A Farewell

The members of Trinity Church Girls’ Friendly Society held a farewell last evening at the church for the members of the church who will leave on Friday for Toronto with the active service contingent of the Dufferin Rifles.  Each of the six members of the church who are leaving was presented with a testament, having previously received a Bible from the Men’s Bible Class.  After the presentations, the remainder of the evening was spent in music, games and special entertainment, closing with the serving of dainty refreshments.  The men are Ptes. Geo. Brooks, B. Smith, F.W. Stow, R. Ratcliffe, J. Benson and T. Cooper.
