THE FI.ESHERTON ADVANCE Wednesday, Dece^nber 9, 1936 , «' I' i ,< !i "White Gift" Sunday At St. John's Church Next, Sunday morning the Sunday School, in conjunction with the morn- ing congregation, wiU take part in a "White Gift" service. Our church is tal<ing the responsibility of providing Christmas cheer for one Pi-otestant settlement six miles from Kapuskas- ing, in Noi-thern Ontario. There are 12 families in the community with 37 children to whom we will play Santa Claus. We .suggest all gifts bg wrapped in white and at the proper time, after the Sunday School classes have placed their gifts in the manger, the congregation will be invited to bring their presents also. It is hoped there will be toys for the little ones â€" for what is Christmas without a toy of some kind; candy, nuts, handkerchiefs, games, towels, toilet soap, stockings, mitts, or any such gifts that would make the children and parents happy, will be very acceptable. Gifts of money, placed in a white envelope, would be used by the committee to purchase suitable aiftifles, so tnat none will be missed. The mothers of^the Church are clubbing together to g|^ure something for each mother. A "committee of ^ree is in charge, Mrs. Service, Mrs. Murray and Mrs. Hickling. Cash donations will be received by the com- mittee until Friday afternoon when the Ladies' Aid is meeting at the ; church to wrap each mother's gift. j The Sunday School will sing three i Christmas choruses at the morning service and Rev. Service will bring an appropriate message. The church! will be decorated for the occasion. All , 'n all, it will be a very impressive service. All are invited to come and wke part. The service in St. John's United Church on Sunday morning last was of wonderful interest to a large con- gregation. The service included the reception of new members, ten on cards from other churches and twenty- eight on profession of faith. The pastor. Rev. George Service, after the reception, preached a timely sermon to the new converts, taking his text from first Timothy, first chapter and fifteenth verse, combined with Mat- thew 24â€"1.3: "This is a faithful say- ing and worthy of all acceptations, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief, But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." The can- didates were mostly young people, the youngest being 15 years of age. Sev- eral young married couples were in- cluded. It was a thrilling spectacle to see this array of youth taking a stand for the better life, and the prayer went up on many lips that Klondyke Veteran Died At Edmonton A native of Flesherton, Ont., Mr. Gilliland came west in 1898 as a mem- ber of the fortune-seeking horde that swarmed into the Klondike fi"om all parts of the world. He was there during the historic days immoi-talized by tile sourdough poems of Robert W. Service, and in his later years was much sought after for hig vivid anec- fiotes of the gold-rush era. He arrived in Edmonton at the turn of the century 36 years ago, being on the staff of the Walters* Sawmill com- pany for nine years. In 1910 he wwit to the Cardiff mine, later being active as a partner in the Banner mine. Since 1!)26 he had resided in Edmon- ton. Mr. Gilliland was married to Miss Ii-ene Eekert, of Edmonton, in 1911, She survives along with a brother, Thomas Gilliland of Eugenia, and a sister, Mrs. Thomas Betts of Flesh- erton.

When 16 years of age he was converted and baptized in the Baptist church at Flesherton. He bore his sickness so cheerfully and hopefully, always willing tjo make everyone happy who came within his doors. His home was given to hosu pitality.
