There were friends frail Saginaw and Turner, Mich., Toronto,` Brockville, Metz, Clinton, Goderich, Wingham, Auburn and Blyth. A sumptuous, hot supper was served by the family, at the close of which toasts were proposed and responded to by Mrs. (Rev.) O'Dell, Rev. W. J. Taylor, Dr. A. S. McDowell, Mr, A. B. Carr and Mr. J. H. McClinton, Rev. Mr. O'Kelt being master of ceremonies. At the table on either side of the aged bride and groom, sat their attendants of fifty years ago. At the opposite table it e(anunbroken were their eleven children n family) while round about thein, were twenty-five grand -children and five great grandchildren. A very pretty sight was the wedding cake with fifty lighted candles. After teahad been served, the crowd re- paired to the drawing room whore the tot - lowing address was read by Dr A.' S. Me Dowell, eldest son, followed by a generous presentation of gold pieces.

There were also beautitul gifts from the neigh - hors and other friends. The remainder of the evening was spent in musicand song The following address was read:, ad.• Dear father and mother:= - The occasion that has brought us to- gether ogether as a fancily and: as relatives and friends marks the end of an epoch in our family life. Fifty years of married life, half a century has elapsed. Today as we gather to celebrate the golden wedding day we must needs let Fond Recollection assume bet rightful place in carrying us back to the days of yore. The past is redolent with the scenes of bygone days. One by one they. crowd upon our minds, a in vast panorama, with its unending series of pictures, some vague, others clear-cut add definite. To father and mother come the early pioneer days with the kind-hearted, stalwart, dependable people who associated with them avid the primeval forests, gave to us of later days a civilization of solid worth.Then followed a gradual evolutionlution of development ih the work on the farms asthe years have passed making work less of a task, indeed often -a positive pleasure. To us all as a family we have often Mar- velled as"Memory has brought the light of other days' around us" that we have been given the supreme blessing of life, good health, and that all our lives .have been spared through alt these years. This makes the occasion today a unique one and a cause of much gratification and rejoicing. . Another scene we must needs hang on memory's will is that of our pleasant as- sociations with our old neighbors. Not one but was a friend in need, or who at any and all times thought of himself alone but did not consider his duties well per- formed unless they were shared unselfishly with •those he lived near by. And the un- selfish spirit, the willingness to assist one another in promoting the welfare of the neighborhood in a mutual co-operation has not passed as the older neighbors have left us. The newer neighbors are as kind, as helpful and as loyal as the old. Again the scene shifts to the little church where for years the community assembled for worship later,te be followed by the r r present more a com odi u m commodious structure. e. As a r~ommunity centre for promoting the moral and religious welfare.what inestima ble value it has been to this community. We revere the memory of the faithful :min- isters o the gospel and e - f h g p l . the staunch Christ- ian men- and women ,who have been. enabled to place this community on a high religious plane. Closely related to the church has been the taint promot i ng, the welfare of the boys and girls. What cherished memories are ours of the old school days! And so, the memories of the past are in- effably bound up with the scenes of early days, with ..kind neighbors and friends, church and school, and these are erasing the choicest- blessings of life. Added to these is another unknown to many millions of Earth's `family --that of living in the country. Who of us is Mere who does not love the peaceful quietude of the country, the verdure' of the springtime, the bloom of summer and the rich com- pleteness of, autumn with its Variegated coloring? Who of us from one of these hills but has been impressed with the beauty of the landscape, for this township has much natural beauty if only we have eyes to behold it. But what of the future? Age is not measured by years, While the' heart beats young one is never old.May we hope that for you the future may hold out new allurements that may continue to as- sociate you actively with those things that Will bring contentment and a perpetual joy to your lives. 'o you we tender our gratitude that you so well hveearriedo t your trust in caring for our interests as children, We marvel at the fidelity, the arduous toil, the patience shown us. We, with our small families, eanietirnee think that we have problems of no entail magnitude in rearing our obstreperous offspring, and the only way we can explain the matter of on in bigfamily herrn y I our faint Y to our children le by telling thein that we were models of perfection when we were boys and girls. We are deeply grateful for the Christian ideals set before us in the old. horse. And thus as we have gorse out into homes of our own we have better understood our duty to God and to those we come into t:ontact with. It is befitting that we, as a amily and as relatives, show In some tan- gible way our apprectaton of your loyal service to us as children and your unselfish, tnidivided support of all the uplifting ootn. icy inner is las'well ant time c1ctsldte the eommunity. Bt to rci'ang yrea the gold pitta% we express the how that the future may hold out for you the choirest'blessinge of life for many yeera to , come.
