Road, called ChiefsAllen, who forced
his way into the house, which was
'filled with coal gas from the furnace,
and 'discovered Mr. Quirk and his
sister, Emma, lying unconscious on
the floor.
Dr. M. C. Calder was rushed to the
house and, gave medical treatment,
later Dr. Colbourne also arrived but
it was not utrtil early afternoon that
the vicitims began to rally.
, It appears that on Friday evening,
Miss Quirk, who was not feeling well
fell to the floor. Her brother went
to her assistance, but both became
-unconscious froni the gas, and so re-
- rnained until disco erect on Saturday

A Correction
In last week's issue we stated. by
mistake that Cecil Day of Hoevick
was connected with a theft charge in
Police Court at Wingham. We re-
gret very much that we made this
statement as Cecil Day was in no
way connected with this case and we
take this, our first opportunity, to
correct this error which we '''verY
much regret.

KITCHENER MUSIC-
IANS ATTRACT BIG
CONGREGATIONS
Professor'A. H. Heller and Two Kit-
chener Soloists Bring Musical
• Treat to United Church
'Undaunted by weather conditions
which played havoc with the roads,
Professor A, H. Heller, F.C.A.M., and
his two colleagues, Mr. C. W. A.
Lawton, Tenor Soloist, and Mr. G.
W. Jones, Bass Soloist, kept their en-
gagement with the Triple V Bible
Class here on Sunday and provided.
a musical treat which will not soon
be • forgotten. Generous with 'their
talent they assisted at the regular
services of the church and Sunday
School and provided the greater part
of a Recital and Sacred Concert at
the close of the evening service. The
condition of the roads were so bad
between Wingham and Clinton on
Saturday that they were compelled
to go around by Goderich to get here.
Although the country roads were
almost impasable in many- places an
unusually large congregation was
-nt in the morning and the ev-
ceing attendance was almost double
the average. These splendid attend-
ances spoke very impressively of the
appreciation of the people of district
for the special services which had
been arranged for them.
• The pastor, Rev. L. H. Currie, al-
though handicapped by continuing ill
health, preached two very impressive
sermons, which alone would well have
repaid any who had made an extra
effort to be present The evening ad-
dress was specially directed to men
with a strong appeal from the Pastor
to all those of his charge to take a
greater personal interest in the wel-
fare of their fellow men and under
the leadership of Christ, strive for
higher things for mankind through
the services of the church. A feat-
ure orthe evening service was a male
chorus "Win them one by one."
• The occasion was a Sunday spec-
ially selected by the Triple V Bible
Class on which to make a contribu-
tion to the life of the Church. Im-
mediately after the evening service
Morris Christie, Chairman of • the
class mucisal committee, under whose
auspices the Kitchener guests came,
briefly addressed the •audience, ex-
pressing the thanks of the class for
the hearty co-operation accorded
them in their work from many sourc-
es, He made the necessary introduc-
tory remarks leading up to the Sac-
red Concert and also expressed the
appreciation of the class for the gen-
erous services of Mr. Geo. Smith,
who had assisted the class on many
occasions and would render a fine
number during the program to fol-
low. The Sacred Concert opened with
Rev. L.'1-1. Currie in the chair. The
regular choir excelled themselves in
an anthem splendidly rendered. Pro-
fessor A. H. Heller at the organ de-
lighted everyone with the fine music
he provided, a pleasant variety being
given by the intermingling of the
solos and duet which formed the rest
of the program. A generous silver
collection defrayed the expenses of
the class whose services were much
appreciated. •
Wm. J. Henderson's Sister Passes
Mr. W. a Henderson, John St., re-
ceived word on Friday thati his sister,
Mrs. Oswald Parson (Pearl), had

tle dry weather and wind will soon
