A short slleiice to her memory was observed by, all present. ,,


Mr. .Bland; opened : his

Tlie scljool year had been a bad marks. '


, Tlie st'aff oflthe school, said Mr. Bland, had given to the girls who passed through,,their hands something which could not be bought for money. That was theiii wonderful devotion

In her address. Miss Edward-


Rees said that life was con-, tlnually jgiving everyone the opportunity- of choosing, and school days. were the tinies when tHe experience of choos­ ing good, wise and beauUful things and rejecting the bad, foolish arid ugly, was stored up and became part of a reservoir which wbuld be drawn upon,in

We are always be­ ing confronted with loyalties and allegiances of one kind or another: There are many kinds of loyalties such a s ^ r homes, villages and towns, country, churches, and even our everyday jobs, but all these little loyalties are 'continually ministering to the greater.


Miss Edward-Rees said she ‘Dhless’ a loyalty be’ the


, that thfey . cannot jp a r e time for anytHlfig else; Each loyalty


I is necessary to the other,


last and greatest of all, the loyalty [of God, •: no., parthly loyalty in Itself is sufficient, It does not do for anyone tp.be so devoted |to one particular .thing
