Address was as follows :—
Miss FLORENCE IMLAY,
DEAR TEACIIER,—Knowing that the
relations existing bet:wee:ins as teach- ..
er and pupils is about et.. be severed,
we your pupils and friends' of S. S. No.
5, are gathered here this evening to
bid you farewell also to express to you
the sorrow that the very pleasant as -
socia tions which bound us together
for the past si years are soon to be
broken, We do appreciate your ef-
fru ts to advance the welfare of the
pupils, both mentally and morally
and trust that in the years to come
you will be able to look back on these
years sp.ent with us, as a very pleas-.
ant period in your life, as it also
has been in ours. It is a great re-
spousibility to have a part in mould-
ing the character of the risinggenera-
tion. May you have the joy and
satisfaction of seeing the pupils you
have taught in our school grow up
to be true men and women, useful,
honest, loyal citizens of our great
Empire and know that part of the re-
sults, at least: was brought about by
the influence of your splendid charae-
Ler. We ask you to accept these
tokens of our esteem and respect for
you. May you often use this pen to
write to your old pupils of No. 5 and
may the brightness of Lhe gold laval-
ter often remind you of the bright
days we have spent together. We
trust your lot will be cast in pleasant
places and may all your wrinkles
come from happy smiles,
Though the circling flight of years
may find us
Far apart or severed more and. more,
Yet the farewell always lies behind us
And the welcome always lies before,
Meanwhile God is leading surely,
slowly
Through the shadows, with a hand
of love,
To the House where 'mid the myriads
holy
Only welcomes wait us all above.
Signed on behalf of the Section.
HENRY JOHNSON,
Chairman Board of Trustees.
Miss Imlay replied very gracefully,
thanking the people of the Seeder' for
their kindness to her, not only thab
night but through all her term at No.
5 and left as a message with her pupils
those beautiful words of Kingsley's,
"Be good dear child and let who will
Do ibeilevtere
mbehngs, not dream them
And
allmdattkye long,
death and that vast
forever be
One grand sweet song.
Jas. Russell spoke a few words, he
being the oldest man in the Section

home and anyone who wished to con-
tribute anything to entertain did so.
Miss Imlay is a daughter of John
and Mrs, Imlay, Wingham and a sis-
ter to Nurse Imlay, of the same town.
