thought very close to the mind of each0
individual. She pictured the three
crosses at the crucifixion with Jesus
in the centre and the two malefactors
on either side, one having rejected
Him and the other accepted Him, She
impressed upon the meeting that
everyone today, represented one of
those thieves, either rejecting or ac
cepting Christ. Regret was expressed
that Lieut. Oates would soon be leav
ing town and would be greatly missed
by the different church organizations
who have many times enjoyed her
fellowship.
The solo, “From Day to Day’’, was
sung by Mrs. J. W. Callan with Mrs.
W. W. Currie at the piano was much
enjoyed. The president, Mrs. Roulston,
conducted the business, and at the
close of the meeting lunch was served
and a social hour spent.

Dear Sir:
In the London Free Press of April
Sth, I noticed an excerpt taken from
** your paper on the cutting of trees
in Wingham.
: I well remember as a small boy of
‘ my mother carrying maples from the
> bush to plant between the house and
‘ road. Then in later years of her
planting spruce and cedar as a
wind break.
It was hard work, but worthwhile.
Along the front of the farm there
are old elms towering toward the
sky. They were left there by thought
ful pioneers, who cleared this land
nearly 100 years ago. \
When I attended school at S.S. No.
3, Culross, I pulled a tiny elm from
the rdadside and planted it between
our house and bam.
It Is a huge tree to-day, and when
ever I return to my birthplace on the
2nd concession of Culross, I am
1 grateful that my elm still stands, and
that the maples, spruces and old elms
planted or left from virgin forest are
still there.
Those who are thinking of cutting
down trees should take heed from the
valuable advice that you have given.
Yours sincerely,
Edwin J. King
