ST. PA:1114'S PROSPERING.
The services at St. Paul's church on
Easter bay were. more than usually.
interesting and bright. Notwith-
standing the unfavorable character . of
the weather, especially in the even-
ing, there were large congregations
present at all the four services: The
rector preached appropriate sermons
in his,itsual manner, the molting dis-
course being based upon 'St. Matthew
8-6 and the evening one on Isaiah 26-
19. The music, under the direction of
IVIr. Latornell. was especially well ren-
dered • and reflects great credit alike
upon.. the choir and its leader. The
-sadiron, in, the mornieg, " Awake thou
that. :deepest," Was very good indeed
'while .the aria from " Hamlet's 1VIes..•
Male' rendered at evensong was excel- •
lently sung by Miss„ Maud McNaugh-
ton, The offertories anionnted to
about$95o the actual cash upon the
plate' on gunday being F8xx.45 which
Was augmented by other stuns which
came in on Monday and by promises
of 'nearly $foo to be paid within the
next two month. The whole amount
will aggregate about $950f the largest
contribution at ellY one tittle for lnanY
years. The limber of coznintinicelits
was tit, The Congregations, espec-,
laity in the morning, were large,
while the hearty serviees, the artistic
decorations and the common interest
shown by all members mark this Ras-
ter as the best that the church. has
knoveit for Many a long year.
The vestry meeting. at St. Paul's
church wits fairly well attended. The
tector, the Rev. Mr, Gentle, presided,
-
The report of the wardens was the
most satisfactory that the vestry has
been privileged to listen to for some
years. The receipts for the year were
$2352,0, including the sum of $256
front the Ladies' Guild ; the expendi-
tures were $2x1/.6o, leaving a balance
to credit side at the bank of $250.50.
This balance, 'together with other
,sums immediately payable .• and no
doubt available, will reduce the float-
ing debt to some km. This is a very
satisfactory showing and speaks Well
for the interest manifested in the
church work during the past year.
The warden ,s Mr. W. Q. Phillips and
Mr, C, C. Ranee, were re-elected and
the names of Messrs,. W. Ilattenbuiy
and W. Solinston were added to the
list of sidesmen of last year, Ali of
last year's sidemen being re -appoint-
ed, except Mr. R, Archibald, who is
in Toronto most a the year, The
vestry then adjourned to meet again
in two weeks for the receiving of the
auditors' report, appointment of Iay-
delegates to Synod and other busi-
ness, In the mealtime the finance
cominitto wilt meet to eXamitie the
finaitcial conditiOri oI matters pertain-
ing to the dint& and will report at
the adjourned meeting. Messrs. Brew-
er and Latornell are the auditors for
the ensuing year.
This gratifying state of affairs is
largely due to the zeal and ability of
the rector, Rev. C. M.. "Ginnie, M. A.,
who has worked wonders during the
short year that he has been itt charge
of this parish. Both rector and peop-
le are to be congratulated upon the
present prosperous and happy condi-
tion of St. Paul%

WIDE AWAKE WEL It
While on his rounds at four o'clock
laSt Friday morning Watchman Welsh
came across a stranger who carried a
bundle and was going northward. As
was his duty, 1VIr. Welsh questioned
the man 'and receiving no satisfactory
answer, but instead abusive language,
he arrested hint and placed him in the
lockup where he remained until about
the middle of the forenoon when ad-
mitting that his name was Hornby
and that he had left the House of
Refuge without leave, Mr. Welsh took
hint back to that institution. Horn-
by came froin Grey and was heading
for his old haunts. That same night
Mr. J. W. Elliott reported to Mr.
Welsh that a robe had been lost from
one of his rigs which was brought in
at midnight. Mr. Welsh kept on the
lookout and found the robe befOre
morning.
P./XTENSIVZ ADVERTISERS,
The Canadian Printer and Pliblisher
for Marcli. contains the following par-
agraph whieh will no doubt be of ite-
terest to iota' merchants : I am in-
formed that the two big departmental
stores in Toronto, namely Eaton's
and Simpson's'are going in for spring
catalogues farbeyond What their prev-
ious ones have beett. Por instance,
they are going in extensively for col-
ored illustrations so as to illustrate
fabrics of all kinds, including 'carpets,
etc. This is intended to scoop in as
much trade from the town merchant
AS possible and if what X hear of the
tatalogne IS, true, it would not sur-
prise me if mole business than ell0
were brought into the city. My
vice to advertising managers in 'town
and country offices is to warn lite
merchants iii their own towns of the
towing competition and get them to
go in for rrAore home advertising than
they have previously dortetu
