TO OUR PRESIDENT.
(Read at the Memorial Service, Dunedin L 111011.) Saeet Reasonableness, the name 1 eve, gave her, Our well loved President of many years; With grace and tact she had u.c balance even, High were her aims, and ever puic her motives, With singleness ol eye in all ner purposes— Such was our President. Wisely she ruled, the Oueen ot out Convention ; So geptly wise, and yet so firm was she, ihe little frictions melted as the snow Under the sun of Christ like gentleness — Such was our President. To call her Kricnd, so staunch, so true; It little mattered what the world would say, She stood to line where enemies were strong, And back to back she stood until the last — Our President. ’Twas thus we ever knew and loved her; And having known her, we thank God For >uch a noble woman— Our President. —L. Hislop.
