al voice and a fine presence. At the
morning service the text chosen was
Proverbs 20th chapter and 27th verse,
"The spirit of man is the candle of the
Lord." It will not easily be forgotten.

rendered and there was a heartiness
about the congregational hymn sing -
leg that was uplifting.

vice. The Scripture referred to
Elijah's mantle being transferred to
Blithe,. The sermon abounded in
practical suggestions as to a life of
genuine service.
In addition to three fine anthems
by the choir a choice duet was well
sung by Miss Floody and Mrs. I.
Brown.

$210.00, possibly the best envelope
