Our Misfortune
—was in being- ignorant of the
fact that the recent very smooth
and successful Children’s Day
Sunday School program at the
Methodist Church was due as j
much to the patient and careful
drilling of Mrs. Robert Gambillj
as to any one factor. We still in
sist it Was an exceptionally good
program, and now add our sin
cere and belated praise for one
who could be largely responsible
for such a program and yet be
so unobtrusive that we missed
her entirely.
