ART EXHIBIT AT COLLEGIATE.
Copies of the Masterpieces Will be
Seen Here.
Beautiful Carbons and •Photograv-
ures will be shown in the Assembly
Romia of the Collegiate March 18th -
20th. This will be an educational op-
portunity with a two -fold advantage.
Recognizing the educational advan-
tages to be derived from, opportuni-
ties .to see good, art, -the Collegiate
has arranged with the Elson Art
Publication Co. for an art exhibition
of tw'o hundred pictures to be held in
the 'Assembly Room of the Collegi-
ate, March 18th -20th.
This collection consisting in large
part of •carbon photogeavaares • and
prints in full color, made directly
from the original masterpieces is
selected by art experts and slimild
attract large crowds.' A small admis-
sion will 'be charged, the proceeds of
which, after deducting the expense of
the exhibit, will be used in the pur-
chase' of pictures for wall decoration.
The purpose of the exhibition is thus
clearly two -fold.
First—To give people an opportun-
ity to see a collection of the world's
famous masterpieces of painting,
sculpture, and architecture.
Second—To make it possible for •
the Collegiate to own a few of these
pictures. •
Why should this exhibit interest
you? Because, throughout ihe e
try, people are awakening to the im-
portance and value of good art as a
,creative of,a refinin» influence and in-
spiring atmosphere—and just as sure-
ly as people become familiar with the
hest in art, just so quickly will the
crude in art be displaced through ap-
ereciation- of something better. It is,
of course, idle to suppose that one
shall become a competent judge of
art simply through studying foraa
time photographs of prints.
One great object of picture study is
that of opening the eyes to the beau-
ty all around which an artist's train-
ed eye perceives, while it •;s missed
by others. This is the essential ser-
vice of all great inen—to draw us up
to their own level of insight, enjoy-
ment and inspiration.
These pictures are of interest to
both young and old, and they are ex-
pected to attract large numbers of
people, Every one should come.

knowledge of the...Lord shall cover
the earth as the water covers the sea.

MRS. ROBT. WILLIS.
The passing from earth of Mrs.
Robt, Willis at her home on Gode-
rich street, early on Tuesday morn-
ing, February 23rd, did not come as
a great surprise to her many friends.
for it was known that she had suffer-
ed a breakdown in health several
years ago which placed her in the
invalid class The infirmity of these
6 closing years was in marked con-
trast with the preceding 75 years df
her life, which were years of rare
all-around fitness and abounding
activity. In the home and in her own
family circle, she found a sphere oj,
wifely and motherly affection where
.her qualities of Christian faith and
devotion to duty were in willing and
constant expression. The energy,
sympathy and public spirit with
which Mrs, Willis was gifted were
bound to and did widen the circle
of her interests in the Seaforth
Methodist Church, of which she was
a member for over 50 years. She
was President of the Ladies' Aid for
an extended„ period, and she filled
for years the Presidency of the W. C.
T, U. of the town. She was in that
large class of shrewd women who
have the happy faculty of seeing
the bright and hopeful side in -human
affairs, and in these executive posi-
tions to which she was called in
Church and community, she was
helped by a wholesome sense of
humor which always blended with
moral earnestness and courage. Her.
sphere of usefulness was extensive,
and she ever saw in it a welcome op-
portunity to serve God and humanity.
Mrs. Willis whose maiden name
was Lewanna Brewer, • was born in
Taunton, Somersetshire, England, 81
years ago, coming to Canada and
settling with her parents at Harpur-
hey when she was 9 years old. In
1865 she was married to Mr. Robert
Willis; who is still held in 'warm
remembrance as one of Seaforth's
leading business men, for upwards of
two generations, and who died in
1910,
The family OrMrs. Willis were 7
in number: One daughter, Annie
who died in 1896;•and 6 sons:a-Harry,

and candid.

ton; Mrs. J. G. Sturdy, of Goderich,
'Mrs. Ellison, of Windsor, and Mrs.
