Unbroken Nome Circle Unique Family History of Geo. and Mrs. Kirkby and Family, Of very few families can the record of well known residents of Brussels and locality, in the persons of George and. Mre. Kirkby and family, be writ- ten, as the family circle, consisting of father and mother, S brothers and 7 sisters, is unbroken and all are enjoy- ing comparative good health and pros- perity. Mr. Kirkby. was born in York Coun- ty, Ontario, in 1837. was married by Rev. Mr. Logie: of Thames Road, Os- borne Township, Huron Co., to Mies Margaret McAtter, 64 years ago on March let. This stout hearted young couple came to Moiris township in the Fall of 1872 and sojourned in that municipality until retiring from farm- ing and moving to Brussels in Novem- ber, 1922. Glasgow, Scotland, was the birthplace of the queen of the house- hold, in 1889, coming to Canada when lj years of age. It was fashionable to have large families in those earlier years, hence to the Kirkby home was born 8 sons (Jonathan, Brussels ; Harry, the well known Veterinary,Belgrave • and Herbert, who sustains the familyrep- utation on the old horueetead,9th line Morris),- and 7 daughters (Mrs. Oaistor, Mich. ; Mrs. P. McArthur, Morris ; Mrs. T. O. McCall, Brussels ; Mrs. Robt, Watt, Blyth; Mrs. John Short - reed, B. 0. ; Miss Ellen, at home ; and Mies Jennie, of Kitchener. Municipal honors were bestowed on the head of: the house by Morris elec- tors and f.,r 8 years he sat at the Council Board as Councillor and pro- moted to the Deputy Reeveship, which post he filled for 4 years. For a long period he served the countryside as Auctioneer in addition to carrying on farming operations. Although 87 years of age Mr. Kick - by is still a lively old gentleman and has just completed the splitting of 7 cords of maple blocks and is looking round for new worlds to conquer with the coming of Spring. Mrs. Kirkby has no idle hours on her program and during the past 6 mouths has knit 6 underskirts, socks, mitts, &c, The Kirkbys are all musical and the family concert is well worth hearing. THE Pose' congratulates the family on the unbroken circle and their abil- ity, for so large a number, to see one another, frequently and we indulge in the hope that the genial Mr. and Mrs. Kirkby may be spared to the home for a good many years to come.

At the evening service pastor dealt with"The Consequences of Disobedience," i11us. tested by the story of 'Jonah (s) His obedience to the call' of God causes the billows to pass over a man's lite ; (s) Disobedience to the call of God shuts a man out from the presence of God ; (3) Jonah repenting of his disobedience be- comes a new man, willing to give his life to save life.
