=~A Personal Appreciation

For years he resided in Bridge, near
vCanterbury. A small man with a big
fheart, an Irishman’s sense of humour
‘land a characteristic laugh. A doctor,
no, more than a doctor, a friend in
need. How many, for miles around,
vill mourn for him in silence. In the
arge mansion and in the small cot-
tage, aye, even the tramp on the road
—will, if he pass through Bridge again.
