weaker until death claimed her early
Wednesday morning, and her'depart-
ure came as a shock to htr family
and many friends. Mrs. Mclay.was

ert Ross, of Grey township, a pioneer
of Huron County, and one of the first
precentors of Egmondville Presby-
terian Church. Always` of a quiet.

Christian life, wasthe soul of honor
and never failed to extend a helping
hand to anyone in trouble, She leaves

sons and two daughters, all of whom

lishes the following concerning a suc-
cessful,recital given in Knox church

merly of Seaforth: "Auspicious wea-
ther,-a,fine choir, a large audience and

success of the service of praise rend-
ered,at Knox Presbyterian church
last . evening. Mr. Livens made his
debut^ in St. Catharines as organist
and choir instructor on this occasion
and fully met all the expectations of
the public which his few months resi-
dence has aroused. The choir is prac-
tically newand is composed almost
entirely of the fresh young voices of
the young people of the church and
the exacting. -choruses of Gounod's
"Redemption" and Woodward's beau-
tiful setting of. "Crossing the Bar"
tested their capabilities to the full.
The closing chorus, "The Hymn of
the' Apostles," was given in brillialtt
style. Mr. Livens: isto be'congratulat-
eu in introducing to a St. Catharines
audience soloists of such eminence
and a work of such beauty. His abil-
ity as a conductor was shown in the
animation and rhythm he was able to
secure fromthe chorus, at the same
time playing the exacting score, and
church future' of Knox -ch ch choir under
his leadership is well assured."
