In thinking of your life among- us we can join with the poet, Robert Southey in saying: “No dis­ tance of place, or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly prsuadeti to each other’s worth.” We trust that it will be'with many a kindly memory you will think of your old friends with whom you have joyed and sorrowed through the years. , t Will you kindly accept these gifts 'Mr. and Mrs. Essery from the com­ munity .and also Mrs. Esseery this little gift from the Ladies’ Aid as a token you.
