WESLE Y CHURCH.
The annual congregational At-lionie
was held on Tuesday evening and was
very well attended. Under the sup-
ervision of the Ladies' Aid an excel-
lent supper was served in the school
room at half past six and when all
had been satisfied the meeting was
called to order by the pastor, Rev.
J. E. Ford, who explained the main
object of the gathering to be that
the members of tlie congregation
might become the better acquainted
and also that they might discuss to-
gether' the aeairs pertaining to the
weltare of the church, Mr. J. A. Ir-
win spoke for the general congrega-
tion in a characteristic manner. Mr.
R. E. Manning, recording steward
and treasurer, gave a report of the
chureh finances, which proved to be
a most encouraging one. A small
'debt of three hundred dollars on the
church shed only remaius to be paid
and this, the treasurer felt sure,
would be easily wiped off by a vol-
untary contribution at the anniver-
sary services to be held in the course
of a fortnight, A water motor was
-.recently installed in connection with
the pipe organ at A cost of a couple
.of hundred dollars. But aside from
these two items the church property
is entirely free of debt. All the
church schemes have been well sup-
ported during the year, the envelope
system adopted a ec,uple of years
ago- having .been found to work most
• satilffactorily. The chianch work in
;all "departments has prospered under
the pastorate of Rev. Mr. Ford and
'pastor arid people are to be congrat-
ulated on the, at state of
affairs.

Mr, FL W. Watt, 'tale walking
down Main street on Tuesday slipped

that the aid of a surgain was re-
quired in closing the wound, It • is

of the street, always remembering to
turn to the proper' side when mei t-
ang or being overtaken by a rig, lest
