CHURCH NOTES. ' Rev M J Wilson, B A, of Teeswater, and Rev Dr Gandy of the Wingham Methodist Church, exchanged pulpit work on Sunday last. Rev. D. Perrie, of Wiugham, who has been appointed interim moderator of the session of Knox Church, Teeswater, con- ducted the services last Sabbath and officially declared the pulpit vacaut. his ministerial jubilee, and the hope that any co -presbyter present who may reach the fiftieth year of hie ministry may be able to look back over the past with mere joy aucl satisfactiou than he had at the present time, The Moderator, the Rev. J. 3, Mattie, and Dre. Murray and Ross, Messrs. Smith, Perrin, MacNab and Perrie spoke in the order named expressing apprecia- tion of the disposition and earnestness of Mr. Wardrope during his long minis- terial life. They referred to the fidelity, z:al, humility, and affection that charac- terized him, and expressed the hope that he might yet be spared for many years to manifest the qualities ho possessed, Mr, John McRae read an address pre- sented by the congregation to Mr. Mal- colm. This declared the great sorrow they had in parting with one who had laboured so long and so successfully in their midst, and who had ever given him- self in the most unselfish and whole -soul - ed way to the service of the Master, and for the advancement of the best interests of his cougregation. Mr, J. K. McLean„ in name of the congregation, presented a purse, well filled ith gold to Mr. Malcolm, and in doing so stated that they would much rather give him a purse to stay than to go. Mrs. Grant read au address from the W. F. M. Auxilliary to Mrs. Malcolm, in which reference was made to her cheer- ful and buoyant disposition, and to the services she had rendered as President of the Society. At the conclusion o: the address she presented a gold watch and chain to Mrs. Malcolm, in name of the Anxilliary, and for Miss Underwood, Mre. Maloolm's sister, who was absent, a gold. pine Mitis Malcolm likewise re- ceived a substantial token of the young peoples'esteem. The members and adherents of the Teeswater Presbyterian church present- ed their pastor, Rev. Mr. Malcolm,. prior to his departure from the flock whom he had ministered to for many years, with a purse of gold amounting to $150. Mrs. Malcolm was also remem- bered by the W.F.M.S., who presented her with a beautiful gold watch and chain. MAITLAND PRESBYTERY. the 26th of June Mr. Malcolm stated that the present was one of the saddest and happiest hours of his life. He recognized the deep and genuine appreciation which his people had shown during the past 17 years. Mrs. Malcolm and he were hav- ing great sorrow of heart at the thought of leaving. The memory of the appreci- ation and loyalty of his beloved people would be treasured by them both till their dying days. Members of Presbytery present spoke in the highest terms of praise of the work done by Mr. Malcolm daring his pastor- ate in Teeswater. Reference was made On the eight of a to the fact that having served one of the large congregation packed Knox church, two congregations which when united Teeswater, for the donble purpose of formed the present Knox Church, for celebrating the jubilee of the Rev. David three years he was readily accepted as Wardrope, and of bidding farewell to the pastor of the united congregation, the Rev. James Malcolm, whose pastor- and that the great tact he had shown ate had closed on the previous day. both at the tune of the union and after Many members of Presbytery were pre- had had much to do with the successful sent to show their esteem for the. father blending of the two congregations and and the brother, upon whose account the with the great success they had enjoyed meeting had been convened. during the time that had elapsed since An address was presented to Mr, they were made one. Mr. Malcolm's sermons had always the true evangelical Waencs ofpe by the members and a her - sive ring. He had not spared effort in prepar- ents the Congregation expressive of the esteem in which he is held by those amongst whom he had spent 34 years of his life, and was read by Mr. R. E. Little, one of the elders of the congregation. A congratulatory re- solution, passed by the Presbytery, was read by the Clerk. The