SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY

ST. KILDA METHODISTS. (excerpt)

We regret having to record the death of one of our most promising young people, Miss Molly McCrone. She was always most assiduous in the welfare of Sunday school, ever ready to take a class or assist in any way possible, thus winning the hearts of the scholars and officers of the school. Our sister always had her lamp burning ready for the call.   -Evening Star, 18/11/1912.
