Knott, 4th Hue, Eu- phrasia on Feb. 11, wheu their daughter, Htntietta, was married to William Bread- ner of Rocklyn, at 6 p.m., to the strains o' Lohengrin's wedding march, played by Miss MableCook. The young people took their places under an aitistJc arch of ever- greens, interwoven vith floral designs, the brido leaning on the arm of her father and looking very cha;minsi in a costume of moy liidies' clo.h, trimmed with white sal in. The bridesmaid wtvs her sister. Miss Rebecca Knott. Henry Breadner .sup- ported thegro;ini. The beautiful ritual of the Church of England was said by the Rev. C. L. Mills, iucunibenr of St. Mary's church, Maxwell, after which about one hundred guests sat down to a sumptuous banquet. A beautiful display of costly and useful presents attested the high es- teem in which both bride aud groom were held. We understand the young couple are going to reside near Heathcote. "The great Canadian West and the church's opportunity " was the subject of Rev. Ivison Wilson's address on Sunday morning last. By the use of a map of the Dominion he clearly exemplified the vast areas yet to be populated. Between Norfh Bay and the Pacific coast there is room for thirty-seven provinces as large as old Ontario, and from Dawson City east and south you could carve out thirty- seven more aud have some habitable ter- ritory left. .Most of this is suitable either for tuubering, mining, ranching or agri- cultural purposes, and the rivers and lakes are teeming with tha most valuable fish. This great laud will iu the near future bo the homeot millions of people. The influx of population du.rini! thej year .just closed was greater than that during the preceding ten years ; and a conserva- tive estimate places the pTipulation of Manitoba and the territories by July, 1905, at 750,000 and perhaps 1,000,000. .\ large percentage of the incoming set tiers is from the western states. All ihis means that hundreds of churches must be built, new circuits formed aud additional ministers provided. As the Methodist church is the largest Protestant denomi- nation in the Dominion, representing about one out of every five of itx entire population, there is speciid responsibility resting on this church. This was fully recognized by the lecenl general«onfer- ence and four missionary superintendents were set apart to supervise and organize this new work, and provision was mad* to raise ?50,000 lo meet increaseil expen- diture in this direction. The speaker showed that this is probably the most profitable investment the church can make, yielding large profits and quick re- turns. LoM than three years ago a young man was sent to minister to the settlors on I he Sault lino running from Moosejaw to the internationul boundary, at a cost of f35 to the general society. To-day there are thirty appointments nu that line, every one of them self-sustainins; and contributing to the gtnnral fund. The ctmgregatioti here is askeil to ct.'nlribnte toward this " special emergency fund " next Sunday :.nd the res^ionse should be hearty and generous. Big trees, it would seem, have not yet entirely disappeared from this part of the country. One day last week Weiler & Son of FoimoM brought in a big pine log to Truax' mill that measured 2 ft. 6 in. ihi'outfh twenty feet from the butt. The tree from which this log wa« b-tken was grown on R -bert Chambers' farm near Program for Concert Following is the program for th« con- cert in the Methodist church on Friday evening, 20th inst. : PART I. 1â€" Opening Chorus, Crown Him Lord of All Mr. A Mrs. Sheppard & Misses Joy 2â€" Piano Solo Mrs. Sheppard 3 â€" Chairman's Address Rev.

In the human race man gets scratched. Woman's crown- ing glory is her hair. P.iit of her crown- iiia glory is usually on the dressing table and fiagments in the butter. Do not go homo with another woman's crowning glory sticking to your coat. Woman considers she is the orcamental portion of the uuverse. She works hardâ€" with her tonge â€" and never stops. That's perpetual motion. Woman is a great hunter and chases some poor chap until he proposes to pay her board and lodging for the rest of her life. She then says, "This is sudden," and the man is booked. She has three objects in life: 1st. dress; 2"d. dress; 3rd. dress. She really has another object â€" her husband â€" but ho s an object of pity.
