I was in expectation that I would see this great honour go to one of the older citizens of this district, but to my surprise I was destined for the great honour, being Informed by your Reeve that he was bearer of news of great interest, being His Majesty's representative to present to me the official notice and medal. At first was dumbfounded and figured that 'the works had gone wrong somewhere, but finally I realized that it was only too true, as you have witnessed; s finally brought myself together to cept the truth, and may God bless King and Queen and his family. Whatever I have done to deserve this honour has left me thinking. I appreciated the kindly faces in the audience during my trying ordeal, and greatly commend those who sc ably participated in the programme for so laudable a cause.
