many friends here distributing his an-

Hikghis always keeps in touch with

the week in the persons of Mrs. (Rev)
Gauld and Mrs. (Rev.) McKibbon, of

-The Missionary address which was
given by Mrs. (Rev.) Gauld in the
Methodist church, on Thursday even-

have enabled her to see much as a
missionary and nurse among the peo-

mentioned by Mrs. 6auld and the ad-
dress throughout left much room for
thought and meditation and when we
come to compare our privileges to
the people of that countrf, how thank-
ful we should be that we have the light
of the Gespel at our own door. We

helpful sermons afternoon and even-
ing to large and appreciative congre-
gations. The afternoon's Sermon was
based on Gal: 2:20. The speaker held
that this -gave' Paul's experience. .Ev-
eryone who 'views God has a religious
experience. Our greatest need ie a
definite, experience and this depends
upon the degree of consecration of the
individual. Paul's religious experience
was characterized by decision, faith,
prayer, love and obedience. Mach
phase of this experience was impress-
ed by apt quotations .from St, Paul's
writings, At the evening service the
text was taken from 1_ Tim -4:7 "Ex-
ercise thfself unto Godliness!' or as a
recent translation has, put it, -"Train
youreslf to lead a religious life." His
line of thought was: "Those who enter
the profession are willing to spend
long years in training to fit theinsel-
ves for their life work. Even far-
mers are reaching out after training
for the Proper prosecution of the great
work they have to do. The greatest
job in the world is that of being a
Christian. If a man wishes to in-
crease his physical, moral, or spiritual
life he must train and exercise these
phases of his existence. Therefore the
Christian must train his faith, relig-
ious emotions and education, his abil-
ity to teach in the Sabbath school and
eeray in public as wel as privately,
ete. But with the training mu`st go
work, earnest, loyal, whole -hearted
service. There is only one, standard
and that is the one laid down by the
Saviour, viz: "Take up they Cross!'

through neglecting it- He also had
thoug,hts of entering the Christian
ministry but he lost his desire in his
tievotion to physical research. The

hold the returning soldiers. Mr. Ag-
new closed with the thought, "There is

than to live the Clpdly life." All were

would benefit her health, settling a

were residents of our village, and all
friends in the west wish to be remem-
bered to their many friends' here. Mr.
French, who was doing his share of

Jubilee Anniversary Services -Fifty
years ago the first Methodist church
was built in this village and the jubi-
lee anniversaiy servcies Were held on
Sunday last; the 8th -inst. For three
or four years before the church was.
opened services were conducted, first
in the homes -of the people aiid after-
wards in die little . log school -house
which stoOd where the Presbyterian
manse now is. This was one of the'
appointments of the Exeter circuit.
One of the earliest ministers was the
Rev. Mr. Tucker. It isn't certain who
was officiating when the church VMS
open, though we believe it was Rev.
Mr. Holmes, but those instrumental in
getting the work started were a Mr. -
Winings and another Young man from
Exeter who held revival services with
blessed results. A large society was
,forinecl of men and women, whose
hearts the word touched and 'whose

Briefs. -Mr, James Smillie of the
London Road, just north of our village
purchased the Crawford farm just
across from his own farm, be-
ing, the bighest bidder at the auction
sale held on Mondav last, and having
his own farm in fine condition in ev-
ery way, will no doubt in the near fu-
ture make improvements to the one
he has purchased -On Saturday last
Miss B. Welsh, saleslady for Mr.
E. Rennie, merchant, had the good
fortune to possess the lucky number or
ticket for the very beautiful :Centre
piece, which Miss C. V. Smith,. mil-
liner of this village, most tastefully,
and beautifully made and presented in
the interests of missions and Red
Crow work ,and We believe this fine
piece of work realized nearly $60.00,
which certainly was a nice sum realiz-
ed for the good work and Miss Smith
and Miss Welsh have both reason to
feel proud, the former as the maker
and designer ,and the latter as the
lucky young lady, to obtain such a
fine piece of handiwork. -We are very
pleased to see- Miss Ena Jackson so
well recovered- from' her recent very
serious illness from the "flu" and go-
ing around again ire her usually good
health. -Miss Dora; Sherritt who has
been in training -in London for softie
time for overseas military service dut-
ies, took passage recently for the Old
County, where she will be engaged' in
active service. -Mr. James Robertson
of our village, has returned from
spending some months in the west and
reports a fene trip and pleasant time
with relatives and friends in the far
famed west. -Our curlers and skaters
are longing for colder weather in or-
der to insure their favorite past time.
-We regret to learn at date of writ-
ing that Mr. William Truemner of
this Village is very seriously 1111 with
members of his family called home -
Our public school is keenly feeling the
want of good hard coal, it being found
very hard to get the desired results
from soft coal. -Miss Flossie Foss
has very acceptably filled the clutieee
of, pipe organist in -Carmel Presbyter-
terian church for the past two Sun-
day's during the illne'ss of Mrs. M.
R. Rennie, .who we are pleased to t�
say is improving nowrapidly.-The
remains of the late Mr. William Moon-
ey of Chiselhurst came off our morn-
ing train on Wednesday and were tak-
en to„ McTaggart's cemetery for in-
terment. It appears that Mr. Moon-
ey went out west in the summer to
attend to some business and had to re-
main there for some time on account
of the ban on the "flu" and as soon
as he cd•Uld start from there for home
he did so but on the way was taken
ill from the epidemic and had to re
main in Toronto for some time. He
the managed to reach London, where
his parent's reside and was in the hos-
pital there where he died. Very much
sympathy is felt -for the bereaved wi-
dow and three young children. The
