PA,SSING'. OF MRS. HESSIAN.
The severing of life's slender unread
came suddenly and unexpectedly to
Mrs: Thomas Hessian, one of Clin-
ton's oldest, best loved and most
highly resiected residents. For the
past month or so she has been con-
fined to her bed owing io the weak
condition of her heart. Everything
that loving hearts and hands count
do towards her restoration to health
was clone. Her daughter, Mrs. I. P.
Cunningham, a trained nurse, and
her son, II. A. Hessian, who grad-
uates in medicine next spring, besides
her doctor, were fn constant atten-
dance. Three ivecks ago a hear-
specialist was called from Toronto to
consult with her local doctor. She
made aradual steed} • recovery from
g v y
her sickness, took a slight relapse,
recovered again and was deltig nicely
and even planting to go to Toronto
in two weeks to spend tl-e winter,
when on Wednesday night last about
ten o'cioci, without arty- warming
whatever she was overcome with a
paralytic stroke, became uncons.ious
and without a trace of suffering slept
peacefully away to the end which

had been home with her during her
illness.
Mrs. Hessian, who was sixty-eight
years old, was horn in London, Eng-

KEEP SINGING IT.
It appears that the Bishop of Hur-
on has given instructions treat the
national anthem be sung at each Sun-
day service in all churches of the
Diocese during the progres''s of the
tear. }•t'itliout any special recommen-
dation many of the churches besides
the Anglican have been making a
ir ise of singinggtng one cease of the.
national anthem at one or both ser-
vices each Sunday. It is a good
idea, too, and the writer would like
to hear not only the first verse but
else the last, which aaias for tho
"scattering of his enemies" and the
fustration c': "hie," the cnentp''s,
"knavish tricks," wltieli seems parti-
cularly applicable in the present care,
The singing by the whole congrega-
tion of "God Save the King" raga-
1a>:Iy at the chetah services cannot'
fail to ,impress the minds of the peo-
ple; too many of whom perhaps think
of the war as a long way oll. It is
just as awed for Canadians to keep
in mind the fact that this country is
at war and to act accordingly. '
