We are grieved to have to announce
the death of Mr. Jas, Park. Sen., which
took place from the family residence
on Sunday morning, 21st inst. At the
very hour when he was wont to repair
to the house of God to participate in di-
vine worship, the scene with him was
suddenly chauged to one of eternal
praise and adoration with the angles in
heaven. Mr. Park, whose death has
cast a feeling of such melancholy over
the community, was one of the pioneers
of the village, coming to reside here
about 25 years ago, and ever since his
coming his life 'heti been proverbial for.
Christian consistency and uprightness.
For years he had been an elder in the
Presbyterian Church, in which capacity
he will be much missed. A widow, two
sons and two daughters, are left to
mourn the loss of an affectionate hus-
band and loving father. The femoral
took place on Tuesday for the Granton

Zion Evangelical church was dedie
cited tb tete worship of God, on Sunday
14th inst., by Bishop Breyfogel, assist
ed by Rev. D. Rreh, P. E., and Rev. J.
A. Schmitt.
The members of this- congregation
have watched with pleasure the pro-
gress of their new church home, and
have patiently and eagerly looked for-
ward to the completion of this beautiful
cdifee. Only a small number of the
congregation have beeu called by the
grim reaper since the commeueement
of this structure, a hose - absence was
noted and rofered to with deep sorrow.
This handsome Church, in magnif
.icence and splendor of its architectural
plans, greatly impressed hundreds
who visited it, for its beauty, and har-
mony and the general balancing of the
several parts of the design. Due at-
tention has been given to proportion
and harmony which gives the building
the appearance of stability and repose.
Friday Feb. 12, 7.30 p. in., the Rev. D
Kroh, Presiding Elder, (in the absence
of Rev. 11, Deirlam) preached the open-
ing service from the II Peter, 1. chap.,.
19 verse: "We have also a more sure
word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well
that ye take heed as unto a light that
shineth in a dark place until the day
dawn and the day star arise in your
hearts,"'
Saturday, 2 p, tn., Rev. C. F. Braun,
of Alleghany, Penn„ preached a impres
sive sermon. The Rev, gentleman be-
ing oue of the early pioneers of this
place and residing here when called
to preach the Gospel, was listened to
with great pleasure. -
Saturday evg the Rev. J G. Litt, of
Campden, the former pastor of this
congregation, preached an interesting
sermouy from Isaiah LX, latter part of
the 7 verse. "I will glorify the house
of my glory." Rev. Litt met a large
number of his former friends, acquaint
ances and beloved worshippers, who
were pleased to see him present at the
dedicati,'ln ceremony.
Sunday 10 a. m., Bishop Breyforgel,
of Reading, Penn , preached a power-
ful sermon in German, taking as his
text St, John XLX and the latter part
of the 14th verse. " Behold your king"
It will hardly be necessary to say that
it was a sermon full of eloquence and
yigor, for all who knew this wonder-
ful man, are aware that he could hard-
ly preach otherwise if he so desired,
The congregation was moved to tears
which eventually broke into sobs. At
2 p. m. the Bishop again preached a
sermon in English, Taking as his text,
Psalm XLVIII, 1. " Great is the Lord
and greatly to be praised in the city of
our God, in the mountain of His holt
ness." At this service the members of
the congregation made room for visit
ing friends and although every aisle
and available standing room was oc
cupied, a large number were unable to
gain admission. The English friends
spoke highly of the afternoon sermon
and considered the Bishop a clever and
powerful preacher His sermon was
very affecting. 7 p, m. the. Bishop
again preached from Philippians III
chap., 10 verse. After this service the
Bishop proceeded with the formal dedi-
cation by reading the dedication cere-
mony prescribed by the church discip-
line, closing with prayer. After the
morning service the Bishop announced
that the total estimated cost . of the.
church building and equipment was
$15,149.60. Of this sum the Pastor and
building committee had on hand and
in view all but $4,770 60 or $3,770.60
building and furnishings and $1,000
for organ, He slightly hinted the usu-
al practice among the Evangelical as-
sociation, viz: That no church shall
be dedicated unless its construction is
provided or paid for. It appears to be
a good practice. - Why should such a
beautiful structure - be presented to
God with a debt on it? Why should
not a place of worship be handed over
free from all incumbrances? The re-
sult of the cash collections and subscrip
tions were as follows: Morning, $2,-
417.00; ' afternoon, $676.60; evening,
$681,00, making a total of $3,780.60 or
in other words enough to wipe out the
debt of the church and leaving 'a bat
ance for beautifying the surroundings
of the building. A remarkable feature
of the cash collections was that with
over $1,000 collected, not 50c in coppers
was received and that old and young
were united as one person, considering
it their duty to see the church paid for.
With this ambition and a generous
spirit who would not succeed? Actions
speak louder than words, andthe mem-
bers deserve great praise for their be.
novelence. On looking over the sub-
scription -list a large number of Exeter,
Dashwood, Zurieh and English friends
in this vicinity are among the donators,
and their kindness will
long be
r
einem•
bered,
The Bishop characterized the
new 'edifice as a monument which
would be lasting to its promoters as a
gift to God.

