After the usual greeting and felicitations the ladies presented the again youthful couple with an informal address, referring briefly to the happy occasion of the gathering, congratulating the erstwhile bride and groom on their successful at- tainment of a quarter century of joyous and fruitful married life, and expressing the prayerful wish that the union might remain un- broken for many years to some. ,The address was accompanied by Ia silver service, as a tangible ex-: pression of the goodwill of the; donors, and as a small token of; the esteem in which the beloved; pastor and his good! wife are held: by the working forces of the! church.
