good will which they hold for this fam

we're made commenting upon the serv-

rendered to the community and
humanity. After which an ~ice-course
was served.
When the Rev. and his partner of
thirty winters were sufficiently COM

they thanked their friends for the
joy they had brought them on this oc-
casion and assured them that it shall
be their desire to live another thirty
years since they now know that they
have such a c%oncourse of loyal and
loving friends.
