The funeral service was held on Monday afternoon from St. Columba United church and interment was made in McNeil's cemetery. The largest turn out ever seen here old settlers say, the church and its roomy gallery being filled to the ut- most. Rev. J. A. Moir of St. Col- umba United church conducted ser- vices at the house, church and grave- side, preaching a comforting sermon, and recounting the many fine efforts and work of the deceased in church and community. Rev. N. McDonald, neighboring minister, led in. prayer. The text was from Daniel 2: 22. After a reference to the exjwrience of Daniel in which he found that God alone could solve his problem, appli- cation was made to the text of our experiences. We had man.y of these that were hard to understand, one ot the greatest is the loss of a loved one. We try to penetrate the dark- ttess 'but our thoughts come back to us in the memories of the past. We only get help when we listen for God to speak, which he does in John 14: 1. "Let not your heart be trouibled, you believe ^n God and thk-ough Hip word light comes out of the darkness.

The chief purpose of the revision is to enable the farmer to be paid on a quality-, basis, as well as making it possible for the consumer to tell what he or she is buying.

A. of the United church was held on Thursday afternoon, March 15. Seven members were present and after the roll call, the minutes of the last meeting were read and ad- opted. It was decided to quilt the daisy" quilt at Mrs. John Campbell's home later in the spring. The W. A. thought they had better stick to the old rules of a few years ago, to give treats to members of the W.A., in case of sickness and flowers in case of sudden death. The W. A. treasury during these times of depression can- not afford to give all sick persons in the congregation treats, so have de- cided to give them to sick members only. Mrs. Campbell put on a con- test which was won by IMrs. Chas. Martin. The meeting closed in the usual way. The three units of the W. A. will wind up their three month term at the April meeting. The treats sent Mrs. Will. Hawkins and Mrs. Will. Walker Sr., were from the Community Club and not the W. A. as mentioned. We are sorry this error occurred. Mrs. Will.

The resu't was that one of his arms was badly cut from elbow to near the wrist, necessitating a number of stitches to close the wound.

N., of the iSick Childron's Hospital, Toronto was a week end visitor with her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Morton.

The pas- tor called upon Mrs. McKenzie to come forward, when Mrs. Florence Lyons read a well worded address, expressing appreciation of service rendered and Mr. W. G. Jamieson presented Mrs. McKenzie with a beautifully bound volume of the Unit- ed church hymnary, with music. Al- though entirely taken by surprise, Mrs. McKenzie managed to express her appreciation of the valued token of good will, as well as to the kind sentiments conveyed in the address.
