In the morning a reception service will be held when it is expected a number will be received into the membership of the church. A hearty welcome is extended to all who attend both services. The evangelistic services which have been held in the Methodist Church for the last five weeks were closed on Wed- nesday evening of this week. In many respects they have been types of the old fashioned revival services. Great interest was manifested and night after night the Sunday school room was filled. A great many conversions have been recorded and the interest in spiritual things has been greatly revived. The schoolroom of the Presbyterian church cn Monday evening was well filled to hear the illustrated leeturz on "Burns" which was given by Mr. Perrie on behalf of the Adult Bible Class. The programme opened, after a short prayer with the singing of "There was a Lad was Born in Kyle," with a fine picture of the Burns statue at Ayr on the screen, Mr. Perrie then gave a brief outline of the life of the poet, be- ginning with his -birth in the "auld clay biggin" at Alloway, through his vari- ous poetic periods, painting with sure but sympathetic touch the tempestous career of Scotland's beloved Bard Owing to the shortness of time in get- ting up the lecture. and the fact that there was no choice in the selection of the slides, Mr. Perrie had to work along narrower lines than would other- wise have been necessary, but he man- aged through his own firm grasp of such a wide and complex subject as "Burns" to make a most enjoyable lecture. As each slide was thrown on the screen he told briefly and interest- ingly the story connected with it, giving ample quotations from the poet's work the while. Burns' songs were also sung by members of the class which, intro- duced by the historical sketch by Mr. Perrie, added greatly to the enjoyment of the lecture. An oetette of ladies and gentlemen sang "There was a lad" and "Ye Banks and Br les o' Bonnie Doon"; Miss Mary Currie sang sweetly the beautiful song "Afton Water"; Mrs. Rae and Miss F. Wilson sang nicely the pathetic song written when Burns was nearing his end, "0, Wert Thu in the Cauld Blast"; Mr. Weir Elliott rendered the 'martial song of Scotland, "Scots Wha Hae" in good style; and Mr, Peter Wilson was of covree very much at home in his songs "Duncan Gray," "Green Grow , the Rashes, 0" and "A Man's a Man for a' that" and in his rendering of the im- mortal poem, "Tam o' Shanter." Miss Gracey assisted very materially with her fine accompaniments. The evening closed with the singing by the audience of "Auld Lang Syne."

Get some of the bargains. Mr. Andrew Doig, who passed away suddenly on February 18th, was born near Lachutte, Quebec in 1845, and moved with his parents to Tucker - smith township in 1853. In the spring of 1866 he removed to the township of Howick and settled on a farm on the boundary, near Molesworth, which he cleared and improved and afterwards purchased the adjoining farm, both of which he owned.at the time of his death. In the month of August 1868 he married Margaret Patrick, who has shared his joys and sorrows for upwards 45 years aid who ably seconded him in all his enterprises and undertakings. To this union 9 children were born, seven of whom still survive and are all grown up, viz.; Peter F. of Howick, John of Turnberry, Andrew and Rob- ert of Grey, Paul of London, Ross of Gorrie, and (Mary), Mrs. John G. Cogh- lin of Wallace. Besides his widow and family he leaves to mourn his loss, two brothers, John of Tuekersmith and W. M. of Sault Ste.
