Wren, M. A., Mount Forest, a former
pastor, preached the anniversary ser-
mons of Union church.. The congre-
gations were las ge and attentive, the
building not accommodating all who
wished to get in at the evening ser-
vice. The preacher was web ready
for his work and gave two excellent
discourses that tvill not soon be for-
gotten. Morning theme was "The
testimony of the nail priut," showing
clearly the principle of sacrifice in
individual and National life, In ad-
dition to selection by the choir Mrs,
Michel and Mrs, Machan gave a choice
duet. "Canada's need and how to
meet it" at the evening gathering was
a plea by the preacher for growing on
tate tree of life a higher type of man-
hood and womanhood and was special-
ly directed to the more youthful mem-
bers of the large congregation. Solos
were well sung by F. H. Gilroy and
Mrs. O. Walker, Brussels. Many of
the former parishioners and other
Mends of Rev, Mr, Wren were glad
to hear and greet him and he appear-
ed to be as well pleased as they. The
Fowl supper Monday evening was
well attended. After full justice had
been done to the splendid spread the
program was presented in the audi-
torionr, with Rev. Mr. 0IKe11, pastor,
in the chair. I0 was well worth bear-
ing and consisted of musical and liter-
aty selections front Rev, J. F. andMr's,

Had Brussels lost the game a pro-

Will. Henderson won a 85 bill be-
fore the match in a 100 yard dash

whether he circled the diamond or
not. Part of hie sp110 d should be

The ford Owners' Pic -sic 1
Gave an Afternoon of' Pleasure.
Program was interesting and carried
out to Cempiction.
Friday of last week wag the date
set for the Ford Owner's' Picnic. It
was well planned and advertised by
the energetic Ford agent, D. M. Scott,
and the proceedings were marked by
no small success. This was the 1st
event of the kind attempted in Brus-
sels and locality but another year
folk will understand not only the plan
better but realize that the fine awards
promised had no string on them. The
day was unique also from the fact
that no charge was made to the Park
either afternoon or evening nor to the
various competitions outlined. Wing -
ham Baud arrived early on the scene
and were nota bit stingy with their
music.
In the forenoon an Exhibition of a

adjoining Brussels, filled in the
