Mrs Allen suitably acknowledged the kindly remarks of various speakers. At the .conclusion of the Methodist Church service on Saturday last at Rongokokako, the Rev R. P. Keall referred to the loss the Church was sustaining in the retirement of Miss Nancy Smith as organist. But as Miss Smith was to be married shortly it was really a cause for rejoicing. They would sadly miss her, he said, but wished her all health and joy and happiness in her new estate. Mr Keall presented Miss Smith, on behalf of the Rongokokako congregation, with a beautifully bound copy of the Church hymnary containing words and music.
