the ladies of the congregation- on behalf of the choir miss con stancy deans presented a necklace to miss edith godfrey who made a fitt ing responsei y the address was as follows- dear mr godfrey we the members of the sabbath school the teachers and officers and the members and adherents of george- town united church here assembled desire ln a small way to express our appreciation of the services which you have rendered this congregation dur ing your sojourn in our vicinity for twentythree years you have been closely identified with the work of the churches and the work has truly been of such a ugh order that you have become in the opinion of those more instimately associated wii your labors ln georgetown a living part of the whole christian organisation your zeal for the masters work your ma tured opinions and counsel your faith fulness in attendance to your chris tian duties your liberality and your unfailing pleasant manner are but a few of qualities which are as your associates have come to regard as part of you and which unfortunately for us will render your separation from our midst more keenly felt as a member of session and of the official board of the church your example in the exercise of the duties devolving upon you has always been imbued with executive ability con sideration for the rights of others and due reverence for the position you held ln trust but more particularly your work as superintendent- of the s school calls for merited commenda tion here again those qualities al ready referred to have enabled you to develop and guide a christian or ganization which all readily conceive is a power for good not only in the congregation immediately concerned but also in the town and community at large hence it is fitting that a likeness of yourself is being hung upon the walls of the church school room a token of love and respect from the members of this sabbath school over which you presided for five years nor is it ln the church life alone that you will be missed as a work man earning your daily bread those same qualities of faithfulness effici ency executive ability and honest labor must render your removal to another sphere of labor a distinct loss george town loses too a god citizen in the person of mr j d godfrey nor can we allow the opportunity to pass without mentioning the one who in the home in the dally tasks and in the church work has stood by her husband and to mrs godfrey goes some credit for what has been accom plished through her cooperation with you in asking you lo accept this gift as token of love and respect from the members and adherents of the con gregation we give with it our sincere wishes 1 or your continued prosperity in your new field of labor and that you and your wife and family will be richly blessed signed on behalf of the congregation rev r w rumley pastor and chair man official board a oneill chairman board of stew ards a mcallister secretary session c b dayfoot sunday school rep

suffolk eng land back about the year 1600 the oldest bible in toronto and possibly in canada is in the famous j ross robertson collection which con tains a volume published as early as 1s39 the king bible was published in 1602 its leather covering is aged ano worn its pages abound with old- fashioned wood cuts and marginal arguments in size it is equal to several ordinary bibles it is a relic of the days when a bible served thp very material and itgal purposes of re cording births there was no ofneial registrarthen possession of such a book ln the early 1600s meant that the owner was of some weaioix so costly was the book that two householders james h howe and benjamin king formed a partnership to buy it evidently they came to some clear understanding about this partnership ror benjamin king took the front fly leaf for lils family record and howe used the frjrteaf to the new testament the instalmenit payments anust have got heavy for benjamin broke up the partnership eventually he retained the family record contained ln the first few pages and leaves from a much smaller bible were worked in by a bookbinder the cost of bibles must also have proven too much for the other partner howe for he rater lost possession of it if was picked up by the orginal benjamin king or his son years later in the record chest of a parish church since that time it has remained ln the family the strong religious bent has existed down through seven generations of the family states mr king his grand- lather and father each served their churcehs at stowmarket suffolk for periods of 15 years and received pres entations the bible has never left the hands of at least one of the families of the original owners he says testify ing to its authenticity the title pagt bears this statement imprinted at london by robert barker printer to the queenes most excellent majestic in 1603 the letter s appears throughout the bible like an f without the cross mark and some of the va are like d and vice
