SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.— That we cannot tell what a day or a night may bring forth is very true and was sadly proved in the home of Wil- liam Strath, 10th Oon., last Tuesday evening.

Not arriving home at teatime Mrs. Strath and son went to seek .husband and father.

His skull was crushed and his neck broken. The men from the shanty said they heard the tree fail about 3 o'clock but knew nothing of course of the damage. that had been done. It seems the roots of the tree had been burned so that only' one had been holding before the fall. The remains were tenderly borne to the (muse amidst the sorrow of both home and, community. Mr. Strath was born in Scotland, came to Canada when IS years of age and lived for some years at Tileonburg, Norfolk Co.

Miss Tessie Halliday sang an ap- propriate solo. The choir rendered an excellent anthem, entitled "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord." An immense crowd of eager people thronged the church at 2.30, every available seat being occupied, taxing the ingenuity of the ushers totheir utmost. Entrance and entrance plat- form were crowded with eager wor- shippers, who were anxious to have some part in the old time service, don- ducted by Rev. W. T. Wilkins, a pas- tor of Knox church 32 Yeats ago. He preached a genuine, old time orthodox sermon in length, taking his texb 1 frorteEph. 345, "Of whom the whole family in Heaven and earth is named." The preacher said in part, he meditat- ed as to what subjecthe would take on this memorable occasion and as he thought of the pioneer families that have passed on to their Heavenly home, many of their' descendants still active members in the congregation,. other families having joined the ranks of the congregation, it was a com- forting thought— the unity of the whole family in Heaven and on earth. Many were visibly moved by the pres- entation of this tenth, which wets im pressively and eloquently delivered. The congregation stood in prayer and sat in singing. James Cunningham acting as pceoentor and the organ dispensed with. The old time collec- tion boxes were used with 6 foot handles.
