Editor News
We are now comfortably settled in
our new home and take this method
Of thanking our dear friends for the
lovely gift of remembrance presented
to Us while in our old home. We had
expected to meet them on Wednesday
evening before we left home and
thank them personally, but circu m
stances prevented. 1t came to US as a
complete surprise, and we shall al
ways consider it one of our most val
ued gifts, not on account of its in
trinsic worth, but for the kindly
thought which it expressed, and to
each of the dear friends we extend our
heartfelt thanks for their loving gift.
Each Sunday morning at the hour
for Sunday school and preaching ser
vice, our hearts turn to the dear old
Columbia Church, and in fancy we
can see the familiar faces of those
with whom we have been so long and
so pleasantly associated, both in the
Church and social life, but we have
come to know that nothing happens
to US that does not make for better
things and this separation will only
strengthen the tie that binds US to
our dear Columbia friends, whom We
hope to see in the not distant future.
We ars,very pleasantly situated here
but no place can ever be as dear co Us
as the home in which we have spent
almost our entire past lives,
With best wishes for all Of oul
friends, and prosperity for the News
Yours etc,
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. N. Page.
