Some . eight miles further down the

place 'known as -Port Blake for which
a future was predicted. A wharl.

not take place until three o'clock in

freely criticised by a Montreal law-

There is an electric light plant in
the city, but only a half dozen houses
are wired, and as the plant is more
for dazzling day visitors than for
night illumbeation it is irregularly op -
crated. The power is furnished by the

ST. PAUL'S HARVEST SERVICES,.
On . Sundaylaet the annual harvest '
tide thanksgiving services were held
in St. peel's church and were verY in
teresting arid instructive. Large . cen-
gregatiions were present at all the ser-
vices,' as it was known that tee gee.
Craig, rector of Petrolea and a
foriner rector of 'Ste Paul's; was' to
preach. The congregation which ass
roe:nailed: at the -evening sereace was,
.with• -the exceptioll. of that on: the oc-
casion of. the Bishep's visit, • the larg-
est for many years.
Mr. Craig has many admirers in
this team mitside of the :members of
St. :Paul's church and, scene Of them
helpedto void' the attendance. .Ev-
eryoriescented pleased to greet Mr.
Craig again and all agreed that :the
passing years seem to Sit lightlyupon
the rector of Petrolea. .
The church was beautifully decorat-
ed for the occasion, the credit of
which is largely this to lVfiss: Brewer,
and the music and rendition of the
service appropriate to the :season cel-
ebrated. •
The subject of Mr. Craig's morning
discourse was Pselta cidvn. If we
read the psalms attentively, said the
preacher, ;•We • must be impressed with
the %sustained . note of praise and
thanksgiving rinmina through them.
The psalms say that is a gooct
thing to sing praises Unto our GOA'
for it is 'pleasant. and praise is act-
ely., We feel:: that it is good to re-
joice; that it is right :to rejoice at
all times. Joy and rejoicing are al-
ways Proper .• marks .of a'Christian
-character, even while we know that
perhaps Altera are deeper things n the
formation .of • individual and national
character thanjoy, viz:: pain and
trial. Pre* is pleasant and comely
because it is good for us always to
remember that God is the source of
all things.' There is a taidency to;
forget. this and a harvest tiome
thanksgiving service helps us, to
real-
i,.c that whether God works directly
or, indirectly He is still ;working and.
controlling all things.
Praise for a Canadian harvest home
is pleasant and proper. Our history
is short but it is a history of Cour-
ageous and hardy deeds.. Our commer-
cial development has been -Slow but
magnificerit in its results,: as our
Teily.reyse canals, public . buildings,

more thankful that we are Canadians
whatever our immediate or remote an-
cestry. Let us pray that God will
make our country sgreater and great-
er; let us pray that We may all' be
tette,: large hearted, open handed.
The afternoon service Was especially
by and for the benefit of the Sunday
school and the address was interesting
to the children and within their com-
prehension, ' The preacher took as his
topic., 11 Money," te thing often men-
tioned in scripture and especially talc -
eh to prove mates duty to an earthly
sovereign. Whose image and .sup -
ascription is this ?" Prom an util-
ization of this text Mr. Craig point-
ed out thet (i) every child was mark-
ed for Christ, (a) Oita as coins were
of different value so childreit had a
varied possession of gifts, (e) that
may the stainp made a coin valuable
so that it is only Christ's mark "upon
US that gives us value., (4) that
there are counterfeit coins, so, too,
there' are hypocritical Christians and
lastly that as paper money represents
a promise to pay, so we have Christ's
promises which He for His part will
most surely keep and perforni.
An informal reception was tendered
to the Rev. Mr. mad Mrs. Craig in St.
Paul's schoolhouse on. Tuesday even-
- Mg by the members of the Ladies'
'Guild of the church. Notwithstanding
the unpropitiotts state of the weather
a large number gathered to greet a-
gent -their former rector and. frieed.
A most enjoyable two hours were
spent and the Rev. Mr. Craig must
have had some realization of the warm
affection snd regard in which he is
held by his tamer parishioners in

quarterly meeting of the exatitite
