Fresh in our minds their memory lives, But still our grief is sore; Each passing year still nearer brings The day we meet once more. Joys we have had for a little while, Would they were ours today; The sound of their voice and light of their smile, Given and taken away. And this we have learned by silent graves, * And the tears we had to weep; That the precious joys are not those we save, But the ones we cannot keep.

During the many weeks ^ense siuiering he was. never heard to muimer or complain, but bore with, great patience just what God naa sent, anil only awaited the com­ ing of his Master. Air. Birney was a man who loved the finer things in lite, a great home lover ana with a strong' per­ sonality and splendid mind which remained keen and active to the end. The strength of his will, the richness of Ills wisdom and the steady views of life, which he held, made it a blessing to be with him, so it was that his strong character maae linn and his home the centie of interest and affection for his fam­ ily and friends, His great hobby was his garden and he, being pas­ sionately fend of flowers, liis home and its surroixiiding- were a thing of beauty, every nook and corner, blossoms were in great profusion and many visitors in the summer spent hour^ with him and with his flowers. In’the home he will be much mis­ sed by his sorrowing and grief- stricken wife, as he was a- kind loving husband; and one of the of fathers to his two children, as a friend and neighbor there none better. Hence today monrn his demise with a keen row, and to his wife and loved ones we extend our heart-felt sympathy in their deep loss. The following poem can truly be applicable to Mt. Birney. A Friend would be a friend of all—the foe, the friendless; I would be giving, and forget the gift; would be humble, weakness; would look up, love and live.

Rain during the twelve days after Christmas was said to fore­ tell a wet year to follow. When deco­ rating the house with Christmas holly, be careful not to burn any leaves or berries that fall, but put them careful­ ly away until Twelfth Night, when they should be burnt with the rest of the decorations. Then luck and happi- ness will follow; but if so much as a holly leaf is burned beforehand, you are courting disaster, say the old-fash­ ioned country folk who set store on Ohirstnaas omens. Look to your fire on Christmas day, for if it burns bright­ ly it is a sign of prosperity; if, how­ ever, when the Are is first lighted it 'smoulders and refuses to “draw,” set­ backs may be looked for during the year to come. Wear something new on Christmas day If possible, “for luck,” and be very careful to put on no garment with a ‘hole or tear in it, otherwise you will lose money. Also, remember that the first words spoken in the day should be cheerful; to speak a word of grum­ bling is to court bad luck.—Montreal Herald. 'The tralia Woman’s Association was in the basement of the church -on Thursday afternoon with a good at­ tendance, The devotional service was in charge of Mrs. Dan Hodgson.

Boyes; iSec’y, Flossie Davey; Asst. ,Sec’y, Mrs. Murray Elliott; Treas., Mrs. Roy Fletcher; Pianists, Mrs. R. N. Stewart.
