MRs. Corers—We, the members of the

deep regret of the intended departure
of youself and your family from our
village. We regret more than we
can say the severance of ties that have
been strengthened for about a quarter
of a century of faithful and generous
support of the cause of the Ethel
Methodist church, We will mise you,
especially in the Woman's Missionary
Auxiliary, of which you have been a
member, for many years and in which
you have faithfully performed the
duties of Secretary year after year,
In making you a Life Member of the
Society we hope the cause for which
you have labored may be strengthen-
ed and nue interest in it deepened.
May God's richest blessing abide with
you anal yours throughout the
journey of life.
This world is peopled with the friends

And loved, a year, a month, a week

And patted l'emn with aching hearts,

That through the distance we must

But still so close we feel the Spirit -

So sure are we that these same hearts
are true,
That when in waking dveatns there

VALLEY FARM WAS Goon.— Not
since days of •'O'fRooligan's Weddin,"
20 years ago, has Bluevale been so
much interested in an entertainment
ire it was in the presentation of the 4
Act play, "Valley Farm" by a com-
pany of 12 amateurs, in the Presby-
terian church last Thursday evening.
As on the former occasion of a play
being given by local talent, its fame
had spread and many could not secure
a seat in the church. "Valley, Farm"
is a play of home life, 2 love stories
are interwoven, there are plots and
exposures and delightful bits of
humor. The actors were 6 young men
and 6 young women of the Presbyteri-
an church and according to the
opinion of those who witnessed it,
each one lived the character which
he or she presented. Hetty Holcomb,
of "Valley Farre," marries Harold
Routledge, a member of an aristo-
cratic New York family. These two
difficult parts were very ably taken by
Gerrie Robinson and Cameron Mc-
Donald. After their unarriage, Har-
old's mother (Olive Scott) intrigues to
bring about to separation and is cun-
ningly assisted by Isabel Carnay
(Elva Ramsay). There are cruel mis-
understandings but, in the end love
triumphs and Hedy and Harold are
re -united. Outer characters in the
play each had a special corner to fill
and each did it most acceptably.
Polly Duff, as Alvira Holcomb,
Hefty's old [Haid aunt ; Frank Shaw
as her father, Silas, a funny old
farmer ; Lila Gray, 0e Lizy Ann
Tucker, the neighbor with the borrow-
ing habit ; Harvey Robinson, as Perry

own reformation instrumental in
bringing about the reconciliation ;

CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING.—
Foliowing interesting sketch refers to
a former Methodist pastor on Walton
circuit :—A pleasing and intereeting
event took place at the home of Rev.
and Mrs. W. 51. Pomeroy, Talbot
Road, Maidstone, on Thursday night,
7111 inst.. when with all their children
and many of their grandchildren
about them, they celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary. Mr.
Pomeroy was born in the village of
Newburg, County of Addington, July
10th, 1849, He was ordained deacon
in the Methodist Episcopal church in
1870, and Elder in 1872 by the late
venerable Bishop Richardson, He
has the splendid record of half a cen-
tury of ministerial labor, In 1871 he
was united in marriage to Miss Sarah
Alice Bird at the home of the late
Robert Bird, township of Sydney,
Hastings County. Their marriage
was blessed with the following child-
ren : Perry E., Talbot Road, Maid-
stone ; George L., Buffalo, N. Y.
Erwin L., Good Hope, Alta. ; Cecil
A., Ritchie, Sask. ; Rev. D, Webster,
Mersa, Alta. ; Mrs, Helen McCallum,
Forest, Out. ; Mrs. Bird Johnston,
Bradley, South Dakota, and Mrs,
Grace Little, of Windsor. 2 of the
bride's aunts who were present at the
wedding 50 years ago, one of whore,
Mrs. Rose, of Detroit, was the brides-
maid at that ceremony, were also pres-
ent, the ober being Mre. Southard,
Chicago. And so, surrounded once
more by their children and grand-
children, all united to bring them
honor and affectionand make the oc-
casion one that will long remain in
the memory of those who were per-
mitted to be present, the gratitude of
their children found a practical ex-
pression in the gift of purses of money
to father and mother, while v tie tl1atof
manyfriends 111 numerous nn
dv nlu-
able gifts. A pleasing feature
of the
occasion was when a number of mem-
bers of the Maidetoue Methodist
church gathered in a surprise visit,
representing the Sunday school, Ep-
worth League and Ladies' Aid, past.
or, Rev. F. Stride, in a few words of
congratulation and esteem presented
the bride and groom of 50 years with a
handsome and comfortable chair as a
token of their affection
and regard.
e rd.
Mr, Pomeroysuitably ably responded in a
few words of grateful appreciation.
During the evening also, former
parishioners and friends unexpectedly
arrived from Essex, Amheretburg,
Pelee Island,Cobtam, Windsor and
Detroit, i
t
, and added to the my of the
occasion.
Man letters
of congratula-
tion
l
a -
tion
were received from almost every
province in the Dominion, and from
several of the American States, In
1918, Mr. Pomeroy was superannuated
from the active work of the ministry,
and settled on the Maidstone circuit,
one of his former charges, Islet a
short dietat °
i e from the
church, he
purchased a farm, and built himself a
comfortable home, The tnany friends
