In 1912 the 'United Presbyterian Church, situated on the site of the present church, united with Duff's Church. Space will not permit us to tell the history of the congregation of the United Presbyterian congregation. Though not a large congregation at the time of the union, they have made a strong contribution to the life of Duff's congregation. A few seats from this church are still used in the baiement of the church. The first manse was erected shortly af- ter Walton severed connections with the Brussels congregation and is now owned by Mr. Forrest. The present manse was built during the pastorate, of Mr. Chandler and is recognized as one of the finest minister's resid- ences for a rural church. This sum- mer the church was painted and re- pairs made to the property. In the church union of 1925 the Methodist congregation united with Duff's church to form a larger fellowship. It is interesting to note that in the 75 years of the history of Duff's congregation only five treasurers have held office. The present treasurer, Miss Mary Smillie, is now complet- ing her fortieth year of service fn this office.' Her predecessors in the office were Mr. James Campbell, Mr. Thomas McFadzean, Mr. James Mac- Donald, and Mr. Jonathan Moore. The history of the Sunday School dates from the early days of the con- gregation. A newspaper clipping states, "In 1866, at a congregational meeting steps were taken to organ- ize a Sabbath. School." The late Mr. James Smillie was appointed as the first superintendent. Sipce that time. the duties pertaining to that office Have been fulfilled by Mr. James Ful- ton, Mr. Peter Watson, Mr, Alex Gar- diner and Mr. Silas Johnston who is Continued on Page 8 FINGERS CUT IN COMBINE Mr. Raymond Nott had the mis- fortune last week of having the ling• erg of his right hand severely cut while adjusting a belt on the eons bine.

Red Cross Notes The regular monthly meeting of the Seaforth branch of the Red Cross So- ciety will be held in the Carnegie Li- brary on Tuesday evening, Sept. 10, at 8 p.m. All who are interested in the Red Cross work are invited. Following is a report of the work completed during the month of Aug- ust: 1092 hospital supplies; 4159 sur• gical dressings, 312 knitted articles, 75 articles for refugee work. The greatest need at the moment is new clothing for refugees and evac- uees 75,000 refugees from the Chan- nel Islands are in England. People have been moved about so often that many have lost what clothes they had. Older boys and girls have been overlooked up to now. In addition to the refugees from. the Channel Is- lands, there are approximately 100,- 000 evacuees of all ages now needing clothing in Britain. In making cloth- ing, do it with these points in mind: 1. Laundry difficulties. 2. Make every outfit complete in details as to fastening, etc. 3. Consider what our own famil- ies want and work from that. 4. Clothes are to be worn in Eng- land, but may be needed in Canada, if children come over in the numbers expected. 5. Do not forget adults. 6. All sorts of knitted garments for civilians are most acceptable. There is no change in the needs of the armed forces at present. Gloves and mitts will be wanted in a few weeks. Cold weather comes earlier on the sea and abroad. It. is with great pleasure one re- peats words quoted from a recent cable from our overseas commission- er: "Clothing reecived first class, much admired by pleased recipients," and from another source, "If the wo- men could hear the comments passed on Canadian Red Cross supplies. they would be partially repaid for all their efforts." • WEST BRODHAGEN Loses Fingers from Both Hands In Threshing Machine.— A bad accident happened on Friday last on the farm of August Scharr berth, lot 33., con. 9, Logan, while threshing with Mr. Manuel Beuer- man's outfit, His assistant, Mr. Geo, Baler, was trying to keep the cutter on the mill going in that damp straw and got his hands too close to the knives which cut his thumb and first and second fingers off Ms left hand and part of the thumb and first and little finger on his right hand.
