Jackson was one of those who happened to he away from home during t'he:stornh and he was delayed is Toronto from Saturday, the day the storm broke, until the following Thursday. evening. "Uncle Tom" is used to being away from home and he doesn't mind travelling at all, what he ohjects to is not being able to travel when he wants To. He took the train for home on the _Saturday in question and sat 111 it at the ['Hien. Station for a couple of hours Or so until the passengers were informed that all trains were cancel lett. E.

Ile took for his text the words of Christ to his rliselplee : ''As 111y feather hath sent nue into the world, ma so send I yott into the world," and his address was one of deep si:'iriteality and carried inspiration to his hearers, The choir, which has been re -organ- ized under the new loader, Mr. J. 1 . Doherty, rendered good service during the any. In the morning the clo'r wak assisted by Mr. Lowe and in the evening .Truss Margaret 'Torrance as- sisted in the service ot song, each rendering a solo. Chi Monday evening the entertain- ment and lecture by tiro Rev. Capt. Graham of London, was given. On making bis appearance Capt. Graham was given a rousing greet- ing„ the audience rising to receive him. His address was a simple, un- affected story of , his cepet'icnces among the soldier, boys. ' He went overseas as chaplain of the 182nd battalion but was unable to go. to France owing to being somewhat ov- er age. 1Fe had much intercourse with the boy's in England, however, both in camp and hospital, and his stories of their bravery, their cheerer (uhhess -under difficulties and even ter- t•ible suffering, gait one scene idea of the splendid maa'cend of the boys who are standing in the breach for us "over there," He spoke also of the Red Cross and the wonderful work it is doing and took the trouble to deny most em- phatically the insidious story which Lias been whispered about time and again to the effect that elle bona are obligees to buy • supplies from the Red Cross. He also spoke in the highest terms of the work of the doctors and nurs- es, whose bravery is only surpassed by that of the soldiers. in conduit - Mg his address Capt, G1:aham, said : To be worthy of these brave boys, 50100 of whom ate stow' sleeping un- der the lilies ot France, we must 'carry on' Here at home."

Investigation showed that the water in the stand pipe was low, a gopd cleaielower than it ought.to be, and this week a warning iris- been sent out to users urging that water bo not wasted. A number, it seems, have gotten into the habit of allow- ing their taps to run to prevent ttene freezing up, and thus a great deal of the essential fluid has run off into the sowers. The unusually cold weather which. we have- ex4herienced this winter together with the short- age of coal has caused more trouble with water pipes than usual but it is a simple matter to turn ori tiie water during a colt[ snap, every night it necessary, It would bo well to take heed to the warning, (ram -the Public Utilities as a water famine would add much to our troubles at the present time.
