Years,
Kenneth had apparently been in

to the barn about 7 o'clock, About
7.30 he was found dead by his bro-
ther Arthur, lying at the side of the

Born in West William township,
three miles west of Parkhill, son of
Mrs. Jackson . and the late John
Jackson, Kenneth Jackson came to
Tuckersmith in 1927 where the Jack-

operating 500 acres under the name

�• OUR CHURCH
1 S.
Sometimes the church services
may seen dull to weariness. Too
often they yield no blessing. The
bush is not always burning with hal-
lowed lire: But surely no• one ever
took part in these services, who
carafe with . a need or a trouble, who
did not receive help, strength and
light. The church is a home for the
lonely, where solitary and outcast
and disappointed people May find in
the service and fellowship of the
•chur'eh, the help and comfort they
need. The neglect of public worship
is disappointing to all church leaders,
especially in- these busy and hustling
and overdriven days, when men and
women need .so much a place of quiet,
a time, of meditation,, an hou' of
recollection. It is strange that young
men and women, in 111A years when
the things that are beautiful, are at-
tractive to them, do not hunger for
the beauty of holiness, -and it is even
mdse singular that older men and
women who are walking in the trying
levels of middle life, and are bearing
the heat and burden of the day, do
•,lot come eagerly to church. Here is a
man who has come into God's house,
perplexed and harassed, bewildered
about his duty, and as he prays, he
sees the way before him as in a
vision,- Here, is a woman, bearing her
secret sorrow, and afflicted with fear
about her life, or burdened by her
deep anxiety for .those clear to her.
As she sits, she catches the con-
tagion of faith,, and peace. like a dove
descends upon her. Here ,are young
men and women, tempted by this al-
luring world. They find themselves
chastened, and their miter's roused to
choose the strait and narrow way'
Riven little children as they have
sung ,their hymn, have realized that
they Were 'very neat' the Saviour vein)
loves them.
