The sixty-some-odd who were pres

Thank-Offering of the Gorrie W. M.
■S. can only feel sorry for all those
who missed hearing Miss Mitchell.
Her stirring vital message of practi
cal Christianity will long live in the
. hearts of those present. She prefaced
her remarks with a charming story for
the children, a true story of Dr. Gren
fell of Labrador. Psalm 103 was a
suitable Thanksgiving text. In this
very life-blood mark of the Christian
'Church she quoted John R. Mott:
’’Welcome difficulties. Birst ponder,
then dare.” One of the first fruits of
■Christian missions whose motto is,
■"Give Christ - Live Christ” will be
lasting peace atid prosperity.

Her home mission text was “Lift

of the bravery and love of our mis

worth-while work being done. The
age of miracles is not dead when
people of such calibre as those told

Mrs. Hamilton presided over the
meeting, which she opened with a

conducted the devotions, after which
Miss Alexandria Hamilton sang that

OBITUARY
a
Andrew Miller
On October 31st last, death called
very respected gentleman, Andrew
Miller in his 81st year. Mr. Miller
was born in Perth County near Mit
chell and moved with his parents to
Howick in 1865 to the B. line. A re
markable feature was that he logged,
ditched, stoned, fenced and also put
a good set of building on this farm
and also lived alone there all his life
prior to five years before his death.
The funeral was hdld on Monday,
Nov. 2nd, 1936, from E. H. Under
wood’s residence, Gorrie. The pastor,
Rev. A. FI. O’Neil, conducted the ser
vice, speaking from different passages.
"Look for the resurrection of the
dead.” His explanations were in Ear
ly Hebrew. The idea was that death
involved even separation for God, as
Psalm vi, 5 ch. “In death there is
no remembrance of thee” but grad
ually the future life was clearly re
vealed and realized. In Psalm 16 and
17 the Psalmists felt that their fel
lowship with God was too strong for
even death to break. In the Prophets
we find the doctrine of Resurrection,
national or individual in Isaiah 26:1s
also Daniel 12: 2-3.
In our Lords’ time we find Resur
rection an accepted doctrine, Christ
foretold the general Resurrection in
St. John v. 28-29, all that are in the
graves shall hear this voice and shall
come forth: they that have done good
unto the Flesurt'ectioh of Life and they
that Have done evil unto the Resur
rection of Judgmenta full statement
marked 2. The major attack,
shown, is coming from the southwest
with other forces on all other sides
but a sector in the east, leading to
the coast. Cut this map out to fol

doctrine occurs in St.
in Acts 24:15, the

the just and unjust.” Any idea that
the unjust are not raised only occurs
in early Hebrew thought but even by
Daniel’s time they had changed. Dan
iel 21:2-3 "and many of them that
sleep in the dust of the earth shall
awake, some to everlasting life and
some to shame and everlasting con
tempt.” Christ’s Resurrection is a
guarantee of ours. Christ' is the first
fruits and even as He was raised up
by the power of God with a glorified
spiritual body, so too, shall wc, on
the final Easter Morn, be raised up
by the power of God. One of the
greatest evidences of the existence of
the spirit of God in a man’s heart is
the life that he lives. If he shows
forth tenderness, mercy, kindness and
sympathy to his fellowmen certainly
the spirit of God abides in him be
cause those are the fruits of the Spirit.
One of Mr. Miller’s last statements
was that no flowers were to be bought
but he said that those desiring to do
so might show their sympathy to the
poor in their own neighborhood.
The pallbearers were: L. Ashton,
A. Sippel, W. Galloway, G. Under
wood, K. Galloway, FI. Ballantyne.
Interment was made in. Wroxeter
