Presby terian Girl Gu ides.—S ince
the organization of the Girl Guide
Movement, in First Presbyterian
church, December, 1919, the Guides
have been quietly but effectively
working according to the code and
constitution of their organization.
The Girl Guides, the sister organiza-
tion to the Boy Scouts, has, like the
latter, for its objective the threefold
developMent of its members. Classee
in physical culture, sewing, first aid,
etc., are all within the , scope of this
movement while the "Good Deed" of
Boy Scout fame has the most im-
portant place in the Guides' life. Last
year this organization, with Miss
Verna Graves as captain, did excep-
tionally good work. They dr -ted
$10 to the Armenian Fund and 10.60
to the Chinese Famine Fund. Thin
year Mrs. Brodie was appointed cap-
tain and the work has, been carried
on under her supervision. The
Guides have sent forty boxes of candy
to sick people and ahutins, and have
given $3.00 to the Chinese Fund.
On Saturday afternoon next, March
18th, the Guides intend having a
tea at the home of Mrs. A. D. Suth-
erland, when it is hoped they will
receive the liberal patronage which
the movement merits.

Severe Storm.—One of the severest
electric storms to visit Seaforth in
some years occurred shortly titter
seven o'clock on Tuesday evening.
Fortunately the storm did not last
long but the lightning was very vivid
and continuous while it did last.
Miring the height of the storm the
bell tower on St. Thorriaa' church was
struck, and badly damaged. The
congregation was assembling for the
mission service being 'held and the
sexton, Mr. Deem, had his hand on
the bell rope in the act of ringing the
bell, when the bolt struck. The -cur-
rent pained down the timbers, knock-
ing the plaster off the walls and
burning out the electric lights, and
the escape of Mx. Deem seems al-
most miraculous as he was entirely
unhurt. No great damage was done
to the interior of the church and
fortunately fire did not break out. It
was a close shave for many of the
residents in the vicinity who receiv-
ed a bad shaking up. A chimney on
the -Queen's' Hotel was also shuttered
during the storm. The lights went
out all over town, and several trans-
formers were -temporarily out of
commission.

at $2,000 and there will be tome in-
surance. The wing destroyed was

most of the machinery in it. Defec-

ple last Friday when the choir, with
some of their friends, were entertain-
ed to an oyster supper at the parson-
age. Rev. E. Roulaton knows how to
give the young people a good time.
An interesting feature of the_ evening
was the presentation of a signet ring
from the members of the choir to Mr.
F. Stagg, who is leaving for the west.
Frank made a suitable reply, thanking
the choir for their kindness to him.
—On Easter Monday, Rev. Knight will
give his recital on "Jean Val Jean,"

be a rare treat. He gave it in the
Central Methodist church, Stratford,
eoently, and was heartily received.

ber of their friends last Wednesday
