several affairs and at last were the
proud possessors Of something over

presentation a gala event, and give
the members Of the church a chance
to send the Rev Mr.. Blank away with
the good wishes Of the whole congre-

little music would add TO the happy
occasion. and she saw that some
musicians were engaged Another
memberof the committee thought that
a light lunch would be a happy idea,
