Crawford Tait officiating The bride who was given away by her father war becoiningly attired in a white straight lined accordeon pleated geor- gette gown and carried pink Ophelia roses, Miss Verna Gate, sister of the groom acted as bridesmaid, wearing a gown of smoke -gray canton crepe and carried white carnatiotis.

Nicholson aunt of the bride sang "My World", while the register was Liding signed. , The groom's gift t� the bride was a rope of pearls, to the bridesmaid, organist and soloist, a bar pin, to the groomsman, a tie pin set with pearls.

The presents were nurnerotie and beatitifal, showing the high ee- teem iti which the young erettOe are. held, The happy couple left on the after noon trAili, for Stratford and Londee. • EVANGELISTIC SERVICES The privilege that the people of Wingham ancl vicinity have this week and next of hearing the Rev. Newton Jones is a rare one indeed. Mr. Jones came with a great reputation from England to Canada and in. the •short time he has been in this coun- try he has gained a great and well merited fame as a preacher and evan- gelist. It was owing to Mr, Cragg's pronapt action that his services were secured for Wingham at all and such an opportunity as we have now is not likely to come more than once in a life -time. Every discourse he has de- livered so far has shown him to be a man who combines in hiinself a wonderful degree nearly all the great cowers that are usually found only singly in most great preachers and evangelists. The writer has heard many of the great evangelists and considers that Mr. • Jones equals many of them and surpasses some of them in their own strong points, Moody in knowledge of seripture and rower of exposition and illustration, Munhall in fluency and eloquence, Sari Jones in power of appeal and eathoe, Torrey in vigor and earnest- ness and in addition to all this he shows a joy and enthusiasm in his work that is quite unique. One hesi- tates to add more but in justice to him one thing more must be said. He s:ngs the gospel with little less power and clearness than he preaches it. While his voice is not so strong as that of many gospel singers, there's a sweetness and expression in hie singing- that stirs the heart and pow- erfully re -enforces his preaching. Those who hear him once will not wish to miss any of his Bible readings or sermons. • Every afternoon this week at e.30 except Friday'and. Satue- day he gives a Bible reading, and next week at the same hoar and on the same days, chalk charts, specially for children but open to all. Every evening -except Saturday at 8 o'clock this week and. next he con- ducts an evangelistic service. These meetings are being largely attendee, very great interest is being manifest- ed and we believe much good has al- read.y been accomplished, -:-Contributed ST. -PATRICK'S SOCIAL A very enjoyable time was spent at St. Andrew's -Church on Monday evening, Mar 17, the occasion being St. Patrick's Social. • A good pro- gram was presented by the following -taking part: Addresses by Dr. Perrie, Mayor Willis and Principal Brack- enbury. Solos by Miss McKay, Master jack Carr, Mrs. Rae, Miss Garness and Miss MacLean, readings by Mrs. Clegg, Mrs. Vanstone and Mrs. VanWyck, instrumenal Duette by Misses Mary and Celestia Carr, Misses Mitchell and Williamson. The High School Glee Club gave two ,se- lections, which were much enjoyed. A Pantomine entitled "Rock of Ages" Miss Rintoul and Miss Erskine, Miss Rintoul posing and Miss Erskine sing- ing the solo, scarf drill by Janet Mc- Lean, Bertha McGee, Kathleen Reid, Mary Mitchell, Nancy Taylor, Mari- on Simpson, Margaret Carrie, Mary Carr, dialogue by Jack Carr, Norman Rintoul, Harold Mitchell, Bertha Mc- Gee, Nancy Taylor,' Parmella Hanna, Mary Robertson. Special' thanks to Mrs, Mitchell who prepared the drill and Mr. Posliff for the dialogue. The LUBRICATION OF AUTOS The fact that a man who is thor- oughly conversant with his subject can give a moat interesting address was ,exemplified at the Lion's Club Luncheoa in the Brunswick Cafe on Friday evening, when T. R. Bennett, who was invited to address the mem- bers, chose the subject "Lubrication of Automobiles." Just now, as the auto season is about to open and most ef the Lions have autos, the subject wae made doubly interesting, as it was most timely. Mr. Bennett spoke in part as follows: "The duty of a lubricant is to re- duce friction and consequent wear by preventing direct contact of metal against metal, unless a cushion of oil separates moving metal surfaces from one another. Where heating and freezing or binding occurs, no matter how well the bearings are constructed it pays to use the best oil of the right character for the part which is to be lubricated. The proper oil for the engine depends greatly on the system of oiling employed The different systems are. the pressure system not much in use now, the splash and cir- culation system as used in most small car engines and the pump or force system used on larger cars. The splash system requires a light oil which will freely atomize to pene- trate the bearings yet have lasting power or stability. The best way to know the peeper oil. to use is to find out from the ,o11- mg chart furnished. by a garage man or. oil dealer, who handles the best and pay the slightly extra price. The better the oil the less carbon aad the sweeter the engine will run. For engmes of larger cars using the pump system a heavier oil is used. For the transmission of a Ford the same oil is used as for the engine and for the larger cars a semi -fluid gear oil, the same as in the differential. This oil must not be heavy enough for the .gears to only cut a track through, but must follow and keep mixing. For the roller and ball bear- ings a mixture of cup grease and flake graphite is used by filling the hub caps and grease cups when required. • The oil level should be examined every day. Get the habit. The im- portance of using good oil which will properly eeal the pistons and cylin- ders of an engine nay be seen when we think of the,work done in an au- tomobile engine. • The four pistons start at the top of cylinder and in 1 -125th of a second gain a speed of about the sarne rate as the car is travelling until they reach the • bottom of the cylinder wheee they slow up, stop and returnm repeating this almost 50 ties a sec-. ond. The importance of frequently renewing the oil used in the engine of any car should be more generally realized. Read up and follow the in- structions received with your car and don't depend alone on what some one tells • you, who • may not know all about it. Married In Centralia A quiet wedding was solemnized on Tuesday, Mar. 18 at 4.3o p. re. in Centralia Methodist Church, when Miss Mabel E., youngest daughter of Mr. Win, R. Elliott; Centralia Ont., became the bride of Arley K. Cope- land, , son cef 'Mrs. M. E. Copeland, Wingham, Ont. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A.
