Last week we made mention in The Times of a beautiful statute that is now on exhibition in the work -room of Weekes' Marble shop. The Trustees of S, S. No. 1, Usborne, were among the first in this section to inauguarate the Ideaof a statute to the brave sol- dier boys who had fallen in action. Over a year ago they took definate action and, decided',that the statute, should be a Canadian soldier standing at ease, and placed their order with Mr. Weekes. There was no model or pattern to work from and in consequence a photo of a typical Canadian youth, fully equipped was takenon the training grounds of London camp. This was forwarded to Italy and the result is a beautiful statute in marble, so true to life that the art critics of this community fail to find any flaw. The oldier stands at ease griping his gun in front with both hands. He carries his knap-sack, water bottle, bayonet, all so' true to life. His cap and uniform, puttees and shoes are carved so perfectly that the wrinkles, folds, seams, etc are true in every 'de- tail. One can fairly see the nap of the cloth so perfect is the workmanship. But while the equipment is all true the appealing part of it all is the calm, clean and placid face. So true is it that the finer feelings and emotions are stirred within the breast as one . gazes upon it. Not a few have striven to keep back the tears so deeply have their emotions been stirred while one lady threw her arms about its neck, ex- claiming "You dear Boy." The statute stands five feet, six inches, and will stand complete 12 ft., 6 inches. It will require a cement foundation of five or six feet. It was made in Italy at Car- rara of Carrara. marble. On one side of the base is the inscription: "In memory of the men of S. S. No. 1, Us - borne, who served for justice and free- dom in the great world • war 1914- 1919." It will contain the names of John C. Strang and Ernest Neil, both of whom have. given their lives for their country, also the names of all who have served in the war and at some time were members of the school. The statute will be erected on the School grounds. SUNDAY SERVICES WERE OF SPECIAL 'CHARACTER. Services iiekeeping with the holidays. were held in James street Methodist church last Sabbath. Owing to the continued illness••of the pastor, Rev. C. W. Baker, of .Crediton, occupied' the pulpit in the morning and Rev. W. A. Finlay, at night, both discourses being full of deep thought and greatly enjoy- ed by the congregations. The choir furnished special music for the "occas- ion three excellent anthems being rendered in the evening. In the after- noon a special_session was held by the Sabbath School. The pastor, Rev. J. W. Baird, gave a stereoptican review of the life of Christ and also a review of the past quarter's lessons. The pictures were most beautiful and im- pressive.

Their subscriptions for November exceeded by almost 200 per cent. the same month of any previous' year. December will also be a record 'breaker. The Family Herald Publish- ers • are perfecting plans for elaborate improvements. The public should not confuse that great weekly with a small daily paper of somewhat similar name, now in liquidation. There is no fear of such a thing. hapening with the Family Herald., The word "Family" should not be omitted in the address of that paper. We are informed that their - offer to `"a War Album free to all who subscribe • still remains good, but the demand is so great that it may have to be withdrawn soon. The Family Herald is big value and the Album is most attractive, so it is no wonder they are securing thousands of new subscribers.
