WINGHAM, ONT., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1912.
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.

Lamentab'e Accident.
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 :--

nection with us to join your husband

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

servative Association of Wingham :—

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.

-
a Rowe, and his gratuldanghter Miss
'Laura Raby of Acton were present at
the funeral. The service was conclutt.

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,

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. Signed W. J. West, Clerk,
Thos. Arthur, Joseph Grey, Elders.
