fact Father Wrenn was very proud,
as was mentioned in his farewell re-
marks.
A fine musical program was given on

the people of Observation-Disclosures

kindness to him, saying that he valued
more the spirit that prompted the gifts
than anything else.
This concluded the program, after
which refreshments-ice cream and

people. 1t will be an evening long
to be remembered by the citizens of
DuncOmbe and especially by their
former pastor. the Rev. Francis Wrenn.

an IDEA Monday afternoon that look
