A Suooses.—The entertainment, under the auspices of the Ladies' Guild of St. George's church, which came off on Thursday evening, 11th inst., was a decided success, To say that the hall NM crowded would only be putting it mild; it was literally packed. Long Wore the program was started every available foot of space was taken up, while a number failed to gain admit- tance at all. The pastor, Rev. I. M. Webb, occupied the chair, and, under the very trying circumstances, filled the position very acceptably. As, in cases of this kind, when the over- s)rowded audience are not too comfort- ably seated, it is always more difficult to keep good order, The following is the program which was given: Chair• mass address; instrumental, by Mise Dora Kinney ; recitation, Mr. 1'. Mo. Fathom ; polo. Mr. James Jones; dia. logue Cinderella; le, itation, Mise Mag. Rio McLaughlin; Bolo, Mies Aggie Telfer; drill, by nine little girls • solo, by Miss V. Cardiff; dialogue, 'taking the ensue; recitation. Mies Carrie Jackson; solo, Mr, ,Tones; darkey dialogue, The quack doctor ; recitation, Mrs. White; pantomine, Rock of Agee. The ladies certainly deserve credit for the success achieved in this es well as former entertahimeute. Though they are comparatively few in number, yet the god work they have performed during the past summer ie something Almost miraculous. The proceeds of the evening, with the box of clothing provided by the Guild, will be sent to the Indian home at Sault Ste. Marie. 1tb. nb BLYTH, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1902. No. 20. Long may they prosper in their good work. If there were any present at the entertainment who did not have the wants of the inner man supplied, it is not because there was a scarcity of provisions, but, owing to the over• crowded house, it being almost impoa• eible to pave around the eatables. OONaTANGI. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES. --The anni- versary services in connection with Constance Methodist church were held on Sunday, 14th inst. Three very able and eloquent sermons were preached by Rev. Dr. Daniel, of Goderich, to large congregations, On the following Mon- day evening a very pleasant and suc- cessful anniversary meeting was held in the church. Although the weather was not favorable, there was a good attendance, the ehurch being well filled. A splendid program was provided. Excellent addresses were delivered by Rev. Dr. Gifford, of Clinton. and Rev. 1. B. Wallwin, of Seaforth. The choir of the Seaforth Methodist church was Alm) in attendance, and delighted all by their well rendered musical selections. The proceedings throughout were emi- nently successful and gratifying to all interested. Thecongregation have their handsome church free from debt, but, during the present season, they have erected comfortable and commodious sheds for the accommodation of the horses of those from thecountry attend- ing the services, and the proceeds of this annivereary were designed to meet the outlay thus incurred, and we fancy this object has been more than attained, u the proceede of the Sunday collection and the Monday eveningentertainment amounted to a very handsome sum.

Clifford Sif ton is said by an intimate friend to have remarked in regard to the construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific railway, that if the Grand Trunk or any other company gets assistance from the government for a trans -continental line, it will be on the express condition, which will be fully guarded in legislation, that it makes the terminus a Canadian port, and that its trade is to be exported through Canediah channels, Further, that some point in the province of Quebec, on the St. Lawrence river, far enough east to be kept open all the year round, should be selected and reached by the ahortoet and most direct route.
