"The World fo» Christ." "Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts," and "Whatsoever lie saith unto you, do it." It was a wQnder- fully fine addr«ss, delivered in a clear Voice and was most convincinR. Many expression? of api)recialion of the special Christmas shopping edition of The Advance were express- ed to the editor last week. It was the first time in the history of this paper that ten pages, all printed in this office were produced It was a tremendous undei-taking for our small staff and was off the press to catch most of the mails on Wednesday. We thank all those who spoke kindly of the special edition, at the same time hoping that the advertising of the merchants in Flesherton will assist materially in satisfying the demand of the Christmas buyers who patron- ize the stores. Come to Flesherton and be a satisfied shopper. Beautiful Tribute In memory of the late Mrs. A. D. llhurston. nee Blanche Walker, form- erly of Kugeiiia, the Woman's Mis- sionary Society of Moivlreal VVest United Church nresented her husband with nil "In Memoriam" certificate and the following letter of tribute, which will be of interest to her many friends at Kugenia, Toronto, Mon- treal and other centres: "In presenting this "In Memoriam" of Mrs. IVurston to the Women's Missionary Society of the United Church of Canada, we feel that we are honoring the memory of one who was dear tQ all. who knew her. Her faithful and willing service in every department of our church's activities was giveji graciously and unstinting- ly. "Her very face revealed the beauty of her character, and the .ioy she felt in service ffy others. "It might be said of her, as the ideal WQCjan described in Proverbs. 'In her tongue was the law of kind- ness. " "Passing away suddenly last sum- mer she has left with us precious memories of life joyously and un- pj-udgingly given to the work of the Master, whom she loved so well." Taxes Were Paid Saturday was the last day for the extracting of th_e l'J35 taxes from property owners before the extra a- mount is added for non-payment.
