A THREEMrs. Harry Gidley was re-appointed ing the redecorating of the audi
torium was held on Sunday last.
Large congregations were present at
both the morning and evening ser
vices and th’e pastoi* Rev. D„ AIcTa-
vish delivered two very eloquent ser
mons in harmony with the occasion,
At the morning service Air. AIcTa-
vish took for his subject “Strength
and Beauty are in his Sanctuary.’’
This was a re-opening message.
At the evening service Air. AIcTa-
vish took fox* his subject the “Con
secration of the Commonplace.” The
theme was Peter and his fishing
boat. Business and religion should
go hand in hand for the upbuilding
of the church and society. The ser
mon was qn appeal for the reconse
cration of all life's gifts.
Aliss Alice Hoffman, of Dashwood,
assisted the choir’ and sang two solos
both morning and evening. Aliss
Hoffman has a very sweet voice and
her enunciation is particularly clear
and appealing to music lovers.
At the evening service Air.
Grant rendered a violin solo
simply charmed his hearers.
Grant's playing is always appreciat
ed. The choir rendered splendid
music for the occasion.
Air. AIcTavish paid a tribute to
the AVomen’s Association for under
taking the re-decoration. A new
pulpit table, a gift from the young
men of the congregation and two
-new pedestals from the AVomen’s As
sociation adorned the pulpit rostrum.
The walls are done in a buff tan
color with stencil patterns in quiet
and harmonizing tones at the bottom
and top. Alost of the woodwork in
the church is done in a dark oak
while the seats are of a lighter hue.
i The brass chandeliers are polished
i and lacquered and all new frosted
1 bulbs installed.
I Tuesday night a.supper was held
in the basement of the church fol
lowed by a program in the auditor
ium. The ladies served a verj
sumptuous repast. The tables were
beautifxtlly decorated and well laden
With delicacies to tempt the appe
tites of the most fastidious. There
was a big turnout but before eight
o’clock all had been well taken care
of with heaps of provisions to spare.
The program was provided by local
talent with the pastor Rev. D. AIc
Tavish in the chair. The orchestra
under the leadership of Alt. AV. R.
Gouldlng provided splendid music.
.Readings, which were yell receied,
were given by Airs. R. Kestlo, Aliss
‘ Mary Grant and Rev. D. AIcTavish;
violin selections were given by Geo.
Gtant; solo by Aliss Pearl AVeod; or
gan solos by
duet, Aliases
Stewart and
« Misses Betty

joyed,
librarian.
The committees were appointed as
follows:Book committee, Hueston,
Weekes, Howard; magazine commit
tee, Pryde, Hueston, Stewart; build
ing and grounds, Francis, Hueston,
Howey; insurance, Hueston, Howey.
Receipts for the year amounted to
$17276.38 and the balance on hand
$153.09. The number of volumes
at the end of the year was over 5,000
and the circulation totaled 14,9,3 6.
The library was established in
187 8 and the present building was
erected in 1914, the gift of Mr.
Carnegie, who donated the entire
cost of $8,000.
The library is well patronized, not
only by the citizens of the town, but
from the surrounding country and
in this way helps to draw business
to the town.
A book, giving the history of the
city of Exeter, England, was offered
fol' isale by a citizen of that Devon
city. It was unanimously agreed to
purchase the book and place it in the
library. It was thought many De
von people in the community would
find it interesting reading.
DIED IN AVINDSOR. ,
Miss Alice Handford received
word Saturday of the death of her
brother-in-law, Mr. C. Thornton, of
AVindsor. Miss Handford and her
nephew, Mr. Silas Reed, left Sunday
