The weather was ideal in every way and numerous visitors were home for the day. The wea­ ther on Easter Sunday morning was fine but chilly and large congrega­ tions were present at all the churches Rain came up in the afternoon ac­ companied by winds at night. Special Easter services were held in all the churches. On Monday evening, the regular meeting of the Willing Workers’ Mission Circle of James St. church, was held at the home of Miss May Jones, with eighteen members pres­ ent. The meeting was opened by singing, ’’Christ the Lord, is Risen,” and Mrs. Amy led in prayer. Mrs. Thos. Coates read a very interesting Easter message by T. B. Holland. A responsive Easter program was then carried out, after which Miss Greta Harness held the attention of all present while she read the third and fourth chapters from "Ann of Ava.” After closing the meeting by all repeating the Mizpah benedic­ tion, a lunch was served by the com­ mittee in charge, and a social time was spent.

The auction sale of Mr. Frank Davis just north of Saintsbury was held on Monday last and good prices were realized. Several farmers in tliis neighbor­ hood have started ploughing sod, but the recent cold spell -has halted operations for the present, It pays to keep the very best live stock. We understand that Mr. A. Hicks has disposed of his beautiful team of horSes to the City of London These horses were admired by all lovers, of good horses and were of excellent type. He realized a hand­ some figure for them. The fierce storm of Monday last did considerable damage in this dis­ trict. The hydro power line was disrupted at St. Johns and in conse­ quence, the village was in darkness for one night. It reminded us of olden times before we had the street lights. The old oil lamps were very much in demand for tlie evening and some of our citizens eat a cold sup­ per on a night when a hot one would be much more appreciated. How­ ever, all survived .and. at nine a.m. the next morning the damage had been repaired temporarily, but suf­ ficient to give us light and power. A play entitled, Step on it Stan” will be put on in the hall at Saints­ bury by talent of that place, on Thursday evening, April 11th. We understand this is a humorous and witty production and will no doubt draw a good attendance. A debate between the “Truth Seekers” and “Willing Workers” classes of the Sundair School will be given in the basement of the church on Thursday evening, April 4th at eight p.m. This promises to be an interesting event and every ‘ one should avail themselves of the op­ portunity to hear a question of such vital importance debated. Lunch will be served after the debate. The efforts of Mr. Cecil Skinner, super, were amply repaid on Sun­ day last.

The bridesmaid now Mrs. G. F. Crouk, of Windsor, was unable to be present at the 60th anniversary. She sent a lovely gift with her congratulations. The young couple immediately came west to Huron County and settled on a part­ ly cleared farm on the seventh con. of Hullett, Undergoing, measure, the difficulties tions of pioneer life and the tasks of the church munity, they made a worthy contri­ bution of service, For 62 years they lived and farmed in Hullett. There were born to them seven children, five boys and two girls— five still living. They retired from the farm in 1921 and moved to Exe­ ter where they have since resided. On this happy occasion, Mi’, and Mrs. Medd were at home to their neighbors and intimate friends of Exeter on Thursday and Friday pre­ ceding the anniversary. Many call­ ed and brought congratulations and good wishes, (On Sunday, the 31st, anniversary day, immediate relatives and close friends were present for dinner. Guests came from Hullett, McKillop, Clinton, Goderich, London, Detroit and -Pontiac. # Congratulatory messages and .gifts were received from many relations and friends, some of whom were un­ able to be present, flowers was rooms Easter ers. Rev. tor, conducted a short program and spoke in kindly reference to Mr. and Mrs. Medd. A special guest was Rev. D. Rogers of St. Thomas, an old time pastor and friend. He gave a short ad- dres and read a letter which he had written to them a short time prev­ iously. The closing paragraph ex­ presses the hopes and wishes of their many friends. The letter follows: Dear brother J. H. and Mrs. Medd: Living not very far from Cart­ wright it is very probable that sixty years ago this, month, I read in the Bowmanville Statesman that John H. Medd and Miss Elizabeth Bruce were united in the bonds of holy matrimony by Rev. Wm.' McDonagh. The writer was permitted and privi­ leged to be the Pastor of this devout couple and to be associated with them in Christian service .over forty years ago. They have now reached nearly, if not quite, four score and four years, a long time to live in this busy, bustling and out of breath age, but there are not wanting evidences that the hand of God-has led you during all these decades. And now—a Diamond 'Wedding. When we remember what it signi­ fies; how much time is included in it; it is a very notable event. Think of it: two streams of* existence run­ ning in the one and the same chan­ nel for over half a century. You have lived tojknow the blessedness of age and thank God, the enjoy­ ment Qf it is not marred by physical pain or mental incapacity. You are not invalids or in your dotage. The prophet’s image of a tree planted by the rivers of water, whose leaf never withers, has been verified. You are still young; if not in fact, in heart; in sympathy and in hope. Religion lias presided at your table, watched over your slumbers, directed your business and sanctified your habits. Like Abraham, you commanded your children after you, and I trust they are all with you in the- fellowship of the Church, of duty, faith and hope. v0 1et us magnify the Lord and exalt His name forever. I will close, hoping that the re­ maining days may be a pathway sloping gently and restfully toward the setting sun, and lit up with the promise of a more glorious sunrise amid the enchanting beauty of the delectable mountains.
