BLYTH. 'Sympathy is extended to Mfr. V. M. Bray, manager of the Bank of Com- merce on the death of his father, Mr. Samuel 'Bray, widely known civil en- gineer and land surveyor, aeho died at his home its Ottawa on Sunday. A native of. Quebec City, he was educ- ated in England and later spent some time in Mexico in the silver mining industry. Returning to Canada he took up residence at Barrie before go- ing to Ottawa in 1S84.1Before his su- perannuation tett years ago he had filled the post of Chief Surveyor of the Indian Department for more than, twenty years, Besides his widow he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. George S.

Ever since union was declared be- tween the former Methodist and Presbyterian Churc'hes efforts have been trade here to consummate un- ion between these two :churches, but all their efforts failed. But, at last, a solution has been arrived at by means or another vote. St. Andrew's Unit- ed took the initiative by taking a standing vote at their annual meeting which was unanimous, Then Queen Street United held a vote by ballot which gave a substantial majority for uniting. lap to this tine the question of which property was to be used had been the stumbling .block but last week the property committee of the Huron Presbytery came here and al- ter a thorough examination they de- cided that St. Andrew's manse was to be accepted, and that for -the next year the congregations should meet for the first six .months starting on !July 1. in Queen ;Street -Church, and for the next six months in St. And- rew's, which seems to be agreeable to all. After the term of six months in each .church the committee will meet and decide upon which church will be used permanently. McKILLOP. School Report of S. S. No. 4, Mc- Killop, for.

The Temple was supposed to be a place of prayer, but it had become a Place of commerce, And the Temple was rich, the priests rotund, the people reduced to mere pawns for the priests. :Balances of deceit were there to weigh the money 'and there was no appeal.

Annas and C•aiapthas had decreed to desecrate the Holy Tempile for greed, The poor were crushed—the mill ground exceedingly fine=antd it was alt done in the name of religion. The animal market so conveniennt — but so conscienceless! Privately own- ed beasts which were without blem- ish were condemned as unfit for sac- rifice, while blemished unmarketable creatures were :blessed and offered for sale for sacrifice at prices away above the market—pigeons worth eight cents were held at four dollars. `- That was what Jesus saw on Palm Sunday. On Monday, early, He walked de- liberately -without breakfast -after a night of prayer, to carry out His pur- pose. He stayed by the way only long enough to blast a fig tree which had no fruit on it, Then straight to the Temple to blast a forth of religion which had no fruit and straight to the sellers' exchange, where He ov- erturned the tables, spilled the •mon- ey, With a avhip He drone out the human element, declaring "Iit is writ- ten 'My House shall be a house of prayer,' blit you have made it a den of thieves." Then He opened the gates of the stalls and let the sheep and cattle free, and .gently directed them to the Temple gates IHe ordered the pigeons to be carried out, The dealers departed in hectic dis- order. The pharisees stood helpless by and cursed beneath their breath, But—as these went out—others carte in. Some carrying :their sick, leading their blind, supporting their lame, eager listeners, and Jesus taught and healed and blessed. All was quiet save for the voice of Jesus as He taught, and the voice of thanks as the people rejoiced. In that court of babble there had conte peace. The quietness attracted—and as the people crowded in, they saw the transformation, — and sighed, "What a contrast," The children were the first to note the difference. Those boys, sons of the levites and priests, who sang in the Temple choir—they knew the Psalms of the Passover, the Psalms of Ascent. As a group of then; enter- ed the Temple court where Jesus was and stood among the pillars, they saw the changed conditions and began to march around the multitude, singing "Hosanna to the Son of David," Oth- er lads from among the crowd foll- owed then until the whole body of boyhood in the Temple had joined their chorus. Jests stood, silently watching them as they marched about, his face all aglow with a new hope for Israel, "'Their fathers have refused to accept pie," Jesus thought, "perhaps the children will not forget when they are men",...:..fAnsi there was born - in Jesus' thought, a prayer which found utterance four days later,-4'Father, forgive them for they know ,not what they do." . ,Feeling a hand tugging at his arm, Jesus turned and found a hard grizzl- ed face peering up into his, and heard the demand for silence. "Make them he quiet." 1Nay." Jesus said. "Have ynu neve;•heard it said, Out of the mouth of babes is ;try praise perfect- ed'?" Then Jesus taught agaieu. The recple listened. Fear, awe,_ and faith. -oh -melted them to listen. ....But, yonder in the .high priest's room there were ,plots iii the, staking to destroy Jesus.