address, which was of considerable length, concluded with the following words: "We are one in our recognition of yon as one of our former pastors, and we are one in rendering thanks to God for His gracious goodness in bestowing upon yon the great blessing of a long and useful life. We join in the heartfelt prayer that it may please Him, who exercises a provi- dence over all his creatures that it is at once minute and comprehensive, and who has caused it to be known that "He will withhold no good thing from them that walk uprightly," to long continue to watch over you, onr venerable friend and father; that he may bestow upon you all convenient temporal blessings; that your crown may at length be be- spangled with jewels gathered from this community, and from other parts where yon have been permitted to labour for the glory of our blessed Lord." .previously- presented by the East Ash - TIDE WINGIIAM TLMES, JULY 6, i90.5. WAs'riNf,r ANAEMIA. A 'Croat>le That A Al lets ThouNand a of Ton ng WON -Cured by Dr. N illluwn' fink rills. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do only one thing, but they do it well. They fill the velus H ith uew, rich, red, health loving blood, which drives away ill traces of anaemia, headache, backache, palpita- tion, nervousness, dizziness and despond. enoy, The uew blood they make bright- ens dull, lustreless eyes, and brings the rosy glow of health to pale cheeks In curing anaemia Dr. Wilhams' Pink Pills cure the toundation of cousumptiou as well. The new blood they actually make gives new strength and vigor to every organ in the body, and enables it to fight whatever disease attacks it That is why they are the hest medicine in the world for girls in their teens—or for women in middle life—and to all those whose blood is weak, watery or impure. Miss Mazy E Pratt, Blyth, Ont.. gives strong testimony to the value of these pills. She says: ' I w over a year with mute pletely run down. ha aches, spells of dizziu of the heart, oct red all summer and was no better tha hen 1 began. I had practically given n all hope of finding a cure when my brother advised me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I got four boxes and when I had taken them I felt so much better that I got six boxes more and before I had taken all these I was completely cured. I am more thankful than I can say for what the pills h.va done for me, as but tor them I would not be enjoying good health to -day, I strongly urge all weak girls to give Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial." Miss Pratt s exoerienr e proves the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to every weak and ailing person. These pills can be had from any medicine deal- ers, or by mail frorn the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont , at 50o. a box or six boxes for $2 50. a sufferer for a. I was corn - frequent head - ss and palpitation ation. There were those in the congrega- tion who had declared that they had never heard him preach a sermon that was unprepared. The contributions to the Schemes of the church fourteen years ago were $616.00; last year they were $1342.00. During fourteen years the Teeswater congregation had contrib- uted in all $12,302.00 to the Schemes, which constitutes them, so far as the schemes are concerned, the banner con- gregation of the Presbytery of Maitland. Doubtless this is largely due to the fideli- ty, singleness of purpose, and earnest de- votion of Mr. Malcolm, who has expend- ed his energy so ungrudgingly that he feels constrained to rest for a while be- fore seeking a new sphere of labour For his devoted work Teeswater is grate- ful and there is none of his co -presbyters who doubts that when he has rested a while, he will repeat in his next charge what he has already done in Teeswater. On Friday the 16th June, the congre- gation of St. Helen's presented their late pastor, the Rev. S. M. Whaley, M.A., with a purse, which along with a purse Mr. Wardrope in his reply disclaimed the qualities attributed to him in the ad- dress and in the Presbytery's resolution, and expressed his gratitude to the con- gregation and to the Presbytery for the good will displayed in thus recognizing ,Whatire your friends saying. about you?

