Main Street Anniversary.
The officials and congregation of the
Mair, street Methodist church have
reason to be proud of the , success of
their anniversary services on Sunday
last. The morning service was well
attended; the mass meeting of the
children and teachers of the Sunday
school and parents in the afternoon
was a large one; while in the evening
the church was filled to overflowing
many having been unable to gain en-
trance. The music by the choir, assist-
ed by Mr. E. Beech, bass soloist of
London, was of a special nature. Mr.
Beech bas a tine Kass voice and his
solos were very pleasing. The preach-
er for the occasion was Rev. Marina -
duke Pearson of Strathroy, a former
president of the Toronto conference.
His sermons both morning and even-
ing were of a practical and interesting
nature, showing the result of deep
study and wide knowledge of the needs
of human nature. The evening ser -

The speaker dealt particularly with Death of Adam Whiteford.
Mrs. Thomas Hawkins received the
sad intelligence on Sunday lest of the
death that day of her father. Mr.
Adam Whiteford, in Virden, Men., at
the age of 80 years, l► months. De-
ceased had been ill for about a year of
cancer in one lip, and that combined
with the infirmities of old age, was
the cause of death. Only during the
last three weeks had he been danger-
ously 111. Mr. Whiteford had been a
resident of the western town for e
little over three years, previous to
which be had lived for ahont fifty-
seven years north of Exeter on the 1st
concession of Hay. He was a native
of Scotland. Shortly after corning to
this country he married Miss Jessie
Logie, who predeceased him about 26
years. He was a Presbyterian in re-
ligion, a Liberal in poltics, and dur-
ing his long residence in this district
be became widely known and highly
respected. A family of one daugher,
Mrs. Thos. Hawkins, and three sons.
\Vitliam, John and Adam of Virden,
survive. The late Mrs. \Vm. Weekes
was also a daughter. James and Bella,
a son and daughter, are also deceased.
The remains will he brought here for

the points of resemblance between
Muses and Christ and t heir application
to the pi esent age. In the course of
the s.•ru)om he said: "1 cannot see how
people believe in the New and not the
Old Testatnent. %Ve must know Mos-
es to know Christ. Both came from
obscure positions in'life. Many who
have commenced in the midst of great
disadvantages have risen to places of
eminence. Two great despots were
afraid of the two boys, Moses and
Christ. Pbaroah's and Herod's policy
was Lo kill the boys, just as that is the
policy of the devil to day. Both boys
were saved by a marvellous interposi-
tion of Divine Providence. Moses was
saved by being placed among the bull -
rushes, Christ by Joseph fleeing with
him into Egypt. Moses received all the
education of the time while Christ re-
ceived but little. Both bad great in-
fluence. Both were tempted of the
devil, the purpose of the adversary be-
ing to defeat them at the beginning.
Satan offered Moses the throne of
Egypt, and he offered Christ the king-
doms of the world. When first con-
verted is when the devil tempts all
people the most. Moses choose rather
t,o suffer with the people of Israel. and
Christ choose to gain the world by
God's method. God gave Moses the
commandments on the mountain. The
law then came by Moses and Christ
came to fulfil the law. The old law
said "Thou shalt not kill, etc.," the
new said "Thou shalt help, encourage
and save, etc." The world does not
appreciate the intellectual character
of Christ, which was unique, as was
his moral character. He never, like
judges to -day, needed to reserve de-
cision. The deaths of Moses and
Christ were wonderful, called of God,
and in their deaths they gained all
things, and were satisfied with the
lives they had lived."
The contribution was very large,
amounting to 8375.

in wishing them the greatest measure
of happiness in their new home. Mise

Mr. and Mrs. Dietrich with beautiful
chairs. The recipients responded in a
suitable and feeling nianner, thanking
the friends for their kindness. The
evening was then spent in music and
bar►nlets games. while Mr. (len. Maw-
