ANNIVERSARY Seitvlcne.-The an- niversary services in connection with the Methodist church Sunday school were held on Sunday and was eondnct- e(1 by Rev. 11. McTavish of Granton. The weather was delightful, the roads good, and everything was as favorable as C(udd by desired. The church was tilled both morning and evening, there being present probably one of the largest numbers ever assembled since the re -opening, and the congregation was composed of people of all denom- inations. a goodly number coating from the country. And we are sure that none were disappointed as Rev. McTavish is not o11ly14 born orator, but his discourses morning and even- ing were impressive. scriptural and soul inspiring. Ile is certainly a most gifted divine and his visit to Centralia was touch appreciated. The choir ren- dered some choice and suitable music, the anthems being particularly pleas- ing. in the afternoon a mass meeting of the school was held, at which Rev. McTavish gavea heart tee heart talk to the children. On Monday the usual tea followei. The Indies of the church have long bad the reputation of get- ting up extra good steppers, but on this occasion they outrivalled themselves, the spread being among the best ever made in Centralia. For three hours a bevy of active waiters were kept busy attending to the immense num- her of guests present. This part of the entertainment was a success, as usual, and seemed to be appreciated by all. The social element was not forgotten, and was cultivated as well as the phys- ical, and all seemed to enjoy them- selves to the full. At the appointed hour the people passed from the base- ment to the auditorium, where the chair was taken by the pastor, Rev. Andrews. The program rendered, con- sisted of addresses from neighboring ministers, music by the choir, vocal and instrumental music, etc. The Ilensall quartette was present and add- ed much to the evening's program. The anniversary,tiiken its a whole, was a decided success in every pat ocular. BIRTHS SHEERK-Io St, Thomas, on Dec. 10, to Mr. and MIS, Aquilla Sheere, a daughter.
