As the scoring indicates the game was a see-saw affair with the Hen­ sall team just one jump ahead, and it was anybody’s ball game till Ven- ner whiffed the last Zurich batter, leaving their tying run stranded at second. Venner and Bedard were I the opposing hurlers and Venner pitched a real game for the winners while Bedard also turned in a credit­ able performance, both pitchers hav­ ing quite a number of strike-outs to his credit. The game, although very even, was not without errors, but as these were fairly well divided it 'made the battle more interesting and exciting and near the last had every real fan on his toes for no one was sure which way the game would go. Chas. “Tupper’’ Anderson, of Exeter, umpired at the plate, while Ben Milliken, of Zurich,, looked af­ ter the bases and both gave entire satisfaction.

EHLERS Mrs. Augusta Weber, wife of Mr. Henry Ehlers, of Dashwood, Ontario, died at .her,.home'-at 5.45 o’clock, Thursday., October 6th, 1927. She was 'born in .1859 ,on the 19th of February. In .1878 she was mar­ ried to Mr. Henry EhlCrs, of Stephen Township. “ union. “ . H. Ehlers, minister and young men’s christion association secretary at In­ dianapolis, Ind.; John Edmond and Wilbur W. Ehlers, both of Emporia, Kansas and Minnie Adeline Ehlers Siebert, wife of Mr. Edgar R. Siebert of Detroit, Mich. with her husband, three grandchild­ ren, one brother, six sisters, num­ erous nephews and neices and many neighbors and friends deeply mourn her going into the Homeland. •• In her .bed-room for . m&ny years has hung this beautifuV\s^tto: “I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore,, that I ‘ can do or any kindness that I can show any human being, let me do it‘how. Let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” Early in her life she- caught and •practiced .the spirit of ■ this motto. Later, with her children—about her she frequently went on errands of song and mercy. It Was her prac­ tice for years to go through snow and even storm to rneighbors and shout Christmas carols and sing out the Old Year and sing in the New. Many of the families of her church and other churches of Dashwood and community can bear testimony to these . unc-tint-ed, self-sacrificing Christian services as .further expres­ sed in her loyalty to the cause of the church and to the great teach­ ings of her -Saviour, Jesus,- the Christ. During the long months of her severe sickness she further ex­ pressed an indomitable spirit of courage, patience and hope and an -unfaltering faith that must forever be a priceless heritage to her hus- mand and children and to all of us who knew her. The -voice is still, the hand no longer reaches out to help. No more will her feet run in ways of need to bring hope and cheer. Such is the physical, but in a spiritual sense everything that marked her physical existence speaks with an eloquence that -is eternal. Her passing marks again the glor­ ious heritage which a good Christian mother places about her family like an all enveloping mantel of love.

The policy ‘of The Family Herald and Weekly Star of Montreal, since its first issue, about 60 years ago, has been to go on improving each issue from week to week, and give its readers the best value that- brains and money could produce. That policy has cer­ tainly succeeded. Today The Family Herald and Weekly Star has over one million readers, certainly some- 'thing to boast about in Canada. It stuck to its policy and won the race on merit, Its. Wders stuck to it year afer year; proving that a good thing is appreciated. At one dollar a year for that big weekly of 72 pages no home in Canada can afford to be Without it. Four children blest this They were the Rev.

FOWL SUPPER GOES OVER BIG The fowl supper of October 6th, given by the Evangelical people of Crediton, ivas a most decided sue- line, cess. In spite of the hard and rush-' ed work of the committees, every­ body is feeling good because the en­ tire project manifested system ana efficiency and was put across in such a manner that it was a surprise to many a stranger, who ased “How can you do it?” From 5:0.0 to 9:00 .o’clock there was the continuous coming-, but the largest rush, was at 7. Even then there was not a long tiresome wait, for anyone, because, tho young la­ dies were on the job.
