M«MiUan Pastor of St. John's United ChurcH Flesherton It seems providential that Christ- mas precedes the New Year by but a few" days. While the constant Sun- of-Time is setting upon another year, bringing the realiaatioin of incom- pleted tasks, broken resolutions, fad- ed good intentions, half-hearted ach- ievements, and more espcially, the darkness of war, out of that gloom, a Light, as bright as the rising sun, shines from Bethlehem, which pro- mises a second chance and a new hope. The blackness of human regret and melancholy; the hopelessness of a world at war, cannot shut out that light, for it speaks to us about a never-failing God, who is a friend of the good-intentioned, the courageous and the patient. We cannot see the face of the future because it walks steadily, surely, ahead of us. Along its path which we must go, there now falls a beam of glorious Light May we all pursue the future with a radiant hope because we see The Light. Before us is a future all unknown, A path untrod: Beside us is a Friend, well loved and known. That Friend is God. The happiness which this faith will bring, I wish for you, Mr. Editor, for all your readers, and especially for the members of my congregation, that the New Year may hold for you all, prosperity in the fullest sense of the word.

Taronla, Ont KI. 4^ ! \ Reeve Arnold Hutchinson, Reeve of Osprey for the past two and a half years will be opposed by Dep.-Reeve Morton Sayers, who has held that office for the same length of time. W. L. Taylor of Singhampton was nominated for Reeve, Deputy-Reevt and Councillor, but this Monday even- ing it is doubtful if he will stand for any position. Eight men were nom- inated for the three Coimcil seats and Monday evening five had signed Messrs. McCutcheon, Sprott, Buie. Wilson and Stinson. It is expected that unless John Hudson allows his name to go forward for the position of Deputy-Reeve, that he will be the sixth on the ballot for Council. Geo. McDonald has signed for the office ol Depnty-Beeve and will likely have Mr. Fred Hale as his opponent, al- though Mr. Hale has not stated his intentions. Those nominated have until Tuesday evening at 9.00 o'clock to sign their nomination papers. The nomination was largely attend ed by an orderly audience and gave the speakers splendid order as they gave an accounting of their work dur- ing the past year. Mr. Chester N Long, Clerk-Treasurer of the Town- ship was an efficient chairman. TJie township has not had an election dur- ing the past two and a half years since the bye-election caused by the death of the late John Lockhtirt, Reeve at that time. At the same time as the election of members to the Council board, the voice of the people will be heard as to whether or not they will continue to have the privilege of holding an election each year or be forced by the Hepburn government proclama- tion of an election every two years if the people favor the move. Practi- cally all municipalities that have held elections and voted on the subject decided for the yearly election. Kimberley-Eugenia Road To Be Plowed Resident on the county highway from Kimberley to Flesherton, via Eugenia, will have the road kept open this winter, and Mr. H. A, McCauley has been given the contract of snow plowing the road from Flesherton to Kiml>erley.

The late Mr. Myers was bom in Toronto on November 14th, 1856, a son of Joseph Myers and Harriet Bullock, and came to Osprey Town- ship as a boy with his parents, who settled on a farm in Osprey Town- ship. They were among the earliest settlers of that district. He was married in November, 1875, to Miss Nancy Hanley of Osprey and to them were born six children, five sons and two daughters, those surviving being William of Flesherton, Sheldon of New Westminster, B.C., and Oscar of Cabri, Sask. Mrs. Myers prede- ceased her husband by twelv years on December 23rd. Mr. Myers was the last surviving member of a fam- ily of six hildren. He retired from farming 25 years ago and moved to Flesherton, where he has since resid- ed, except for a couple of years when he lived in Feversham. The late Mr. Myers was a m%n o: high ideals, had a quiet nature and was highly regarded by many friends who regret the passing of an old friend. Mr. Myers has been wonder- fully active for his years and until recently was to be seen down town almost every day. Additional Local Items Miss V.
