Surprise Party Given To Presbyterian Ladies Mrs. T. W. Wilson And Mrs. Jos. Blackburn Received Presents An event of great surprise to the ! recipients was the social evning held ! at the honne of Mrs. F. W. Duncan on Friday evening, November 14th, by the Ladies' Aid of Chalmer's church when a presentation was made to Mrs T .W Wilson and Mrs. Jos. Blackburn, two valued members. Mrs. Wilson has been convenor of the flower committee of the church for a number of years, while Mrs. Black- bum has been organist. In recogrni- tion of their valuable services the former was presented with a hand- some wicker vase and the latter a bautiful wicker tray and sandwich basket, the presentation being made I by. Mrs (Rev.) Harrower. The I ladies were taken completely by sur- prise and in a few words thanked I the Ladies' Aid for their kindness. j About thirty of the ladies were pres- ' ent and a very jolly and pleasant evening was spent. A very inter- esting part of the gathering was the presence of Mrs. A. S. VanDusen, who was the first president of the Ladies' Aid at its organization over forty years ago. Rev. Mahaffy Explains Church Union As It Affects This Church PRICEVILLE Presentation Made By i Young People Of Town A "shower" was given to Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Hales at the home of the bride's father, Mr. J. L. McMullen, on Thursday evening, November 13th by the groom's many male friends from here. The happy young couple were the recipients of a handsome vanity dresser, oak rocker and chairs, half a dozen each of knives, forks and spoons and other useful articles. Although the night was stormy a large number of gentlemen and iadies I from town wgre present and joined in the surprise for the young folks. After best wishes were given the bride and groom the company enjoyed refreshments and a genial time Avas spent by everybody. At the regular services in the Pres- byterian churches of Flesherton, Eu- genia and Proton last Sunday the Rev. Mr. Mahaffy of Orangeville ad- dressed these congregations as repre- sentative of Presbyterj' and Synod of the United Church of Canada. His address was on "Our Congregation and the United Church." Mr Mahaffy's address was so com- prehensive and satisfying that all present felt that most, if not all, dis- turbing questions re church union and its effect upon these congrega- tions were fully and satisfactorily dealt with and answered. WHfen the time comes for these con- gregations to decide whether or not they shall go forward into the United Church their minister hopes that no local prejudice willcause any divisions among the people. Following are the facts set forth by Mr. Mahaffy: When a congregation enters with its church into union it will carry on every branch of its work as it has done in the past. Its Trustees, Ses- sion, Board of Managers, Women's organizations. Young People's Socie- ties, minister, elders and all officers will maintain their present standing and continue their functions as be- fore. The order of worship and the Book of Praise will remain unchan- ged. Every congregation entering the United Church will retain its right of self-determination. This is specifi- cally set forth in the Basis of Union, and guaranteed by Act of Parlia- i ment. I The United Church will have no : power to compel one congregation to : unite with another. Local opinion ' and all the circumstances will be tak- ; en into consideration, and the people ' will be consulted before any change takes place. In the management of their local ' affairs the various congregations of I negotiating churches shall be entit- led to continue the organization and ' practices enjoyed by them at the time of the Union, subject in general af- i fairs to the legislation, principles and discipline of the United Church. I Their representatives in the next higher governing body or court shall , be chosen as at present. The liberty of the nastoral dharge shall be recognized to the fullest ex- tent compatible with the oversight of the spiritual interests of the charge by the Minister and a body of men chosen and set apart or ordained for the work, who shall jointly constitute . the session. I If minister and congregation both enter the United Church the pastoral j relationship is unintei-rupted. The right of the congregation to call its own minister is guaranteed, and the pastoral term is "without time limit." _, The oversight of the conduct of ministers will be in the hands of the Presbytery as at present. The property rights of a congrega- tion wiir be unaffected by the Union. The Presbyterian Church in Can- ada will continue- its life and work uninterrupted and unbroken in the United Church of Canada, and only by going with its mother church into the Union can a congregation con- tinue as a part of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.

Royalty To Dog Snipers In every Township in Ontario there is a sheep fund to provide pay- ment to those whose sheep have been killed o» worried by dogs, s.iys the Chesley Enterprise. The payment of inspectors for assessing the value of damages is also taken from the sheep fund. We notice that one Township Council has struck out a- long new lines and offers a reward of $10 for every dog shot while worrying sheep. That's as wise a regulation as paying a bounty for every wolf's hide. Other means hav- ing failed to stop the ravages of sheep-worrying dogs we will see what effect the old reliable shot gun and rifle will accomplish. We rem- ember as a boy seeing a dog chasing a neighbor's sheep one bright moon- light night. Our father, had an old pioneer muzzle-loading shot gun he slipped across the road, rested the musket on a rail fence and as the dog came near he let blaze and there ' was one less Wolfish canine in this I province. Nobody ever claimed . the I dog and dear old dad was compli- I mented by the neighbors for being a I crack shot. We would recommend the reward of $10 to dog snipers by Bentinck Council. That would en- courage straight shooting and pile up a surplus in the sheep fund. The same could be applied to ar- temesia and Osprey township where the losses of sheep killed are con- siderable. â€" Ed. Jas. Dargavel Bought Prize Fox for $1,000 Mr. James Dargavel, owner of the Rock Mills Fox Ranch while up hunt- ing this fall sold a pair of proved breeding foxes to Mr. M. Nesbitt of Ardbeg for S1200. -While at the Royal Winter Fair at Toronto last week Mr. Dargavel pur- chased a prize winning fox pup from the Pure Canadian Fox Co. of Prince Edward Island, for which he paid the handsome sum of $1000.
