The building was a total wreck. A car belonging to Mr. Armstrong, who lives in half of Richards' -house, was in the garage at the time but he mimaged to get it safely out of -the garage before any damage resulted.

LETTER OF APPRECIATION Th-e fo il inving is a letter of appreciation appreciation for -tiho splendid services- of nur fire brigade at the recent fire of Mrs. A. Henry's home and garage, received by Mr. W. E. D-avey, from The Dominion Insurance Company, which reads in part : Dear Mr. Davey : "As, you no doubt are aware we had a policy on the property of Mrs. Gertrude Gertrude II. Henry which wa-s damaged by fire on the 19th instant. On reviewing the adjuster's report, we understand- the fire brigade did excellent work in extinguishing thils blaze without further damage being done and we wish to take this opportunity opportunity of congratulating you as captain captain and 1 the members of the Fire Department on their ouibstand-ing work." AN APPRECIATION A well known person passed away on November 27th. who was a well known- - citizen of this neighborhood in the 88th year of his age. Mr. White w-as born on Lot 12, in the 7th Concession of Clarke, wtis -a former pupil -of McLoatn's School bu-t lived most of Ms life on the farm purchased, purchased, from- the Chestnut family some, sixty years ago and gave up farming several years ago to reside at four corners ( Sta rkville). Imimediate -survivors who mourn their JosS, are his widow, who was formerly- M-is-s 1 Esther Patterfeon, also a native of Clarke and daughter of the late Thomas Patterson. Mr. ami Mrs. White „ celebrated on .October 21st Inst" the (53 vd anniversary anniversary of thier marriage,-also an only only -child (Miss Ida) Mrs. L B. Stark., , -Our departed friend was a consist,- e;nit member,of the former Methodist church and after the union of the United -church. The writer is glad to state that in an intimate friendship w-e can. say of the late John White "he w-as a Christian gentleman." -Rev. J. H. Ostefhout preached a very effective sermon- to a large and interested congregation in Park -St. Church last Sunday morning on the t-exts "I delight to do Thy will O' M,y Lord," and "Th-y will be done on earth as it is- in. Heaven." -He said 1 there can be no effeoctual prayer that has not as its basic motive motive the will of God. This is a general general condition of all true prayer and the answer to the question what shall wet pray for. There is no limit to wha-t we can ask for in the will of God. If you examine the psychology and mechanics of prayer yon may conclude ;ha! there is hot much-,to it, but the fa-ct that there is a connect-ion. connect-ion. between -certain facts that a reproduced reproduced and prayer cannot be denied! The answers to prayer are too many to bo argued against.' The preacher, quoted V Wni. James, ■ the eoaminent psychologist, as sa.Ving. "prayer docs real work, it releases' forces which bring kings to pass." When we pray thy will be done we can then leave results With God. All prayer is answered but' not always ah we expect it to be. We can trust our Father to give us what is hes-t for us. The prayer, thy will be done, is Used sometimes- to express God's purpose in redemption. It is- not his will that any should perish but that all should come -to him and be s-aved. Jesus said my meat is to do the will of my Father and -our meat is- to dp the will ,df our Master, when-"we do-- God's will it ife meat to us when we do our own will it is poison. God's will is the basis of all true prayer. At the evening service the minister spoke on the subject, "Joy " over -the recovered," using at-- t he basis- of Lift sermon: the -four lost -para.ahfas inffthe 15t,h chapter ufLuke, the lost,sheep, the lost coi ii, the Sat younger son and the lost, elder son. We can create joy -on earth and (in Heaven,-said the preacher by coming to -Jésus ourselves for salvation and by bringing otiiers td know -him, whom to kno-w is life ever-lasting. At, this service Mr. and Mrs. Smit-h sang à very, well rendered and suitable suitable duet, "Where is: tny - wandering bey tonight,
