Farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Denny Murray

The proceedings began with games and singing which were continued until supper was served then Rev. M.C. Ramsay speaking of the purpose of the gathering, said that Mr Murray had served in the Great War and at the beginning of the present war had offered his services again and served for a considerable period until, on account of ill-health, he was discharged.
Mrs Murray had nobly supported her husband in these sacrifices. Their guests were about to return their old home near Tinonee, where they, would be associated once again with the congregation there.
Representatives of the congregation and Sabbath school then spoke extending best wishes to Mr and Mrs Murray and family.
The minister on behalf- of the congregation, handed to Mr and Mrs Murray a Bible suitably inscribed and to May, Ted and Nancye suitable gifts.

The presence of’ a number of Sydney friends contributed to the success of the gathering, which was a particularly happy one.
