home for themselves, assisting their
children to start in life. Two of Mrs,

The remaining six were born in this

Much Afflicted.
The family of Joseph Churchill, of
Turnberry, bas been sorely afflicted of
late, and one of its members, after a
few days' illness has been laid in the
silent tomb. Pneumonia appears to
have been the cause, two daughters
and one son being ill at the same time.
One daughter, Frances Susanna, aged
20, .a most amiable young lady was laid
to rest in the cemetery on Saturday
last. Another daughter, Bertha, aged
17, is critically ill, and at time of writ-
ing her recovery is regarded. as doubt-
ful. A son aged 7, has also been dan-
gerously ill, but at latest accounts was
recovering, having partaken of nour-
ishment on Monday. The afflicted
family have the sincere sympathy of
their neighbors in the affliction and
bereavement that have come upon
them. We trust the dark clouds will
soon roll by, and sunshine come once
more.

form. Mr. and Mrs. Vandusen return-

Miss Macpherson's millinery parlor
was very tastily and elaborately deco-
rated with the very latest spring im-
portations of lovely laces, embroideries,
chiffons. ribbons and immense bou-
quets of elegant flowers and foliage.
On every side conld'be seen the lead-
ing novelties of the coming season.
One of the many hats shown was the
"Elite" ; shape made of black net and
satin straw embroideries, with sequin
crown and black applique drapings ;
strings of jets caught by cabochons
and velvet ribbon completed the trim-
ming. Another very dainty design
was of white goffured net and Batten -
berg lace strewn with seed pearls, fin-
ished with strings of pearls and orna-
ment. One of the newest things was
the "Santas Durban," made in dainty
chain -stretched linen an applique,with
shaded roses and foliage, while Liberty
satin ribbon caught with cabochons
heightened the pretty effect. Miss
Macpherson's display was very pretty
indeed, and she and Miss Henderson

EASTER, ER„ Sl.. R9' ICES.
The services in Wingham churches
last, Sunday had especial reference to
the important events commemorated
on Easter, the death and resurrection
of our Lord, The .churches were
brightened with floral decorations,.
among them, the beautiful Easter lily,
and the services in most cases enliven-
ed with special Easter music,
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH,
Considering the weather there was a
good attendance at the morning ser-
vice. Tho platform, and pulpit were
nicely decorated with house plants and
flowers. The subject of the pastor's
sermon was "The meaning of, and the
reasons for Easter gladness," Matt.
28 : 5--7. The storm prevented a large
attendance at the evening service, hut
many present say "it was the best of
the series."
The sixth and the last sermon on the
Pilgrims' Progress will be given Sun-
day evening. The subject is, "From
the Delectable Mountains to the Celes-
tial City." 1 Cor. 15 :26, 2 Cor. 5 : 1.

BAPTIST CHURCH.
In the Baptist church,very appropri-
ate services for the Easter season were
held. In the morning the pastor, Rev.
J. 3. Patterson, B. A. preached on the
subject -"Positive proofs of the Resur-
rection of Jeans Christ." The church
was beant;ifully decorated with plants
and the ehoir under the able leader-
ship of �Mr. Hope rendered both morn -
and evening choice Easter selections.
In the evening the inclemency of the
weather did mot prevent a large con-
gregation 11 out assembling, The pas-
tor preached on the message of the
Risen Lord as spoken to Mary in the
garden on the first Easter Day.
At the close of the evening service,
the ordinance of baptism was admin-
istered to five candidates. The work
in the Baptist church is prospering un-
der the pastoral care of Mr. Patterson.

A vision.
Christ's Resurrection was not a mere
returning of a dead man to life, (as for
.example the raising of Lazarus,) Laza-
rus when brought to life was subject
again to. the laws of sin and death. But
Christ was exempt. He bad perinan-
ently set aside the laws of sin and
death. Mortality was swallowed up
of life, The different appearances of
Christ Go his disciples after his Resur-
rection were noted. His body a blend-
ing of the spiritual and earthly.
He appeared only to leis diseiples.
No purpose could be served in showing
himself to the Jews .or his enemies. He
still manifests himself to believers.
The bearing of Christ's Resurrection
upon his work. (1) The final test of
his work. (2) The centre of his work.
The speaker also noted the bearing of
Christ's Resurrection upon our own.
What it is to know the power, and be
raised in the likeness of his Resurrec-
tion,
In the evening the subject dealt
with was Christ's petition to preserve
his disciples from worldliness based on
John 17, 15. "I pray not that thou
shouldest take them out of the world,
but that thou shouldest keep them
frotn the evil."
ST, PAUL'S CHURCH.

his morning discourse -Acts 13 ; 32-35.
The following is an outline of his ser-

tion of Jesus from the dead. That is

built and rightly, therefore we honor
the day which commemorates it, above

Canada Furniture Mfrs.
The first annual general meeting of
the shareholders of the Canada Fur-
niture Manufacturers Ltd., was held in
Toronto on Wednesday, March 27111.
Owing to the death of the president of
the company, Mr, Simon Snyder, the
chair was occupied by W. R. Hobbs, of
London, who presented the report of
the directors for the year 1001. From
this it appears that the net profits were
sufficient to meet the half -yearly divi-
dends of seven per cent. which were
paid upon the preferred stock issue of
$1,300,000, and yet leave a balance to
carry forward. The secretary, Mr. 3.
R. Shaw, made an interesting state-
ment of the development during the
year. Large additions were made to
factories and increased facilities added,
To prevent possible loss by fire, the
company's factories have all lately
been carefully inspected and egttipped
with improved fire protective applian-
ces. The insurance carried is in the
neighborhood of $1,000,000. Touching
reference was made to the death of Mr,
Snyder, who, having been largely re-
sponsible for the organization of the
company and having called the meet-
ing was by the inscrutable decree of
Province not permitted to meet the di-
rectors at the first annual meeting.
The following directors were then
elected: -Messrs. Robert X ilgour, Tor-
onto ;
or -onto; W. R. Hobbs, London; Thomas
Bell, Wingham ; J. S. Anthea, Berlin;
J. R. Shaw, Toronto; E. F. Zoellner,
Mount Forest; R. Harmer, John
Firstbrooke, and A. Hutchison, Tor-
onto. At a subsequent meeting of the
directors Robert ICilgour was elected
President; W. R. Hobbs, vice -pros.,
and J. R. Shaw, secretary -treasurer,
re-elected. It was pointed out during
the meeting that the business done
during the year just pest by the unit-
ed companies was greater than the
aggregate business of the individual
companies the year before, both in
sales and orders.

and all the latest novelties. The pret-
tily dressed windows attracted consid-
erable attention. Among the many
pretty designs exhibited was a large
picture hat, The shape is faced with
pink crepe-de-chene, the folds being
put on in spiral form ; a black velvet
haudeau extends from the left entirely
around the erown, with the upper
brim of sequin turd Irish lace. Four
plumes end a large black velvet bow
complele the trimming, A very hand-
some model in twhite shows the new
effect in tucking. The brim is faced
with rosettes centertal with pearl ca-
bochons and the crown is untde of silk
hair braid. It was teimuced at the
back with grapes and long chiffon
ties. A pretty design in black was it
small, colonial shape made of chrysan-
themum braid. A pontepoun of os-
trich bearing a full spray of egrets
was fastened to the brim by a large jet
brooch. Mrs. Green and her milliner,
Miss Crosby, have reason to feel pleas-
ed at the success of their spring open-
