WILLIS CHURCH.
The paster preached at both ser-
vices on Sunday, in the evening re-
ferring to the wreck of the Titanic
and drawing lessons teem tit and en-
deavoring to apply them to the daily
lives of his hearers.
At a recent meeting of the eon-
gregation the following were appoint-
ed to , lull vacancies on the trustee
board ; Geo. D. McTaggart, T. Jack-
son, Jr., W. Brydone, J.. W.' Steven-
son and Wm Olen.
A MONEY SAVER.
Amherstburg merchants, says the
Ridgetown Dominion, took a very for-
ward step recently by introducing an
auto delivery service as a trial, which
will likeee result in the establishment
of such a system permanently. For
some time they, have been: trying • to
get together on some proposilloa
which will do away with tole mainten-
ance of horses, wagons, and with the
sobs ting of orders, which has grown
to be a nuisance. 11t a meeting lest
week a majority of the grocers decid-
ed that am auto delivery giving pat-
rons the benefit of two good deliver-
ies a day would be a great advantage
over the present system. If it pro-
ves out as they expect it to, adeliv-
ery will no doubt be put on. A auhn-
her of towns like Amherstburg have
been running the twice -a -day deitve
y
for some years and are very, well
satisfied with it in all cases.
ST. PAUL'S CHURCH.
A memorial service was held In this
church on Sunday morning last for
those who lost their lives in tiro
wreck of the Titanic.
The rector preached an excellent
sermon basing bis remarks' on the
words found in Luke 13-4-5. He
said that it was the belief of the
Jews that all calamities were the
direct consequences of the sin of the
sufferers, but that this was a false
belief. Those 1.600, who a week ago
were alive and well but who are no
dead, wcrr, not greater sinners the)
those of us who are still alive at
prosperous. Yet this terrible dis-
aster funhfshed for all a most Sol
,®� emn warning to improve the oppor-
tunities which continually occur, to
make peace with -God. The philos-
opher" sees in this accident a ,ub-
josh for' deep specula1.on, the eapmt-
alist sects the loss of millions, but
the Ohmtian realizes from it that
" n to fall into
terrible thing itisate bl g
the hands of the living God."
By this accident God would teach
people to open thele eyes to the tine's
whi=ch constantly surround then and
to heed the first commandment,
"Thou'' shalt have no other Gods be-
fore me." The wireless mchsage sav-
ed hundreds of lees, so le=t us heed
the wireless Message of the still„
small voice. One bright, spot in the ter-
rible disaster, the,rector thought,
was the absolute egualiity of human-
ity tee millionaire and the stoner,
the ilmmigrane and the• captain were
' one in death. "Chen, too, tlhe teen
game up their lives to save rile w;o
men aril children ;c tdlc' throng died
;for the weak. !Greater love hath
110 man than this, that a man lay
down his' life for his fri=ends,"
At the conclusion of the sermon
the organist, accompanied by Mr.
Phalert on the violin,; rendered "The
Dead March ins Saul."

WESLEY C'IIURCI£. •
The pastor on Sunday evening
preached an excellent sermon flaking
for his subject, • "Curreut Events."
and drawing many lessons from the
terrible wreck of the Titanici, which
has filled a large place in the public
mind during the past ten days. ' In
the course of his address he paid a
high tribute to the press, which at
a great saorifice of time and money
had so quickly obtained the :acts
concerning the disaster and with such
accuracy and fullness of .detail. He
also referred to the many splendid
ede',orials which had since been pen-
ned and the morals and lessons de-
ducted which, he declared, were an
honor to the profession.
The ,Good Citizenship departtnent
had . charge of the League meeting on
Monitay eventing when the subjects un-
der discussion was the different 'nat-
ters about which the Dominion and
Provincial Governments have power
to legislate.

lRepresenta..ves from every reunici-

development of the Maitland power
were present a0 the Hyd).ta-electric
meeting in the town hall ou Thursday
last. The speakers were Engineers
Yokes and Aeons of the Hydro -ince
Uric Commission, who gave the re -
suits of a systematic investigation of
the Maitland's possibilities which had
been carried on for several months.
The Maitland is not a very depend-
able stream. Last May it would
have developed 65,00 horsepower, in
June 3300, July 800, August 1117,
September 1133,'Octeber 1750, Nob -
ember 2700, January 5000, February
3100 and in April of this year at
high flood 510,000.' The range is
thus from 800 h., p. to over half a
111111100. This means that while a
dans could be built at the Black hole
that would hold the normal flow for
$250,000, in order to _withv,ttand- the
rush of the river when on its April
rampage a dam of ` such strength
would be necessary that the cost ;pf
it would amount to over half a mil-
lion dollars, This large expeedit"

A RECORD EGG;
Anyone who has 'a finicky appetite,
and many people' have alt this season
of the year, shoultil go to Mr. J. B.
Hoover for breakfast, eggs. His hens
lay the kind that should suit a small
appetite. Yesterday ho picked up
in his chicken coop a pertee&y form-
ed egg which only measured about
three :f: -rhes the ''longest way a-
round". Of course 'J. B's" hens
do not all lay eggs of such diminu-
tive size, this just happened to bet
the product of an off day for one of
them.
BAPTIST CHURCH..
Suitable references were made by
Pastor Wylie on Sunday to the ter-
rible Titanic disaster, "The factor
of conscience in the crises of life"
was the morning subject, and in the
evening the text was "Flow are the
mighty fallen and the weapons of war
perished." The services were both
impressive and profitable.
"Perseaenance" was .the theme at
the B. Y. P. U. meeting on Monday
right. ' Mr. James Tucker presided
and a genera/ discussion on the sub-
ject ensued. Next Monday tie ho dnh-
portant subject of "Baptist Princi-

been very ffl the past couple of weeks,
Thad a peculiar 'experience on Monday.
Her trouble was supposed to be eon-
gestioe of the lungs and the attend-
ant physician `could do nothing to
relieve it. PIer case grew rapidly
more serious and ou Sunday her re-
covery looked very doubtful. : " On
Monday morning, however during a
coughing fit, she coughed up a tim-
othy head, •which had apparently
been lodged in her lung. This utas
followed by a large quantity of mat-
ter which which

about it v

her condition began to improve and
she is steadily regaining her health.
