Mrs. Russell had been ailing for some time and was waiting for the call to the Homeland, Her husband prede­ ceased her 11 years ago. There are four boys and two girls who survive her namely: James, of Ribstone, Al­ berta; David, of Toronto; William of Peace River; Gavin, of 'Creelman, Sask.; Mrs. Mm. ficeli, of Lucan and Mrs. Robt. Tinney, Sexsmith. She left 23 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. The deceased came from Glasgow, Scotland at the early age of 7 years, residing in Hamilton with her parents, until she was 16 when she was wedded to David Rus­ tsell, son of the late James Russell, of Usborne. The funeral was held, on Monday last at 2 p.m, from her late residence on Elizabeth street in Exeter. The pallbearers consisted of her grandchildren. Mrs. Russell was kindly and considerate in her life time and had known her Saviour many years and will be greatly miss­ ed by those among whom she lived. UNIQUE SERVICE Birds, babies anct flowers special features of the service Main St. United Church on Sunday. Beautiful peonies and other flowers adorned the pulpit rostrum while several birds in hanging cages were distributed throughout the auditor­ ium and added to the service with their musical notes. A children’s choir occupied the gallery and sang two selections at each service. The choir also provided an anthem both morning and evening. At the morn­ ing service two children were bap­ tized, Dennis Wayne, son o>f Mr. and •Mrs. Oscar Tuckey and Ruthie Marie ’daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wildfong. An illuminated cross was beautifully decorated with flow­ ers, the flowers being placed upon tire cross during the singing of the hymns by Misses Patsy Martin and Jeannette Taman. The church pre­ sented a most attractive appearance and splendid congregations were present for both services. The pas­ tors’ sermons were in keeping with the occasion. Mr. Elliott’s morning subject was "Consider the Lilies” and drew many impressive lessons from the beautiful flowers that surround­ ed him. One of the bocks that the Master studied was the book of na­ ture. He lived near to nature and frequently referred to it in his talks to the people. On the.........’ day he told them to lilies. There are so in life today that are trying that it is refreshing to turn our thoughts to the words of fhe Master “Consider the Lilies.” We might consider them for the sheer delight of it, for their entrancing loveliness, because they are whole­ some and in such contrast with the unwholesome things of life. Laf Ca- die O’Hern speaks of the Japanese gazing in crowds at t'he flower booths of Japan so taken with their charm and lovelineess. Among the unwhole­ some things which seem to occupy a large space in our lives are exempli­ fied by the unlimited space given in many of our newspapers to crime and the sordid things of life, also to modern fiction that does not make its appeal to the higher things of life and to the moving pictures 'which might be an agency for education and wihile there are-many admirable pic­ tures, still there are many that are unwholesome. It is a good thing to come back to the contemplation of the flowers, so clean and wholesome. They typify the beauty of life, tell­ ing us of God, “The hand that made us is Divine.” In the flowers we see God’s care and love. The McColl-Frontenac service station which is being built on the property south on Main St. recent]? purchased from Mrs. E. Willis is being pushed ahead rapidly and it is expected that it will be completed in the course of a couple of weeks.” ar- last car- put- Mr. Frank Esseiry r f Lome, of Chicago, called on Wm.
