It is looked for each week as a letter from home and we receive it ae+a rule nn time, therefore we are kept posted with the happenings each week in the vicinity of my birthplace, near Wal- ton. It is 10 years since Iwas me and expect I would see quite a change since then. Many have passed to the Great Beyond, I suppose the Elec- tion caused quite an excitement around Brussels as it did around Wey- burn. It was quite a turn -over in- deed, I am taking advantage of your kind offer asking for personal notes concerning myself and family. I operate a blacksmith, horse shoeing and woodwork business in Wey- burn. Weyburn is a good sized city and a good place for business, My shop machinery is operated with elec. tele power which reduces the hard work which used to be in the trade in Ontario. We are having fine weather here and hardly any snow, I occasion• ally meet people who used to live at Brussels and Walton and to my sur- prise I had one of my big nephews front Walton step into my shop this Fall, He had nearly grown out of my recollection, but very soon I had bitn sized up. I believe he was get- ting horneeibk for we had a time keep, NICE C -H Hl5T MAO GIFTS Can be found in our store in Boudoir Caps Fancy Dress Hangers Shoe Trees Lingerie Straps Corsage Boquets, &c.

JOHN OS110100E PASSES AWAX.— Early last Saturday warning John Osborne answered the imperative call and passed quietly away at the home of his son-in-law, Garner Nicholson, Lot 5, Con. 4, Morris township, The funeral took Tuesday afternoon,Ner- vine being conducted by Rev. Mr. Hawkins, Blyth, and interment was made in Elute Centre cemetery, where wife and sou are also interred, Mr. Osborne was born near Toronto and was iu hie 83rd year. 48 yeats ago he was united in marriage to Mary Rip- pon, of Euglaud, who passed away 12 years ago this Fall. The only son, Ohas., died a year later, Mre. Nichol - sou is the only survivor. The family lived in Morrie, near Montorieff and Ethel. Mr. Osborne had made his home at Mr. Nicholson's for past 3 years. He had not been in good health for past month. His surviving brothers are Chas„ in Hamilton • Jas. and Wesley, in the West; and' Alf„ in Port Huron. Mrs. Rarrieon, Mus- koka, is a sister. There were 7 sons and a daughter in the family, Mr. Osborne had a wide circle of frieuds and was highly esteemed, BIBLE SOCIETY,—On Sunday in Knox church the Beigrave branch of the British and Foreign Bible Society held a union service, Rev, J. Gibson, Toronto, being the preacher, Rev. Messrs, Jones and Peters took part in the service also, Anglican church withdrew their service and Sunday School but as Rev, Mr, Hawkins preaches in Auburn in the morning he could not be present. Weather and roads were tine but the attendance was disappointing as the congrega- tions of the three churches should have filled every seat In Knox church but as it was several were vacant places. Rev, Mr, Gibsnn's subject was, "What the Bible Society stands for," taking for his text the words, "The entrance of Thy Word giveth light," found in Psalm 119.180, He spoke of the great things accomplish- ed by the British and Foreign Bible Society in the face of great difficul- ties, traced its workings from its in- ception to present day when at every port of entry into Canada the Society has men with Bibles printed in every language to suit the many peoples who are coming to our shores, who present every nets comer with a copy of the "Word that giveth light." During past 4 years war Society is- sued over 40,000,000 copies, which when figured out means a copy off the presses every third second, Told of Dr, Livingston's great dream followed rip by Stanley and of several aspects of the work in foreign lands. This is the one place where all can work to- gether to fulfil the Saviour's com- mand to "Preach the gospel to all pegple," The Missionaries of all de- notnivations must get their supplies from the British and Foreign Bible Society as no single one of them could stand the enurmona expense of tranal 'tl ate g and id printing the Bible in over different languages and no Missionary has ever skd for sup- plies and been refused. Last May for the first time the Society Mae in danger of having to stop their presses and decided to do so as they were 8180,000 in debt but King George urged them to keep on, to make their wants known to the world and above all to trust in a prayer - answering God. In conclusion the speaker urged all to make some sacti- flee to help nuance the work and with their offerings to Pray i Pray I Pray 1 The offering will be announced later as additional sums are to come in, There were 56 births and 28 deaths registered at Olintonin 1921.
