DEAR HELEN: 0 little Bride, today you set Your feet on pathways strange and new And. looking on your lovely face I would wish only joy for you. A. home—wide windowed to the sun, New dishes on a pantry shelf; A corner cupboard bright and new, That you can fix to suit yourself. A fireplace -a window seat, Old fashioned flowers all, a -bloom; ' Bright cushions, bits of tapestry, A little homelike friendly room. But mostofall I wish for you, Love that will keep, its beauty bright, Untarnished as the years go by, A candle burning in the night. Two hearts where time may gently work The blessed miracle of growth; May life be rich and full of joy And kindly bless you both. We rejoice with you in the hap- piness which is to be yours but it is with regret that we must lose you from our community. At all times we have found you ready and willing to help in the different organizations of the church and we shall indeed miss you. In your new home to which you are going we hope that you may have every happiness and joy abundant. That the memory of the folks of Ben - miller United Church may be ever before you. We ask you to accept this token of our friendship as a small expression of our appreciation for' your help in the past, and with it also accept our sincere wish that your future may be filled with hap- piness.—Signed: 14Irs.
