H. Robarts, of Mitchell. For several years Mr. •Evans was with Mr. and Mrs. David Christie and was so • appreciated by them that at the close of the .service a most delightful and sumptuous wed- ding supper was served in their home. It was attended by many of his friends with whom he had been associated while in our Midst. The bride was charmingly gowned in cream satin 'with bridal veil and entered the room upon the arm of Mr. David Chris- tie to the beautiful strains of music by Mrs. William Balfour, who pre- sided at- the organ. Mrs. Evans ar- rived at St. John's on December 19th, three days overdue owing to the sev- ere storms and fogs during the voy- age. The happy couple left for To- ronto and points east on the day fol- lowing the ceremony and on their re- turn they will reside in Windsor, where their' many friends in this neighborhood wish them happiness and prosperity. VARNA Address and Presentation. -The fol- lowing was presented to Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Johnston before leaving Varna for Lucan: Dear Mr. and Mrs. Johnston: -As you are about to leave us for a new field of labor, we, as a congregation, would „like to express our appreciation of your faithful ser- vices to us. You Mr. Johnston -as our pastor, so faithfully and lovingly, pointed us to Jesus, the Lamb of God that taktth away the -sin of the world, and your daily life was a living ex- ample to uswe will never forget. And Mrs. Johnston, we will ,initis you too, your voite in the service of „song,. your teaching in the Sunday school, your wise leadership in the W. S. and Mission Band,and your hospitality at the Manse was always open and everybody Made welcOme. We 'will also miss the -young .people of the Manse, who have Own up here, and we have learned to love. We are sure time will never efface from our mem- ory your nine years of pastorate here, and we ask you to accept this purse as a token of our love and esteem, and we pray that our loving Father will bless you both in T your new field of labor and that you may -win many souls for the Master. Sign- ed on behalf of the congregation -J. 'T. MeAsh, M. McNaughton, John E. Sparrow. Before Mr. and Mrs. John- ston left Varna for Lucan Mrs. Johns- ton was presented --cOith silver tea- spoons from the members of her Sun- day school class; Carl, cuff links from /48 teacher and class mates, and Mar- garet beauty pins from the little girls e the Sunday school. The Strota...r The United States Census Bureau -has taken the trouble to enquire into the subject of longevity. and has ,reached the conclusion that the age of 106 is possible for a human be- ing, but that no man or woman has ever seen his or her 107th birthday, all stories to the contrary notwith- standing. In point of longevity women are - far ahead of men, generally speaking. They are more resistant to diseases and they live longer. Out of 1,000 girls born into .the world, 750 live to reach the, mar- riageable age of 18. Out of 1,000 boys, only .700 survive that long - an excess of 50 male deaths. Of the boys, 250 will live to be 69 years old, but 250 of the girls will safely pass their 72nd birthday. Five boys (nearly) die_ for every four girls in the first month of life. Out of 1,000 males born during the past year, half will be dead in 1971. Out of 1,000 female babies born in 1918, half will be living in 1976. And yet women are called the "weaker sex." So they are, muscu- larly, but it is Manifest that they are the stronger sex constitutionally. They possess what biologists term greater "via,bility"-a superior abil- ity to survive. Why nature so arranges matters is beyond explaining. Apparently she tries to ma,ke up for it to some extent by bringing into the world 1,013 boy babies to every 1,000 girl babies. tut it is not enough. So much more hardy are the girl babies that they axe actually a majority before the second year of life is reached. The Lucky Horseshoe. The superstitious use of horse- shoes as emblems of good luck origin- , ated about the middle of the seven- cteenth century. They were at first deemed a protection against witches and evil spirits, and were nailed on doors of houses with the curie upper- most. It was the belief that no witcja or evil spirit could enter a house th guarded. The custom of nailing\ horseshoes to ships and other sailing craft is still in vogue in many Eng- lish-speaking countries. To find a horse shoe witb an odd number of nails attached to it is considered the forerunner of good luck, and the more nails the greater the good for- tune that. is likely to attend the ander. year round Sor the population of the /Oahe.