Business is quiet just now in our
usually stirring village.—Dr. Buchan-
an gage a very interesting talk in
Carmel church on Sunday evening on
the work among the Bheels of Central
India, The Dr. has been laboring for
several years at Ujjain, Central India
and is now touring through Ontario in
the interest of this mission. The Bheels
number about 800,000, are very poor
and very timid, generally retiring
quickly to the jungles on the approach
of foreigners. They have been great-
ly oppressed by the Hindoos. They
are far more accessible to the Gospel
than, the Hindoos, inasmuch as they
are outside of the ,YIindoo Caste and
which is such a barrier to the accept-
ance of truth. He spoke at some
length -of the medical work done at the
dispensary for these people. He des-
cribed a common disease known as
Guinea worm. The germs of this
disease generally attach themselves to
arms or legs while bathing and more
especially where there is some abrasion.
of the skin and when they continually
grow and develope into a worm -like
animal insinuating themselves among
the tissues and muscles.'. At a certain
stage this worm can be drawn out
gradually thus relieveing the sufferer
but if not attended to'or if a part be
broken off and the remainder left,
gangrene will ensue, . and the limb
must be sacrificed. He also described
thelwretched condition of the Lepers,
many of whom come tb the dispensary
where their sores are annointed and
their absesses lanced. He said that no
amount of logic or argument will con-
vinee the Bramins or Hindoos, of the
truth of the 'gospel, but, the" practical
Christ -like self, sacrificing every day
life will.—Mrs. G, E. Case, of the Lon-
don Road gave the young people a
party on Tuesday, Those present re-
port having had a good time.—The
Council have purchased a hand fire
engine and will test it oue of these

Monday evening Bishop Breyfogel
gave an interesting lecture on" Glimp-
ses of Europe with Atneriean eyes.'
.He is au instructor and one who de
livers his beautiful lecture for the in•
structiou of his audience.. He referred
to the sea voyage, life in England,
France, Germany and Switeerlaud,,
'with amusing incidents, but never for
gets hie position as ar minister of Christ •
to show the evils of tate world. and up-
on the other hand praising the good
work of the cbrietia 15 in Europe.
The new pipe organ placed in the
church was manufactured by R S.
Williams Sons & Co., Ltd., of Toronto,
and acquitted itself as though , it had
come CO slay and under the hands of
Mr. Burton and Miss Brown, won a
permanent place in the affections of
the con g rogation and a large number
of others who had the pleasure of bear-
ing it. It possesses as many balances
of tone as possible (arid should be avail-
able between the different manuals
and pedals) to make it a first class in-
strument, and wheu in the hands of an
experieuced player, it is marvellous to
hear it send forth, its beautiful com-
bination of tones.
Tnesdap evening, was BO, apart ..for
the organ recital and to make arrange-
ments to pay the cost of the instru-
ment, Mr. and Mrs. McDonald, of Lon-
don. had the carrying out of this part
of the program and it will not be nec-
essary to say that they filled that posi-
tion with great credit to themselves.
The handsome sum of over $1,000 was
subscribed and of this sum over $500
in cash was received, which removed
the total cost of church and organ.
This is as it ought to be.
The beautifully toned bell presented
to the church by the late Mrs, Charles
Eilber, performed its duties in such a
manner as to make the dedication ser-
vice more solemn and impressive. This
good lady has received her reward for
her earthly labors by being called
home to mansions in the skies, and
every time it rang, kind expressions of.
the late christian lady were heard.
"In this thy house, whose doors we now
For social worship first unfold,
To thee the suppliant throng shall bow.
While circling years o:. years are rolled.
To thee shall age, with snowy hair.
