old plantation songs of the south and
also of classical music. The chorus
work was especially good.
The first part of the programme
was given with - the performers in
plantation costumes. The second part
of the programme' opened with a
beautiful piano solo by .Miss Regina
Briscoe,' the piano accompanist of the
company. Several deiightful readings
were rendered by Miss Grace Thomp-
son, who also gave two splendid con-

DAVID HTJGH MacKAY.
' Word was received on Monday of
the death of David Hugh MacKay, ay, in
Port Huron, on Sunday, g
years. He was a former resident of
Seaforth acid a son of Isaac MacKay,
of . Lueknow. Twelve years ago he
left Seaforth. He leaves a
widow,

the late Mr. Frank Allen, of Seaforth,
One sister, Mrs. Wesley Hill of
Lucknow, also survives. The funeral
was held on Tuesday from the home
of Isis brother-in-law, Mr. E. J. Box,
on . Goderich street, to Maitlandbank
cemetery. Rev,' Dr. Larkin officiated.
SERMON TO YOUNG MEN.
Rev. Fulton Irwin preached the
fourth of a series of sermons to young
men on Sunday.evening last. The
series has developed much interest
and the church was' crowded. Taking
as his text,' "What a man sows that
shall,he also reap," the pastor showed
the analogy between spiritual laws
and physical. If a man sows wheat
he will expect to harvest wheat. If
oats are sown, he gets oats. If weeds
are sown, he reaps weeds. The same
is true of the spiritual world. It is
true there also, that as.a man sows,
never was np shall he rear. There ev
more false' statement than the one
that says: "A young man must so ..c
his 'wild oats,'" It would be just as
true to say 'a young woman must
sow 'wild oats.'" If had seed is sown,
a bad harvest is sure to follow as day
follows night. The hospitals and asy-
lums testify to this truth. The sins of
the fathers not only bring suffering,to
themselves, but to generations who
follow.
