Death Of Miss Kate Oundy.
After We had gone to press last
week, word reached us of tbe death of
Miss Kate Gundy, daughter of Rev.
Dr. and Mrs. Gundy of St. Thomas
(formerly of Wingham.) Miss Gundy
had not enjoyed good health for some
Uwe, and had planned to go with her
parents to visit her brother in Van-
couver, as Dr. Gulley was going to the
General Conference at Victoria. Her
health, however, would not permit
her to take the trip, and she remained
at the borne of her brother in Toronto,
where she died, on August 31st. Miss
Gundy was a young lady of fine chriss
tian character, kindly and amiable in
her disposition. As she was the only
one of the family remaining at home,
the severance of this earthly tie will
be all the more keenly felt by her be
-
reamed parents, The many friends of
the family in Wingham, shacerely
sympathize with them in their sad
bereavement. An impressive funeral
service was held in Grace Chnrch,
St, Thomas, and the eemains were
then taken to Exeter for inter-
ment. An unusual large number
of floral offerings were placed on the
casket, athong these being a sickle
from the Garden Reapers of Grace
Chureh ; pillow from the Ladies' Aid;
Maltese cross from the Senior Ftp -
worth League, and sprays from the
Junior League, the Eureka Club, the
quarterly board, Miss Gundy's Bible
class and the Sunday School. A spe-
cial Carriage was required to convey
the floral tributes be the station, Mies

funeral.

Avery pretty wedding was solem-

residence of Mr, and Mrs. W. le Van -
Stone, when their eldest daughter,
Florence Olive, was united in marri-
age to Mr. Roy H. Forster of Charles-

room leaning on the arm of her father,
to the strains of Alendelssohnes wed. -
ding narch, played by Mr, Arnold
Miller of Toronto. The bride looked
charming in a gown of ivory merge -
line satitt en treinand tulle veil,
and tarrying a white prayer book
-with shower of lilies -of -the -valley.
Miss Norma, sister of the bride, acted
as maid of honor, gowned in white

Another Flowing Well.
There was a genuine smile on Cora-
missioner Morton's face on Friday, as
he announced that in drilling the
second test well, another gusher had
been struck at a depth of 48 feet,
The two wells will give poesibly 250,-
000 gallons in twenty-four hours.
This might be ample for present do,
/nestle purposes, but the flow would
take several hours pumping to fill the
Standpipe, which has a capacity of
129,000 gallons. The Commissioners
have not yetesdecided whether it
would be best to drill another well, or
build a reservoir near the wells, from
which the water could be pumped,
We understand that the idea of build-
ing a reservoir under the building has
been abandoned, as the space avail-
able evould not be large enough.
Alarm Of Fire.
The ringing of the lire alarm on
Saturday evening hastily summoned
the firemen to duty. Fire was dis-
covered in the house occupied by Mrs,
Small on the corner of Shaer and
Victoria streets. It appears that the
fire broke out in a bedroom, and the
curtains and bedclothes were all on
fire. Mrs. Small made an effort to
quench the flames, pond in doing so,
her own clothing caught fire, and she
was badly burned about the shoulders,
and on the hands. At the first alarm,
neighbors rushed ta her assistance
witle pails of water, and the blaze was
extinguished without the brigade hav-
ing to use the hose. How the eurtains
caught fire is not explained, unless
they caught from a lamp burning in
the room. Wm. Moore was one of
the first oti the scene and most active
in quenching the flame.

Presentation And Address.
On August 80, about twenty mem-
bers of the Women's Guild and W. A.
met at the home of-, Mrs. Dudley
Holmes, Mrs, McGuire, who has
been a rnost faithful worker in these
societies, was about to leave Wing -
been, to reside in Neustadt, and it was
thought fitting to present her with a
small gift and an address. .Accord-
ingly, she was asked to accept a cut
glass bowl, as a memento of her con-
nection with the above societies. The
following is the address.
Dear Mrs. McGuire—We, your as-
sociates in the Woman's Auxiliary
and the Woman's Guild of St. Paul's
church, learning of your departure
from Wingham, cannot allow the
opportunity to pass without expres-
sing, in a tangible form, our sincere
regret at yoar going and 'our heartfelt
good wishes for your future. We ask
you .to accept, as a parting gifts this
link token of our great esteem and
love. It has been our joy for many
years to labor with you for the good
of our beloved church. All associa-
tion in any good work has its home
in the sanctuary of God. But it as-
sumes Et Still higher aspect in special
cases. If the sphere of its exercise is
not only in the intereouse of in
and social life, but association In some
great or rellgous enterprise, then it
not only has its home in tbe sanctuary
but it passes within the Veil; it abides
in the Holy of Holies ; it hives in the
very presence of God. All this has
been realized in our past labors to-
gether, and now, when the time has
come for our separation, words can -
net express our deep regret. But we
would fail in our duty to you, our
dear fellow -worker, and to our Divine
Master, were we to allow vain regret,
howevet sincere and deep, to take the
place of our good wishes and prayers
for your fritere. We know you well
enoegh from past experience to feel
that wherever you may be, there your
generous hands and loving heart will
find some work to do for our beloved
Master. And in your future life our
best wishes for your continued pros-
perity and our prayers for your Islip-
piness shall always follow you, May
Ile who holds us all in the hobow of
Ens Band, watch over and forever
guide you, and those dearest to you,
until we all, please God, unite once
more avound Ells Throne.
"Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones
fag away.
In Jest's' keeping we are sate, and
they.
Peace, perfect peace, our future all
unknown.
Jesus we know, and he is on the
throne.
It is enough; earth's+ struggles soon
shall cease
And Segue tali us to Heaven's perfeet
peade."
