Sunday School Teachers Farewell a Member

On Sunday last at the close of the Sunday school at St. Paul’s Church, the teachers and staff met to farewell Miss M. Cunninghame, who leaves shortly on an extended visit to the British Isles. Afternoon tea was

served by the lady teachers and over the teacups there were many expressions of goodwill and a general desire expressed that the departing teacher would enjoy her sojourn iu the Homeland.

Mr G. H. Stiles, who presided, said they were losing, for a time, a valued and popular teacher. Miss Cunninghame had given splendid service over many years to their church, and particularly to the school. They would miss her greatly. In recognition and appreciation of her services, he asked her to accept a book —something she might read on her trip o’er the sea, which would ' perhaps help her to remember the esteem in which she was held at St. Paul’s. Rev. A. N. Seotter and several teachers also voiced their felicitations. Miss Cunninghame, responding, said she was leaving for a short period only. It was gratifying to know that her work for the -Master was; appreciated. Of late she had learned more truly how to allow herself to bo used to help others, and great blessing had come to her in this way. Whilst away she hoped to be of similar use. Thanking the teachers for their - token of goodwill, Miss Cunninghame added that she hoped to return ready and willing to help on the school.
