The -eighth anniversary of the open-
ing' of this church was held on Sun -
'day and proved to be one of the
most successful ever yet .held. The
stormy state • of the weather was
se eeehat drawback, of 'a dckbut
m b .,did
i
not materially, iliteriere with the site
cess of • the day:. Rev. Dr. Rutledge
of Winghanr preached most inspiring
sermons morning . and ..evening • and
was listened to with pleasure ' and
profit on both occasions; The rnorn-
• ing address was particularly adapted
for the • .encouragement and• inspira-
tion of those actively engaged, in
church work. "If the church does
not lead men to Christ," said Pi.
Rutledge,. "it has no excuse for be-
ing. That is what a church stands
for, and if it fails in . that et nitsses
its aim." .•
At the evening service Dr. Ruthdge
took for his text the words, ''Study
to show thyself approved unto God :
A workman that needeth riot to bo
ashamed," and his subject was . the
building ,of character. '"Chai%d er,"
Rutledge; utledge,-"is-tha,produet of
life. It is all that we will have t
show. for our life's work," and, "No
matter what you do or . fail to _ • do,
you are always working away on
yourself," Dr. Rutledge also briefly
addressed the S. S. in the afternoon.
Before the'4close of . the evening's
service a report from the trustees
was read. They' had asked for: an
offering of $500 • ore ties occasion to
Wipe oft the debt of .$300 still re-
tnaining on the church and to make a
payment on 'the shed which was er-
ected last fall. • The people respond-
ed most liberally, more than $700
being contributed. Considering the
fact that the church has lost a num-
ber of members during the year
through removals, this 'generous re-
sponce to their appeal was a very
pleasant surprise to the officials, who
arc duly grateful, to the congregation
and to the Ladies' Aid, who .:ontri-
buted a check for $100. The church
is now free of debt and in good ice
pair, and the remaining debt on the
shed will be carried easily.
The pastor will preach next Sun-
day, taking for his morning subject,
"Suffering for others" ; evening,
Last Days, the sixtli and last ser-
tnon on the Life and 'Character of
Jacob.
A meeting of the W,M.S, will .be
held in tbe Sunday school -room •on

GOOD FRIDAY'S CONCERT.
Mr. Walter McCutcheon of London,
who sings with the Manchester 'Quar
tette • at the$oys' concert in the
town hall on the evening of Good
Friday, 'is said to be ono of Canada's
greatest solo singers. The boys u,'
ually have something worth while
when they undertake the task of.
getting up an entertainment and this
will be no exception, judging from
the press notices the Quartette have
received. The 'following, is from the
News -Record of Berlin :
"The quartette work by the • Man-
ehesters _es ors was a pleasure and a reve-
lation to the large audience present,
Every number was catchy and bright.
In some numbers it was necessary for
the Quartette to respond to triple
encores.
A DOUBLE AFFLICTION.
On Thursday last there passed away
at the residence
ofhersister,Mrs.
Dodsworth, Seaforth, Muriel' S., the
ten -year-old daughter of Mr. Peter
Perdue, Just eight days earlier her
mother had been called away, and
though Muriel had not been a very roe
bust .child, she was not considered to
be in a dangerous condition' and the
end came suddenly. Death was duo to
the bursting of a blood vessel. The 're-
mains ..were brought° to Clinton . and
on Saturday afternoon were laid to
hest beside those of her mother who
was buried just one week before. .The
funeral took place from the : home of
Mrs.. Easom, a sister of the late Mrs. •
Perdue, services being . conducted by

one from Mr. and Mrs: R. A. Downs,
