Af I rcHELL—AMY. T.hie home of Mrs. Elizabeth Amy. Jamas street, was the scene of a pretty wedding on Thursday, Sept. 18th, at high noon, when her daughter, Mss Louise, became the bride of Mr. Her- man elitchell, son of Mr. James Mit- chell, of near Centralia. The cere- mony was performed by Rev. W. E. Donne LIy„pastor of James street Meth- odist Church, in the presence of only a few of 'the immediate relatives.. Both brute and groom were unattended.

They will start married life with the best wishes of a host of .friends. THANKSGIVING SERVICES. Harvest Thanksgiving Services were held last Sunday morning. and even'm•g in the Trivitt Memorial Church. The music rendered by the choir was of( a very high order, and very high com- rFiendations were heard ora all sides, and the church was most tastefully decorated wi th grain, and flowers and the usual harvest tokens. The special preacher in the morning was the Rev, Charles Wood of Winnipeg, who took as his textPsalm 145, 1 (Prayer Book version). In. the evening the Right Reverend Wilfrid Thomas, D.D., Bish- op of Brandon, occupied the pulpit. Taking as his text, St, Luke 17, 18, "Give glory to God,” Bishop Thanias expressed his pleasure in once again preaching in an Ontario, pulpit, after an absence of twenty-five years. He said that while taking part in: the im- pressive services of the day, he made a mental comparison bettween them and others in which he had taken, part. He recalled one in, an. Indian village Northern Manitoba last year, where the natives had heard that their whiter brethren always decorated their churches for a Harvest Festival, but they had no grain and no flowers, so these children of the forests decorat- ed their churches wditth quantities of fish and game—principally wild ducks- and by their hear ty and reverent par- t icipation in the service showed that they tool gave. glory to God. The of- fering on this occasion was taken up not on a plate, but en a tray, and con- sisted of imusk-rat skins, mink and ot- ter skins. also shawls knitted by wo- men. e Another service recalled by the Bish- op was held in a log shack among whin to settlers, the only musical ac•- compankm.ent being a mouth organ, but as in the. other case, "Glory was given to God." The Bishop urged the cog- regation to;girve glory to God by whole hearted devotion. to His work on earth until called to the eternal glory above. 1642 REPAI We are ,now prepared to do'all kinds of repair work on broken frames', wheras before we had to send them to London or -eslewhere. 1 Heavy Shell Frames to Your Own Lenses While You Wait $3.00 Broken Shell Rims Replaced While You Wait Spectacles, Large Lenses -$1.00 up.

FITTON REGI9ThRED OPTOMETRIST Miss Ruth Lamport, who has been secretary of one of the classes in Hain Street Methodist church, and who has resigned owing to taking, a course at the Normal School, London, was very kindly remembered by her associates on Friday right last at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Wickwire, by pre- senting her with a handkerchief shower and entertaining her socially during the evening. Lunch was served and the evening was most enjoyably spent. Newspaper mens, as a rule, have but two things to sell, space and sub- scription; and it would be just as consistent to ask your grocer for a dozen oranges "just to fill up," as to ask an editor for, a doze lines in his paper to boost business, or some pro- ject whereby the promoters will real- ize a revenue: or get a benefit of any kind with the idea that you are doling business in, helping; to "fill up" space.
