious training at your hands, and
yam kindness as a teacher endeared
ynu to them as children, Your
humble, consistent, kindly, Ohristiau
character, has attracted you to them
and to us all. As the year's have
flown by we are sure those whore
you have taught will always 11,11d you
in revered memory. Some will spend
their lives in our own community, but
many will cherish in their hearts the
love of God and shed the radiance of a
Ohrtstian life to those about them,
Lhe first principles or which they
learned from you. Now dear Mrs,
Chambers we beg you to accept this
Life Membership in the Woman's
