Unless the shoe is properly made, it will < mould tho foot in a very unnatural unnatural shape and probably ruin it for life. A few short weeks of a poorly made shoe on a growing foot will create havoc. We have shoes for children all sizes--from the, inf ant" to the romping school ■ boy or .girl. Shoes that are made to conform with nature's models--styles that will mould the foot correctly and per- feçtly. And the prices are ne higher than you would pay for the ordinary kind.

David Rogers, London, Ont. writes ender date of February 5tb: My earlv life was made up of School and Church experiences experiences only. I referred before to early School-teachers. Those were followed by W, E. Tilley in 1866 7-8 and F. L Ellis 1869 and a goodly number of years following. following. . Going back to Church life, as far as I can remember, I distinctly recall the following--(down following--(down to the year of my leaving home, 1874) 33 pastors of the Bowmanville Circuit. Circuit. i860,Wm.McFadden and colleagues W. Sheridan and James Graham ; 1863 Edwin Clement and Wm. Galbraith, James, Hannon;. 1866, Geo.Cochran, S. J. Hunter; 1867, Richard Whiting, Geo. Leech. In 1869 Bowmanville was constituted a "station" "station" with G. N. A. F. T. Dickson as pastor. pastor. The same year Darlington was set off as a seperate Circuit with Alfred McCann, McCann, A. C. Chambers and R. W. Williams as the pastor and two junior c I leagues ; 1871, T. A. Ferguson, T. H. Patchell, J. F. Metcalf,!. N. Robinson; 1874, A. R. Campbell, Thos. Slater. Not oueof the foregoing is now living saveRev.Leech who is 82 years ofage. Among the local preachers of those "days who; afterwards entered thewdrk, I recall the following, with a text from which 1 heard èaeh preach: Robt. McCulloch, Heb. 12:1; E. D. Washington, Washington, B. A. 2 Cor. 4: 4; J. W. Annis, John 6; 68; Geo. Washington, M.A., and W. C. Washington M.A. were local preachers in 1858 and i860 respectively, but the periods are too remoteto'allow the record of texts. Among the Bible Christian ministers who Served during- the; above period Ire- call Cephas Barker, Paul Robing Jésse Whitlock, Joseph Hoidge, Edward Roberts J. T. Rice, W. S. Pascoe, John and Henry Kenner, W. Rollins., From the list of local preachers the following went into the B. C. Ministry: Geo. Smith, W. C. Beer,. Robt. Baker, E. A. Tonkin, S. J. Allin and others. I have no record of anÿ of the above men or dates--save on memory's tablet, but I think they are * absolutely correct, and I would not be willing to part with myknow- ledge and experience of those men and their work for anything that could be offered me. Another preci us memory is the singing by the Choirs of Hampton, Enniskillen, and .Tyrone, enriching as it did the various services of the - hurch. I. L. Brown and wife, Mrs. Marshall Cryderman, John and James Stainton, Abram Younie and wife, the Misses Çlemen and many others, were fine singers, and the voluntaries-- "That home of the soul", "What shall the harvest be?" "Awake, awake put on thy strength", "One thing have I desired of the Lord" and "When rolling years shall cease to move", linger still as a most preci us memory and spiritual benediction. May God bless the few of the above who are still in the flesh, and when their voices are no longer heard in the melodies of earth, may they, with a deeper emphasis and a holier feeling swell the anthems of the skies. Miss Evva A. Scripture,. 323 So Syndicate Syndicate Ave., Fort William, Ont., writing under date of February 4th says: Mother and I were most fortunate in securing a very comfortable house, exceptionally well furnished, central and convenient, *0 we are very happy. Weather has been rather extreme of late, but it was only 28* below yesterday morning--have had it 35° below this winter. Snow is five feet deep no«f and InctyiNrpredict that it will be eight feet. Mother says to tell you "I'm enjoying your paper as always. Kind regards to Bowmanville friends." OBITUARIES. TOWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
