W hitechurch
(Crowded out last week)
A large gathering of the friends of
Dr. and Mrs. D. Jamieson assembled
in Whitechurch on Tuesday evening.
May 4, to bid them farewell on their
departure to Barrie. Appreciation of
the Dr. and hie services to the com-
munity for upwarde of 20 years as
well as for Mrs. Jamieson, whose
birthplace and only home was White-
church, were expressed in many ways
by the gathering. The program of
the evening coneieted of vocal duets
by the Mleses Fox and Gordon and
by Mies Fox and Mr, Cecil Middleton,
a vocal solo by Mr. Harold Parker and
a reading by Mr. John Cook, Rev.
J, Ure Stewart acted as chairman
and spoke of the high esteem in which
the Pr. and his wife were held in the
eon:imuraity and of the valued eervices
of the Dr. as the first physician of
Whitechurch and of Mrs. Jamieson in
building up the moral and religious
life of the community. After this
they with their little son, David Mc-
Lean, were called forward and an
address was read by Mr. A, Fox when
Dr. Jamieson was presented by Mr,
John Campbell with a gold -headed
cane and Mrs. Jamieson by Mrs. D
Kennedy with a silver tray and tea
service, and their little son by Miss
Lettie Fox with a silver mug. In a
few well chosen words Dr. Jamieson
on behalf of himself and family thank-
ed his friends for their kind gifts, of
which he said he was unworthy and
expressing regret at their separation
extended a hearty welcome to them
all at his future home in Barrie.
After a°'few remarks from Messrs.
John Webster and Frank Henry and
Rev. Jas. Penrose, in which appreci-
ation of the services of the Dr. and his
wife to the community as well as
regrets at their departure and beet
wishes for the future, the evening's
farewell was closed with the national
anthem.
The address is as follows—
Dear Dr. and Mrs?? Jamieson:
We, your friends and neighbors,
have gathered this evening to bid
farewell to you, who have resided here
for so many years.
This is not a pleasant task because
we prefer to assemble for the purpose
of extending a welcome hand rather
than saying good-bye to our friends.
We indeed regret that conditions are
such as to make your departure neces-
sary. However since your decision
has been final we must bear the
consequences.
Now your removal from our midst
is a distinct loss in the truest sense of
term. You, Dr. Jamieson, were the
first resident physician of White-
church in which fact we take great
pride. Throughout the two decades
of your faithful and untiring service
to the sick, the suffering and the
dying, you greatly attached yourself
to the community. While other
changes frequently took place you
still remained part and parcel of the
community's existence. And now
your severance of this connection
means a great deal to the neighbor-
hood. You will therefore be missed
first of all as a physician
and then also as a citizen of White
church and community.
And you, Mrs, Jamieson, will be no
less missed. You have known no
other home. To you there is but one
place and that is \Vhitechurch. Those
who have known you beet realize what
a help you have been. to the moral
and the religious life of the com-
munity and what a loss to the same
your departure will he.
We trust however, since you are
leaving us that your return visits may
be frequent, for in Whitechurch you
will always find a welcome awaiting
you.
And .now wishing you both along
with your little boy . every blessing
with the hope that you may long be
spared together with renewed health,
we ask you, Dr., to accept this gold -
headed cane, and you, Mrs. Jamieson,
this silver tray and tea service and
for your little sone David McLean,
this silver mug, as a alight expression
of the esteem in which you are held in
this neighborhood.
Signed on behalf of Whitechurch
and community—
Rev. J. Ure Stewart, Mrs. F. Henry,
George Robinson, Joseph Obamney,
John Gillespie.
The W. M. S. of the Whitechurch
Presbyterian Church presented Mrs.
Jamieson, who was a faithful member
NO1TAM ADV NO
of the Society since its organization,
with the following address—
Dear Mrs. Jamieson ;—It Is with
feelings of sorrow that we learn you
are about to take your departure from
our midst, \Ve are sorry ,kat the
tire that have bound to together tee
loug aro about to be severed, and we
assure you that we will wise you
greatly. You will be whaled in the
village where you have spent all your
life, where you have hosts of friends,
warm and true; missed in the church
and in our Missionary Society, where
yon were always willing to do all in
your power to help on the good cause,
for which we all work, May God bless
you and keep you, your esteemed
husband and little son.
In conclusion we will say good-bye,
hoping we may have the pleasure of
seeing you back to Whitechurch
whenever possible.
Katherine Stewart, President,
Mrs. A. J. Emerson, Secretary.
Signed this 4th day of May, 1915.
Last Sunday morning was observed
as Mother's Day in the Presbyterian
Church when the pastor spoke on
"The World's Debt of Honor to Moth-
er." The choir most acceptably rend-
ered "Mother's prayer" and "Tell
Mother I'll be There." The whole
service was very impressive.
The topic of the Y, P's Guild last
Sunday evening was "Why I am
proud of Denomination." The pastor
led, showing the glorious history of
the Presbyterian Church. Next Sun-
day evening Mr. Jas. Laidlaw will
have charge when the subject treated
will be "Why it is wrong to Gamble."
The 01st anniversary of the organi•
nation of the Presbyterian Church will
be observed on Sunday and Monday
evening, May 30 and 31, Efforts are
being put forth to repeat as far as
possible the success of the splendid
services last year. In addition to the
special music by the choir at all ser-

his illustrated address on "Practical

of all the practical work of the Pres-

denseness of the foliage, or the com-
pactness of the wood. may be question-
able, The plant alluded to in Scrip.
ture under the name of the box -tree,
is undoubtedly the Buxus sempervivus
of Linnaeus. It is mentioned only by
Isaiah, and that chiefly, to fill up with
becoming truth and dignity the glow-
ing language and varied imagery in
which the final glory of the church is
foretold. In allusion to the habits
and well-known properties of this
shrub or plant, the saints are likened
unto box•treese in which the tante,
of the Sacred writer pourtrayed their
"comeliness, true solidity and sted-
fastnese, and the incorruptibleness of
their graces." In :this sense (Isa..41:19)

