is the address:
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Shier and Gladys
We, your friends and neighbors
and fellow church-workers meet
with you in this social .gathering to
night. We understand that in or
der to make room for a new home
it is your intention to leave the farm
where yon have spent so many happy
years, and' take up a new home in
St. Marys.
We do not need to remind you
that you will be very much missed
fom this neighborhood in which your
whole life has been spent. You
have played the part of good neigh
bors; the hospitality of your home
has been enjoyed 'and appreciated by
many and your readiness to lend a
helping hand has won for you a
large circle of friends. You have
been interested in the life of the
community and movements tending
to the welfare have had a claim on
your support and in your leaving,
we feel that we are losing citizens of
sterling character, whose places will
be hard to fill.
In the church life and work, you,
Mr.* Shier .have taken an active part
for many years, your Sunday School
work and in your official capacity
in the different church boards on
which you have served, you have
shown executive ability that has been
very helpful. We shall miss you
very much from your accustomed pew
in the church and we shall also miss
your wise council when the boards
with which yon have been’identified
meet for deliberation.
We would say the same of yon,
Mrs. and Miss Shier in your differ-
entv,relationships in church and com
munity you have been conscientious
in the discharge of duty, and you
have placed before you high ideals
of life and comfort. As .the time
comes to say good-bye we would ex
press the hope that you may be long
spared to enjoy the leisure that may
be yours in your new home, that you
may find congenial friends and in
terests and that a continued sphere
of usefulness may open up before
you.
We pray that the blessing of the
Lord which niaketh rich and add-
eth no sorrow thereto may be yours
in full measure, and that you, as a
family may bo long spared to each
other to the enrichment and enjov-
raent of your lives.
, We would also take this opportun
ity Of extending our heartiest con-
gratulations t,o Stewart and his
bride. We wish them success and
happiness and the blessing of God,
on their married life, as they occupy
tile home that you are vacating. We
tiusi that they shall prove to you
worthy successors in their relations
to the community.
5 ou are not going very far away
and. we assure you that a hearty wel
come will await whenever you can
conic back to visit your friend's and
neighbors here.
Signed on behalf of your friends
and neighbors and fellow-church
workers, Rev. T. A. Bell, T-I. White,
Samuel Shier and Geo. Hazlewood.
