MITCHELL FELL INTO WELL Ralph, three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs, Edgar Rundle, who re cently moved from this community to .London Township, had a narrow escape from drowning one day last week when, he fell down a well. He was playing with his elder- brother and they removed the covering to the well and the little lad had fallen, in. The other became frightened and replaced the top. It was just at the noon hour and the father look ing for the children heard the child screaming. He slid down the pipe in the well and found the -child in about five feet of watex* clinging to the pipe with head and above wa ter. The well is about*'24 feet deep but the child had been uninjured in the fall. The dip in the cold water was an unpleasant experience but fortunately there were no ill effects I. O. O. F.

Headed by a newly-formed fellows’ band the members of I. 0. 0. F. together with a number of visiting brethren from Hemsall, Brucefield, Lucan and London, par aded to the Trivitt Memorial church Sunday evening where they listened to a splendid sermon by the rector, Rev. M. A, Hunt. There were about one hundred persons 'in the parade marshalled by Bro, W. W. Taman. The choir furnished special music. Mr. (Arthur Middlemiss sang a solo ■ ‘‘Open the Gates of the Temple” and Mr. Bryn Cousins sang “The Stran ger of Galilee.” The speaker took for his theme the love of Jonathan and David. He stated that love is one of the most powerful instruments of the world and the source of love is God. Jona than, the eldest son of Saul, was a man of great personal courage and also was a man of faith. With such qualities who could be more fit to succeed his father, the king. Yet he stood aside to make way for David. He was willing* to take a lower place than was his due. He stripped him self of his robe, his armour and his girdle and gave them to David, an outward token of the love he bore David. He stood before h'is father, the king, and pleaded for David bringing the wrath of -his father up on his own head. Jonathan was the friend of a man who was a friend of God. -He gave up his claim to a kingdom because of his love of an other whom be lov6d as hl's own soul. Paul draws a practical picture of what true friendship shall consist. True friendship suffereth long and is kind, envieth not, vaunteth not it self, is not puffed up; doth not be have itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, think- eth no evil, fend a friend in h'is absence as would in his presence. part with his personal goods. In this world with its sorrow and suffering, trials temptations there is nothing more truly precious, nothing more charming and sweet than a true friend who loveth at all times. There is such a friend, one that sticketh closer than a brother. I cannot wish a better wish for you than that you should secure to yourself such a true friend; a companion to whom you can unburden the perplexities of your heart. One to whom you can go and get understanding, who will help you onward and upward to eternal life. Such a friend is ever at hand if you will only .seek Him. The Lord Jesus Christ is your friend and mine. A friend who will never leave you nor forsake you, who so loved the world that He lay down His pure, spotless ‘life on our behalf. Would that He dwelt in- us and we in Him. On the return to the lodge room a vote of thanks was tendered to the rector, the wardens and the choir of the church for the splend'id ser vice, and also to the members of the band.