A twelve quart pail will bold all the pennies in Butte. In the money drawer or cash regis- ter of nearly every business house in Butte there is a tin box back in one corner, and in it are pennies. When the box is full the merchant puts it under his arm and climbs the hill to the new postoffice, unloads his accu- mulation and carries home stamps for it. When a child comes into a store and buys and proffers pennies in payment the pennies are forthwith cast into the little box. As a general thing the pennies given out in change in the postoffice seldom get outside the building. Before leaving the building the owner of the pennies decides that he or she would rather have stamps for them, and the ex- change is made. So the pennies in circulation In Butte hover about the postoffice. Once In awhile an arrival from the east scatters them among several stores, but eventually the little disks find their way to the postoffice. The stores do not make change in pennies in Butte. Some use postage stamps. It has not been so long since pennies have been given out in change at the postoffice. Two or three years ago a man bought a money order at the Butte postoffice. He had 2 cents In change coming to him, but there were no pennies with which to pay it. He complained to the postoffice depart- ment at Washington, and then came an order directing that a supply of pennies be obtained and change made.' Since then there has been pennies in Butte, Helena and most of the larger offices in Montana. But the merchant as a general` thing has little use for pennies, and it will probably be a long time before they come into circulation in that part of the northwest. There are no penny newspapers In Montana. Children always have a nickel to buy candy, sometimes more. There are no penny values shown for sale in that city. The merchants think the pennies a nuisance. The public look at the mat- ter in the same light, and if it had not been for a disgruntled buyer of a mon- ey order who failed to appreciate that if the 2 cents had been coming the oth- er way nothing would have been said about it the probabilities are that pen- nies would be fewer in Butte and other Montana cities than they are today.— Butte Letter in New York Herald. field portion of his charge, amounted to $180.00. They also presented him with an address expressive of esteem in which he is held by those whom he has served with enthusiasm and devotion for the past ten years. The congregations were greatly prospered during Mr. Whaley's tenure of office. and to him was largely due the measure of prosperity they en- joyed. In 1895, the year of Mr. Whaley's settlement, the contributions to the Schemes of the Church were $299.00, In 1003, when the high water mark was reached $827.00 were contributed. There was a net gain of 94 in the mem- bership, which now stands at 320;. and the gain in families has also been consid- erable. Snell statistics bear eloquent testimony to the work done by Mr. Whaley, and give good reason to expect that when rest has restored his vigor, he will be ready to render service in another oharge similar to that which he has al- ready performed in St. Helen's and Eaat Ashfield. Of this, no one who has had the privilege of 'working side by side with him for any length of time has any doubt. ANDREW YMIACNAB, Presbytery Clerk. • An lra sa tf for women .art. lion.

FAMOUS PEOPLE BY FANNIE M. LOTHROP PDoto"by Mott & Fry: 11434-4) MRS HUMPHRY WAR® England's Great Woman Novelist Literary prophecies, like boomerangs, should be handled with extreme caution—they are so prone to recoil. When Matthew Arnold affirmed that no Arnold could ever write a novel, he did not look sufficiently far into the future to sec Mrs. Humphry Ward, the daughter of his brother Thomas, recognized as the greatest woman novelist of her generation. She was born in Tasmania in 1851, and when six years old was brought by her parents to England. Her father, a college professor, changed his col- lege as frequently as his religion; his intense conscientious yearning for abso- lute truth whirling him from one faith to another like a cork caught in the eddy of a stream, and making him the fit prototype of "Robert Elsmere." At the age of fourteen, when the family migrated to Oxford, she breathed the University atmosphere that was joy to her heart. She acquired knowl- edge as naturally as a bird learns to sing, and she was known as a marvelous linguist, being as perfect in German, French, Spanish and Italian as if each were her native tongue. At twenty-one she was married to Thomas Humphry Ward, one of the university dons, whose work as author, editor, critic, has given him a place in English literature. She was ambitious to write, and her earliest efforts were so weighted with learning and research that they were as heavy as dumb -bells and fit only for scholars to read when they wanted to get away from pleasure. She wrote many articles for the "Dictionary of Christian Biography," which paid little in coin but more in credit. Mrs. Ward was thirty-one before she undertook real fiction with "Miss Bretherton," followed four years later by "Robert Elsmere," which captured the reading public of two continents. Before this, it is true, she had written a child's story, a pale -complexioned, ane=mic piece of work, fitly named "Millie and 011ie." Her translation of "Amiel's Journal" from French into English was an exquisite literary gem, expressing so perfectly the subtle windings of the thoughts and emotions of the simple Swiss professor, that it seems as if he himself must have re -thought his whole diary in English, without the touch of a translator. "David Grieve," which paid its author over $100,- 000, and others which paid fully as much, soon, followed, among them, "Sir George Tressady," "Helbeck of Annisdale," "Eleanor" and "Lady Rose's Daughter." • In her beautiful country home, in Hertfordshire, she does her literary work, seeking to escape from the storm of publicity her books have aroused and avoiding all society but a little band of devoted friends.

A peculiarity of the Instrument is that however acute may .be the sufferings of those who Cannot get beyondreach of the sound, the boy who does the firing is in no danger of death or injury save at the hands of the distracted neighbors.— Philadelphia Ledger.
