KNOB 'CHURCH, ORANBROOK
After the wants of the inner man
had been satisfied the musical and
literary treat was rendered in the
church. Rev. J. L. McCulloch filled
his post as Chairman capitally and
with wisdom interspersed with wit
added much to the occasion, The
handled with a vigor and suggestive-
ness that should not fail to bear fruit.
Rev. Mr. McRae ort -did himself as he
dilated on the subject of the hour.
He was assisted by the pastor, Rev.
Mr. McCulloch. The choir did their
part splendidly at both services and
the interest was heightened by the
two appropriate solos so well sung by
Miss Della Kaiser, Stratford, who so
kindly consented to take Mrs. J. W.
Joynt's place, who was nnableto come
from Lucknow, owing to illness.
Monday evening the Fowl Supper,
served in the Long hall attracted a

proved excellent and was meek ap-
preciated by everyone. Paper was re-
commended
e-
nom uded to be sent to the
District
secretary. Moved by Mrs. Holt, se-
conded by Miss M, Johnston that Mes-
dames W, and D. McDonald be com-
mittee to consult Trustees in regard
to paying hall rent and to report on
same at next regular meeting, Mov-
ed by Mrs. D. McDonald seconded by
Mrs. Halt that next regular meeting
he held in hall, Thursday afternoon,
November 30th, paper to be taken by
Miss M. Strachan, During the meet-
ing the ladies present engaged in Red
Cross quilting and succeeded in finish-
ing one quilt, Meeting closed by
singing National Anthem.
Ladies' Quartette, of Listowel, ably
sustained their reputation and are
competent to hold their own with the
best. Miss Kaiser did herself credit
also in her renditions. All were hear-
tily received 'and warmly applauded.
Addresses were humorous, well
seasoned and full of compliment, con-
gratulation and prophecy. Reeds. A.
J. Mann and D. Wren. Brussels ; R.
A. Lundy, Walton ; and Rev. Mr.
Boyle, Belgtave, were the speakers.
The latter represented Maitland Pres-
bytery in the absence of Rev. Mr.
Bradley, Teeswnxer, who was unable
to be present. Financial proceeds of
the Jubilee setvices will read, $825.
Those who had the onerous duties of
the supper are well deserving of the
thanks accorded them,
Many have been the changes in the
congregation during the past 50 years
and to foretell the coming 50 would be
a task beyond the powers of the most
foresighted, but one thing is certain
if the 'congregation and cnunnunity
follow the good advice proffered dur-
ing this fine Jubilee celebration there
will be many victories to report and
advances made worthy of commenda-
tion.
Under the pastoral leadership of
Rev. Mr. McCulloch, backed up hear-
tily by the cordial support of a large
and influential membership, the out-
look is promising. To the young
people will come office and honors,
privilege and responsibility but if they
measure up in fidelity and zeal to the
record of their predecessors in the
good work both in pulpit and pew,
Knox church should have a large
share in the betterment of the social,
moral and spiritual life of the corn -
The pastor and congregation are to
be congratulated on this Jubilee.
Rev. Di. Dey and Rev. Mr. McRae set
up lofty standards and striving after
their attainment cannot fail to secure
an uplift.
Rev. Mr. McRae was unable to re-
main for Monday evening owing to a
very important event, he was interest-
ed in on Tuesday, viz the marriage of
his daughter, Nurse Ballard to Dr.
Lackner, of Kitchener.

Alexander and Mr's. Stewart, 16th
Oon., who departed this life on Nov.
9th, 1914.
We often sit and talk of him when we
are all alone,
For memory is the only Friend that
grief can call its own ;
Like ivy on the weathered oak, when
other thins decay
Our love for him will still keep green
and never fade away. MOTHER,
