Jones, preached from the text 1 Corinthians 15: 20, "Now is Christ risen from the dead and become the first -fruits of them that slept," depicting the first Easter Day and giving a most com- forting and inspiring message for all.

Township, namely, Ford- wich, Gorrie, Wroxeter and Belmore. The meeting -place is in Gorrie Lib- rary and all interested citizens are cordially invited to attend to hear. library matters discussed. • This gathering is called. primarily in the hope of forming a unit or group of the four township library boards. The federated boards will functiort as formerly, but will get to- gether in the purchase of books suit- able for the reading public. After a fixed time weare informed, the plan is to interchange volumes. The ro- tation of books continues until all the books have gone the round. It is expected that the neworgani- zation if duly formed, will increase the buying.power of each library and procure many additional books for members. The life -blood of any lib- rary is new books, and of late' the' village boards have been fiding it dif- ficult to get as many book as desir- able. Grants have been sadly reduced or cut off, hence the necessity for a new system. "In union there is strength" is an old slogan, and in the formation of thisnew federation may the How - ick libraries meet success. .The plan has already proved successful in oth- er parts of the 'preyince.

And then the An- gel told the Shepherds to go to'that Stable, and look at that little Child in the Manger, which they did; and, they kneeled down by it in its sleep, and said, "God, bless this Child!" Now the great place of all that country was Jerusalem — just as • London is the great place in England — and at Jerusalem the King lived, whose name was King Herod. Some wise men came one day, from a coun- try a long way off in the East, and, said to the King, "We have seen a Star in the Sky, which teaches us to know that a Child is born in Bethle- hem who will live to be a Man whom all people will lova" When King, Herod heard this, he was jealous, for he was a wicked man. But he pretend- ed not to be, and said to the wise men, "Whereabouts is this Child?" And the 'wise men said, "We don't know. But we think the Star will Mrs. Neil 'White is at present visit- ing her daughter, Mrs. Pleasance, at Port Elgin.

This was.. very wonderful, but God ordered it to be so. When the Star stopped, the', wise men went in, and saw the •Child with Mary, His Mother. They loved Him very much ,and gave Him some pre- sents. Then they went away. But they did not go back to King Herod;. for Joseph or Mary in the Inn or in any house; so they went into a Stable to lodge, and in this • Stable Jesus Christ was born. There was no cradle or anything of that kind there, so hide them in caves and cellars, but Mary laid her pretty little boy in what it was of no use.