says, "I will plant in the wildernese
the cedar, the ehittah tree, and the
myrtle, and the oil -tree; I will set in
the desert, the fir -tree, and the pine,
and the box -tree together. And, in
like manner, (lea. (10:13), He says, "The
glory of Lebanon," (i. e. the cedar)
"shah come unto thee, the fir -tree, the
pine -tree, and the box together, to
beautify the place of my sanctuary."
It is probably in imitation of the
intimation sinbodied in the latter
clause of this verse, that the box -tree,
with other evergreens, is frequently
used in England, to "beautify the
sanctuary," or for the internal decora-
tion of churches at Christmas. It is
well-known, that their ancestors were
in the habit of replacing the Ohriet-
mas evergreens with sprigs of box on
Candlemas -day, and thence forward

Boohart says it Is !Quad by the chores
of the Dead Sea. The wood is very
valuable, and sells at a high price by
weight. It is very hard and poeder-
oue, and ie the only European timber,
that wont swim in water. It is ranked
with Ebony for closeness of grain.
Old Evelyn earl, "being very hard and
smooth, and not apt to warp, it is
well adapted to a variety of nicer
works, and is of special use for the
turner, engraver, carver, mathemati-
cal intsument-maker, comb and pipe
or flute -maker, To these uses' Virgil
seems to allude, where he says --
"Nor box, nor lime without their use
is made;
Smooth -grained, and proper for the
turner's trade."
Box has been much celebrated as a
medicine; but Gerarde shrewdly re-
marks, that "it is more fit for dagger -
hafts than to make medicines." The

Tetrandrla. It is well known in its
dwarf state; as a shrub, however,
when left to itself it becomes almost a
tree, often twelve or fifteen feet high,
with a trunk of considerable thickness,
covered with a rugged greyish bark;
that of branches being yellow, The
leaves . are opposite, nearly sessile,
oval, notched at the end, very entire,
of various breadths, and shining. The
petals are concave, blossoms, greenish
white. The Romans clipped it into
the shape of various animals; for
which purpose it was second to the
yew with us in former times; but the
dwarf box stood unrivalled for "bord-
ering up a knot; and was esteemed a
marvellous fine ornament to the
flower garden." Pliny affirms, that
no animal will touch the seed of box.
Gmelin states, that the branches are
fatal to camels in the East that eat
them ; and Withering states, that
theyare also fatal to pigs, and
other creatures, Corsican honey was
supposed, by the ancients, to owe its
infancy to the bees feeding on box.

"Leek out, lads, the Germans are

The Duke of Orleans
Cannot Get a Place
in the Allied Armies
********************
N these days when recruits are at
so high a preneium Louis Pl'ilippe
Robert, Duke of Orleans, 1s a
strange and anomalous figure.
His sympathies are all with the
allies, but he cannot join any of the
allied armies. And this in spite of
the tact that he is p. soldier with
considerable experience,
The Duke of Orleans is the head
of the Orleans -Bourbon house, which
formerly ruled France. He has a
large following in the republic, but
the French Government, wary of
anything which will foment Royal-
ist activities, forbids him entry to
the country. He Is compelled, there-
fore, like Manuel of Portugal and
the aged Empress Eugenie, to live in
England, where he keeps up a coun-
try house with considerable state at
Wood Norton, Evesham, in Worces-
tershire. When the war broke out
the duke volunteered for service as

a private in the French army, but a
law forbidding such a proceeding
stood in his way, and the French
Government, unwilling to allow him
to earn any glory which would aug-
ment his popularity, refused to re-
peal the law. The duke turned to
Britain and Russia, but probably on
the advice of France, they declined
his services. The latest overtures
were made to Italy, but it is under-
stood that that nation wants no,com-
plications which might arise out of
the Pretender's military achieve-
ments.
Louis Philippe was born at York
House, Twickenham, England, In
1869, and is now forty-six years of
age. llis father was the Comte de
Paris, and his uncle the Due de
Chartres. In 1896 he married the
Archduchess Marie Dorothea of Aus-
tria. He was educated in the Muni-
cipal College, England, and later in
the College Stanislas in France, at
a time when his residence abroad
was not insisted upon. In 1886 the
French Government, for its own
piece of mind, exiled him and he
went to England, where he secured a
commission in the 60th Rifles and
served in India in 1888 and 1889.
In the latter year he went again to
Paris, but was again expelled.
A Repentant Bandit.
Among the motor bandits who
terrorized Paris in those distant days
before the war was a Belgian named
de Boe. Not being one of the heads
of the gang, his own head was saved,
but he was condemned to 10 years'
servitude. From his present abode
on "The Devil's Island" de Boe has
written to his legal defender in
Paris regretting that he cannot take
up arms for his country. His letter
is a curious document in which a
note of real sincerity and patriotism
pierces the flambuoyancy so charac-
teristic of the gang to which he be-
longed.
"My poor little Belgium," be
writes, "has felt the whole weight
of the German heel. Will she recov-
er from it? I hope so with all the
force of my soul. For I have discov-
ererd that, though for long I did not
know it, deep in my heart is a sin-
cere love for my country. Could 1
lint have a rifle in my hand and take
my place on the front at Dixmudo or
at Ypres, my courage would be equal
to my hate, and I would make these
Teutons pay dear for the hours of
anguish I have lived here. But that
is the cruel part of my position. I
can do nothing."
