Are Your
Valuable Papers Safe ?
Very often people who would
elnot take the chance a£ keeping
Iarge sums of money In their
homes will think little of leaving
valuable bonds or other documents
practically unprotected,
A fire or burglary in such
cases may easily cause a heavy
loss,
Protection for such valuables
is obtained at little expense by
renting a safety deposit box in

Fixit SEttencE.–The Annual Har-
vestThankagivtug service of Trinity
church, i3elgrave, was held last Sun-
day afternoon. Rev, It. D. Mess, of
St. David's Church, London, being
the preacher for the day, St. John's
Church choir. Brussels, very kindly
and acceptably rendered the musical
part of the service. They were as-
sisted by 1tIis, (Rev.) Hawkins, who
also sang a choice solo. There Was a
well filled church composed of people
of the three churches to take part in
theThanksgiving Rev. Mr.
services.
Wiese took for his text, Prov. 10:6, "He
that gathereth in Summer is a wise
son ; but he that sleepeth in harvest
is a son that causeth shame." He
divided his subject into three great
lessons to be learned from the harvest.
lst--Gad provides all ; 2nd–Our co-
operation ; 3rd–Opportunity, which
as far as our part goes, is the key
stone as the difference in the results
of opportunities taken advantage of
or opportunities neglected in temporal
things is tremendous and far-reaching
but in things eternal is tete-fold more -
en. It was an eloquent sermon with
the needs and opportunities of the
present time and the great final Har-
vest Home gathering kept in view.
"He that gathereth in Summer is a
wise son, but he that sleepeih in har-
vest or time of opportunities is a son
that causeth shame."
"The sower went forth sowing,
The seed in secret slept
Through days of faith and patience,
Till Mut the green blade crept.
And warmed by golden sunshine,
And fed by silver rain,
At last the fields were whitened
To harvest once again,
0 1 Praise the Heavenly sower
Who gave the fruitful seed,
And watched and watered duly,
And ripened for our need.
Behold 1 the Heavenly Sower
Goes forth with better seed,
The word of sure salvation, -
With feet and hands that bleed.
Here in Hie church 'tis scattered,
Our spirits ate the soil,
Then let an ample fruitage
Repay His pato and toil.
0 ! fair to Him the harvest
Wherein all goodness thrives,
And this the true thanksgiving,
The first fruit of our lives,"
The Thank -offering was about $125.00
with other returns eo come yet.
