However, in the years that have just passed it has seemed a long time when sickness, death and trouble is around, but as the silver clouds shine again it is only yester- day since you two were made man and wife and in those years you have been spared the strength of each other to help over the rough roads that come to strengthen us and make you the good and kindly neighbors you have always been, as nobody gets a negative answer when asked for help in time of need, from either of you. It is friends like you folks that make a community more sociable and after all that is what we are fighting for at the present time as we were 25 years ago and I hope this year,your silver anniversary year, will bring the world war out on top and you spared to serve us again as you folks have in the past. We can- not let this occasion go by without showing in some little way how much we appreciate your thoughtfulness and many acts of kindness and as the old, old saying is "A friend in need is a friend indeed." Kindly accept this gift from your neighbors and friends." A lovely set of dishes was then presented to them by Mrs. Har- old Sellers, besides these they re- ceived many beautiful pieces of sil- ver to mark their anniversary. A suitable reply was given by Mr. and Mrs. Bennett in which they thanked their many friends for such acts of kindness, All sang ",For They Are jolly Good Fellows."

Shannon made the pres- entation: 'Dear Mr. Johnston, We, the members of this Sunday School take great pleasure in extending to you an appreciation of the very faithful service which you have ren- dered during the seventeen years that you have been our Superinten- dent. We believe that you are the third to serve your church in this way in all of the seventy-seven years since the Sunday School was organ- ized. The two good men who pre- ceded you laid the foundation strong and deep and you have built well thereon. We are glad that your resignation does not mean removal from among us and glad to know that you are carrying on as assistant to our new superintendent. We very much appreciate the good comrade- ship which always marked your at - dude towards teachers and pupils alike; these are times that words fail to convey the real motives which prompt us, so we would ask you to accept this little gift as a token of love and appreciation, knowing that your prayers and efforts will always be on behalf of this Sunday School.
