The affair was in the nature of a
sunprise to Mrs. Swords, and she was
still further surprised when Su'perin
tendent Frank H. Gleason. in a com
alimentary speech, extolling the faith-
fulness and valuable work of Mrs.
Swords for over a half century, pre-
sented her with. a handsome hand bag
and a «gold emblem 'for attendance
and thorough instruction to the mem-
bers‘ of the school. Mrs. Swords res-
ponded appropriately, and the pastor.
