Our min- ister Rev. A. Rice unveiled the appreciative gift and also read a letter she, Mrs. Reynolds com- posed which is the following: Feb. 6th, 1965 Rev. Rice: Ladies, gentlemen and child- ren. It gives me much pleasure to present these Bibles to you in memory of Mr. Silas Reyn- olds. He loved the Bible. 1 don't know how many times he read it through and said it is best book ever written. He came to Prince Albert 95 years ago at 2 yrs. of age with his parents from Cornwall, England. They settled hee in the village in a little green house just two doors north of this Church. = He attended Sunday School here until his parents purchased a farm in Seagrave where our son Ralph is now living. His Sunday School teacher was Mrs. C. J. Pearce. He spoke of her frequently and his memory of her was a fine christian lady. I pray those Bibles will be a joy to own, with God's richest blessings. - Mabel Reynolds A few of the church officials distributed the Bibles among the pews for future use. All sincerely appreciate Mrs. Reyn- olds gesture of which all are deeply proud. i It was pleasant to have Mrs. Reynolds at the service accom- panied by her family.
