The address was read by Mr. E. Walker, and the presentation made by Messrs. J. Beecroft and Robert McBurney.The evening was pleasantly spent in a social way and at the close a bounti- fulluncheon was served by the ladies. We wish Mr. McBurney bon voyage and hope he may not decide to remain in Uncle Sam's domain. The following is the address:— Dear Mr, McBurney :— We, the members of the congrega- tion of Brick Church, together with other friends have assembled here this evening to spend a social hour and to say "Farewell." For many years you have gone in and out amongst us as friend and neighbor and have won the respect and confidence of all. We are quite unable by means of words to express our esteem and our sympathy for you in your recent trouble and in order to express them in a more practical way we ask you to accept this Bible, watch chain and locket, hoping that as you read the one, its precious teaching may cheer and comfort your declining days, and as you wear the other it may serve to remind you of your friends in East Wawanosh all of whom hope you may return soon, greatly benefitted by your trip. Our parting prayer for you is "God be with 'you till we meet again." Signed on behalf of the congregation of Brick Church and other friends. Mr. McBurney was deeply affected, and eincerely appreciated the kind- ness and encouraging words of his friends. He has had many discourage- ments, but it is hoped that the trip will be of benefit to him. All his neighbors wish him a pleasant time and safe return, Roll Butter And Fresh Eggs Wanted Lard for sale in pails and one pound prints. Armour & Co. WINGHAM SEEDS!
