However it is not only to the choir that you have endeared your- self, but to every department of the church. You were ever willing to respond to any request for service that came to you from any and ev- ery organization of the congrega- tion, Nor was it a mere response tp serve. The service you rendered was always of such a high order, whether as a piano or organ solo- ist, as leader of the community singing, playing of games or in your social contact, you have left a vacancy that will be indeed diffi- cult to fill Nor can we omit referring to your high sense of the spiritual estimate of church life. Your teaching in the Sunday School, your active work among the young people, your interest in the prayer service, your active co-operation with the mini- ster, your constant and determined aim of making the music contri- bute to the very spirit of true wor- ship, and your manifest interest in the general uplift of the congrega- tion and community, all of this in- gratiated you into the hearts and affections of this entire congrega- tion, And now as a slight token of our appreciation we ask you to accept this travelling bag, with the hope that it may prove of real service to you in your new field of activity, and that each time you carry it, it may remind you of your host of friends in the old King Street Church and choir.

Before the season began, it was estimated that the crop would be between 32,000 and 33,000 tons, but now the maximum estimate has heen Who Said Depression?
