HARVEST THANKSGIVING. The most successful Harveet Thanks giving Festival in recent years was celebrated in St. Paul's Church on Sunday and Monday. A former rector, Rev. William Lowe, was the special preacher and his sermons were powerful and inspiring. Special music WM given by the choir. The anthems were well chosen and the parts blend- ed beautifully. In the evening, Mrs. J. 0. Smith sang "I Will Extol Thee," a very lovely solo from "For Christ and the Church," and Miss Alice Mann whose solos are always so acceptable sang "After the Harvest." The congregations were very large and entered with enthusiasm into the spirit of the service. In the evening the capacity of the church was taxed, At the morning service the text of the sermon was St, Luke 17 : 17, 19. Speaking of the cleansing of the ten lepers, the preacher said. that sin makes all mankind one, These lepers comprised both Jews and Samaritans, but they forgot their enmity in their anxiety to be healed. The command, "Go show yourselves uhto the priests," was a test of faith, and also a test of gratitude. Then applying this in- cident to the Harvest Festival, he said that thanksgiving was thanks -living, "by giving up ourselves to Thy service and by walking before Thee." The evening text was St. Matt, 13 : 3—"Behold, a sower went forth to sow." Change is all around us, in ourselves, our homes, and our friends, and in the very globe itself. Know- ledge is increased and great inventions have been made. But nothing has been found to take the place of the corn -field. Seed time and harvest form a link between the present and the past. Recall the sowing of seed in a godly home, watered perhaps by the tears of a mother. Recall the sowing of seed by the exhortations from the pulpit and the lives of holy men, So the heavenly Sower goes forth to sow. We are reminded of the great harvest of the world, the Resurrection. As the seed is put into the ground for the harvest, so the body of humiliation is prepared for a glorious resurrection. The harvest is the end of the year and the judgment is the end of time, when the angels are the reapers. The har- vest is a time or reckoning. It tells how the previous months have been spent. So the Great Harvest will tell how we spent our time. The reapiug is complete, for no one will be for- gotten. Lastly, it is a time of separa- tion of the good from the bad. Mention must also be made of the beautiful and 'artistic decoraitions of flowers, leaves and fruit which add to the beauty of the services. The annual supper was served in the school -room on Monday evening and many partook of the dainties provided by the ladies. After the supper an adjournment was made to Mills Memorial Hall where rai excel- lent program, which had bee arrang- ed by Miss Griffin and Mr. Willis, was given. Rev. Mr. Groly, the pastor, was the efficient chairman. Mrs. Willis, Miss Griffin and Miss Mann contributed solos in their usual plea,- ing manner. Messrs. Cline, Hill Bed Willis delighted the audience vs ill their solos, and the double male quar- tette sang some pleasing selections. Addresses were given by Capt. Pug - mire and Lieut. Ward of the Salva- tion Army, Rev. D. Perrie, Rev. Dr. Rutledge, and Rev. Wm. Lowe and were thoroughly enjoYed. The receipts of the Thank -offering and supper amounted to about $200. 1.1.41 ft CELERY AND ONIONS. We offer celery roots on, suitable for winter storage at three dollars per 100 to be delivered the last week of October.

A dite ressingly sad accident hap- pened ita East Wawanosh on Monday afternoon last, The threshing ma- chine was at work at Mr. Naylor's, ar 4 Wm. Naylor was standing at the r of the machine, directing the olower. He was standing on the board over the revolving knives that cut the straw, whenethe board broke or slipped, letting one of his feet down on to the knives. Before the machine could bOtopped his left foot was terribly thangled. Dr. Kennedy was speedily called, an auto secured. and the young\T.an wa". brought to the hospital as 'quickly as possible. It was found. that one half of the foot bad been left in the machine, and there was no alternative, but to am- putate the foot above the ankle, which was done at once by Dr. Kennedy, At last accounts, Mr, Naylor is doing as well as could be expected, but for the rest of life, he will be sadly handi- capped by the loss of a foot. The accident is a sad one, especially for a young man engaged in agricultural pumas, Presentation. One evening recently, members of Holmes Union Sabbath School were treated to an "At Home" at the resi- dence of Mr. Linklater, Superinten- dent of School. The evening was spent with music, singing and social conversation, after which refresh- ments were served. The main feature of the evening was the presentation to Mrs. Robert Dickson of a case of silver, prior to her leaving for British Columbia. The pleasant eyening was brought to a close by tendering Mr, and Mrs. Linklater thanks for their hospitality. The following is the ad- dress :-- To Mrs. Robert Dickson and family; As you are about to sever your con- nection with us to join your husband and daughter in the. West, we wish to thank you symprahlzingly for the earnest and untiring efforts you have shown in the interests of the Sabbath Sehool, where you always expressed yourself as a willing helper. It is not out intention to repay you for yonr labor; we will leave all to the Divine Master to reckon yopr talents. put AS a mon:lento, we Mit you to eetept this trifling gift in sweet renaernbtinee of your Sabbath School, We all join in wishing you a safe journey and prosperity through life, and wish to be remembered to Mr. Dickson and daughter Edna, We now bid you a, kind good-bye, and if we meet no more ortsearth, we trust We will meet In heaven.

