FAREWELL GATHERING On Sunday evening there was a very large attendance of members ot the St. Stephen’s Church congregation in the Church Hall to bid farewell to Mr and Mrs P. Tennent, who have been very active members for so many years. Mesdames P. V. Graves and J. Stewart entertained with delightful vocal items, both solos and duets, which were very much appreciated by the assembly. The Rev. Stanley, on behalf of the Anglican vestry, presented Mr Tennent with a travelling suitcase, speaking in very glowing terms of his work in the church. He had been a vicar’s warden for a number of years. Mr Tennent suitably replied. Mrs Stanley then presented Mrs Tennent with a fountain pen on behalf of the Anglican Ladies’ Social Club. Mrs Tennent had been a prime mover in the club and had been their first president. Such an energetic worker would be a great loss to th® church. Mrs Stanley wished her a very happy trip and safe return to New Zealand.
