Presbyterian Service.—On Friday,
June Ilth, the W.M.S. of Carmel Pres-
byterian Church, held their annivers-
ary birthday party in the basement of
the church, which was beautifully
decorated for the occasion. Mrs.
Arnold, the president, occupied the
chair. The Scripture reading was
given by Mrs. Mustard after which
MTs. Cameron led in prayer. Mrs.
James Bonthron sang a very pleasing
solo; an instrumental was given by
Miss Rosa Moir, a summary of the
work of the W.M.S. for the last year
was read by Mrs. R. Y. MacLaren,
which was followed by a duet by Mrs.
W. A. MacLaren and Miss Jessie
Park. Mrs. Cameron, who had been
invited from Exeter then gave a very
interesting and instructive talk on
church work. A dainty lunch was
then served at twelve tables, each one
representing a month of the year.
Mrs. Reid and Mrs. Robert MacLaren
poured tea. A very pleasant social
hour followed.
—Another improvement has been
added to the many which the Pres-
byterians have made to their church,
namely, a fine stone bearing the name
of the church has been placed above
the entrance. The Managers were
very pleasantly surprised after pay-
ing for the stone to have the purchase
money returned to them with the as-
surance that the stone and the work
of preparing it was a gift to Carmel
Presbyterian Church. It is only a
short time since a fine communion
table was donated in a similar way.
These donations are greatly appreci-
ated, not only for their pecuniary val-
ue, but for the fine spirit which
prompts them and for the encot>,rage-
ment and inspiration to further work.
The services on Sabbath last were
taken by Rev. Mr. Murdoch, of To-
ronto, on Sabbath next will be at the
usual time, 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.; Sab-
bath school and Bible Class, 10 a.m.
The Late liars. Sparks.—We made
mention in last week's iseue of the
death of the late Mrs. Alexander
Sparks, and the following particulars
respecting her life will no doubt be
of interest to her many relatives and
friends. The deceased whose maiden
name was Catherine Douglas, was s
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Peter Douglas, of Blake, and on the
5th day of December, 1886, was mar-
ried to Mr. Alexander Sparks, who
sill -wives her, together with one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Norman Eyree, of Speers,
Sask., and three sons, namely, Leon-
ard of Dodsland, Sask.; Neil Douglas,
of Detroit, and Archie Irvine, Lately
of Tggonto, but more recently at
home. Mrs. Sparks has been a won-
derfully strong and motive woman
with a fine fund of health right up to
the time she suffered a paralytic
stroke, a little over eight: weeks ago,
when it was hoped that will good
medical skill and nursing, she would
soon regain 'her accustomed health

ed by a splendid supper on the lawn very peacefully on the 8th day of
+d then a fine musical and literary June. She was interred in the fiam-
)ogramme with the band in attend- ily plot at Bayfield on the following
Friday afternoon. The funeral ser-
vice was conducted at the home by
Rev. A. Sinclair, who had visited the
deceased very frequently and who was
able to bear vary fine testimony to
the excellent life she lived, and how
uncomplainingly and patiently she
bore her illness, and the great inter-
est she always felt in the United
church, her faithful attendance, not
only at the regular church cervices,
but also at the Women's Missionary
Society, of which she was an honored
member, and her willingness to help
and support every good cause. The
funeral service was most largely at-
tended both from the village, sur-
rounding district and also from the
neighboring villages and towns, a
great many coming from the neigh -
the bays' ball game to -night in Mr. borhood of Blake and Bayfield, where
R. J. Cooper% field, When Hensel' the family were so well known and

these Dr. Shellac and wife and Mrs.

family, a wreath from the brothers
and sisters, spray from the Women's
Missionary Society; wreath and spray
both from the Dodge Bros. Co., of
Detroit, with which firm Mr. Neil D.
Sparks holds a good office position;
spray from family of Mrs. James Mc-
Donald, of Detroit, and great respect
and sympathy feit. Mrs. Sparks was
certainly an ideal wife and mother n.
every sense of the term, being a wo-
man of sterling qualities and whose
greatest and first love and concern
was for hushand and family, and the
grief they felt in her death fully bore
testimony- to her fine life and also
the grief her daughter-in-law, Mrs.
Neil Spades felt, who had been in
constant attendance on MTS. Sparks
for over ,six weeks, and in whom she
could not have felt more filtered had
she been her own mother, while the
bereaved huebsnd, Mr. Sparks, never
left the home during all liar fitness,
and her two some were with her all
that' possibly could. The pallbearers
were sli re}atdvvee and were George
Douglas, of Herrall; John Manson, sf
Blake William nkitiglas, ol Bruceneld;
David Tough, of Brweefield; Dr. Shel-
lac, of Detroit, and Alex. Sparka, of
Seaforth. Very znch sympathy is
felt for the lieretiVad family.

fered a heart, attack. She is survived

Sunday last were pretty well attend-
ed and good sermons delivered. At
the morning service in the United
Church, after opening and closing ser-
vices by the pastor, Rev. A. Sinclair,
Mr. Connor, of Toronto, as one of the
representatives of the Prohibition Or-
ganization, gave a most earnest a>P l
rousing addreea on the liquor ques-
tion, reviewing the activities of many
past years, the successes and revers-
es that the great cause of temper-
ance end .its workers had suffered,
what very large mnajoritiea had been
recorded for the overthrow of the
blighting traffic and how an in nearly
every good cause, they had suffered
many injusticies and how, many
statesmen and government had with-
held from the" workers and voters the
full measure of support that the vote
and good cause warranted. He also
painted out how there had been too
much apathy of the workers and sup-
porters for the overthrow of the traf-
fic, and while much had been accomp-
lished and won, that at the present
time it was more needful than ever
for the friends of temperance to use
and exert every ounce of energy they
had, so that instead of any.retrograde
movement there would be advance-
ment along the lines,and that a
united effort would be made for world
prohibition, as only in that way could.

stacles to the working of the present
system, good as it was in many ways;

appeal for the -eaten to work and

interest]nt of the individual, the home
and country. A liberal contribution
was taken up for the cause at the