A Mother Deceased, Trouble has been piling up lately in the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Mar- shall of town. On Wednesday of last week Mrs. Marshall's mother, Mrs. James Cooper, died in Seaforth, aged 47, Deceased was born in Clonis, Ireland, and came to Canada in 1881; she resided in Brussels until seven years ago, She was a member of the Anglican Church. Besides her partner in life, she leaves two eons and five daughters. Mrs. Marshall was ill with appendicitis and. was unable to attend the funeral. It is only a few months since Mrs. Marshall lost a sister. We trust that the clouds of trouble will soon pass, and the sky of life become clear again. Congratulations Telegraphed. The following message was sent to Alex, Morrison, M. P. elect of Mac- donald, Man., on the occasion of his victory on Saturday last, by the Con- servative Association of Wingham :— To Alex. Morrison M. P. Heartiest congratulations from the Conservative Association of Wing - ham, Ontario, on your magnificent victory for Borden and clean, fearless and progressive government. Your constituents have again said, with no uncertain sound, that Canada will continue to work out her own destiny, and decidedly objects to becoming an adjunct. W. F. VanStone J. W, McKibbon President Secretary A Wonderful Thresher. The Lindsay Warder says — A threshing machine which is without parallel, is now completed by Mr, Richard Sylvester of this town, and it is claimed by the manufacturer that the invention will undoubtedly re- volutioniee the threshing bosiness. It is called the auto -thresher and com- bines many mechanical ideas. The machine moves through the field pro- pelled by its own power, and as it moves it works, The only operators required are four men, who easily work the ,machine. A stook lifter, placed. in front of the thresher, elevates the sheaves to two men who stand upon a table and with forks feed it to the hungry cylinder, which devours the grain with greater rapidity than, any other machine over made.It is the greatest in the world, and anthresh at least fifty acres of grain a day, making a saving in labor of eight teams and foneteen men. Its execution simply was marvellous. A bagger attached receives the grain front an elevator, clean and ready for market. A waggon is attaehed to the thresher, wherein the tied sacks of grain are plated, On this becoming loaded, an auxiliary team is itt readi nese, to take the grain away, and thus the work proceeds. On the closing the threshing season, the auto -thresh er is so constructed that certain part tan be removed and the engine can be used for ploughing, or other farm i Work. f - a Rowe, and his gratuldanghter Miss 'Laura Raby of Acton were present at the funeral. The service was conclutt. ed by Bev. Dr. Rutledge. modftroftem' I u 1 October Wedding. A quiet but pretty wedding was solemnized on Wednesday, October 9th, at the home of Mr. Henry Wheel- er, when his second daughter Martha became the bride of William M. Reid of Wingham. The house was prettily decorated with flowers and ferns. The ceremony was conducted by the Rev. ft E. Croly. At twelve o'clock the young couple entered the parlor to the strains of the wedding march played by Mrs. William Wright, sister of the bride, with Bessie Wright, niece of the bride, acting as flower girl. The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a dress of swiss embroidery, and carried a boquet of white asters and fern. After the ceremony all repaired to the dining -room, where a dainty luncheon was served. The bride travelled in a suit of grey, with black beaver hat. They were driven to the 0. P. R, station in Mr. D. Bell's auto„ and left for Toronto amid showers of rice, followed by the best wishes of their many friends. Pormer Resident Deceased.

Expression Of Esteem. At a meeting of the Session of Eadies' Church on October 6th, on motion of Mr. Aitken, seconded by Mr. Grey, it was resolved—that we as a session, representing the congrega- tion of Eadies' Church, express our appreciation of the services rendered by Mr. Francis Lewis and Mr. Frank Lewis, who have been associated with us in the Master's work in this part of his moral vineyard, and who are about to remove from the bounds of the congregation to Wingham. We re- gret their departure from our midst and will not soon forget their wise counsel and helpfulness as members of session. We would make special mention of the splendid work done by Mr. Francis Lewis as superintendent of the Sabbath School and teacher of the Bible Class and hope that much good may result from his untiring efforts. We trust that both Mr, Francis Lewis and Mr. Frank Lewis may be long spared to do work for the Master in the place to which they have removed, and that the blessing of the head of the church may be up- on them.
