Her unexpected death took place on the evening of October 18, following an apparently s,uecessful op- eration a fortnightpreviousin Wing ham hospital. Her Husband, Rev. D. I'crrie, D.D., learned of her death on his homeward bound journey from Scotland, where, as Moderator of the General Assembly, of the Presbyter - ion Church in 'Canada, he was one of the Canadian representatives at the consummation of the union between the United Free Church and the Church of Scotland, having left one week earlier than was his intention, owing to his learning of iter illness. Net until his arri4a1 at Quebec was he appraised of her death. It. is be- lieved that the shock of his wife's death hastened his own death which occurred some 'three: months later. Surviving Dr, and -Mrs. Petrie are one son, Rev, D. K. "'eerie of North I3attleford, Sask., and two daughters, Mrs. (Rev,) A. G. Rintoul .of Sud- bury, and Mrs. J. .Parker, who made her hone with her parents at the manse, Wingharn. She now resides at, North Batticford with her brother, Rev, 1). K Pcrric.

A solo by :hiss S McLean of Winghani, was very mind enjoyed. VETERAN LUMBERMAN In the May issue of the Canadian Lumberman reference is made to the fire at MacLean's planing mill, and has the following to say about Mr. MacLean: "Mr, MacLean is a pteblic,spirited citizen of Wingham, where he has re- sided since 1865. He was for years a nteneber of the Town Council and a Trustee of the High School Board. He is also. a former director of the Canadian Retail Coal Association and vice-president of the Western Foun- dry Co., Wingharn. He has always taken an active part in promoting the industries of Wingharn and during his busy career has helped to revive sev- eral of them, His father was a saw- yer and in 1881, along with his son, t I 5. A. ac uired the Fisher s - q tc sawmill 01) crating the same under the name of MacLean cC Son, latterly 'acquiring 1 two other sawmills in the town. For several years Mr. MacLean has been buying timber in the surrounding country and hauling it to his yard and converting it -into lumber, His present sawmill is located just across the railway tracks, a short distance from his retail premises, Hamilton President Speaks Mrs. McKellar, President of the Hamilton Presbyterial, followed with a very earnest challenge, containing a deep spiritual note. She presented a very real vision of the risen Christ. We worry unnecessarily just as the women did before they reached the tomb of Jesus. "\Vho shall roll us the stone away?" they asked, and when they reached it they found the stone already rolled. away. We should assume aur responsibil- ity. _ We should ask ourselves the question, "Ant I an asset or a liabil- ity?" We should pray that Christ should be the channel, through which Christ should be treacle known. It is sacs to hear of Mission Bands disband- ing for lack of a leader. If we follow the example of Christ, we find that it is only busy people that Ife approach- ed, He said to the fishermen -busy peeplc-"Follow .Me and I will make }'c fishers of men." "1)o you pray over your task?" she asked. "Pray ye therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into His harvest." "The harvest truly is plenteous but the laborers are few." Note of Warning aoanded Here she sounded a note of warn - ng. Only one-quarter of the women belong to the auxiliaries. "Take my yoke upon you and learn of mc, for uiy yoke is easy and my burden is iglu." She stressed the power of prayer. Prayer is helpful. We must et in touch with Divine power. An' 1p1. illustration from Hydra was giv- e. 'Che power is there ready for use but we must make the connection be- fore it benefits us. She spoke of the wonderful mem- oriat service of the afternoon and re- marked that the late Mrs. Petrie was a follower, not' a leader, a follower of her Lord grid Master. That waft the secret of 'her, success.
