T THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, THURS >AY, OCTOBER 31st, 1935 $2.00 a year in advance; $2.50 to U.S.A j Deanery of Northumberland and Durham Choir Festival The Ohoir Festivel held in Trinity Ohurch, Colbobrne, Thursday, October 24th, 1935, was from many points of view, a success. Chiefly, it showed what can be done by isolated groups of people coming together intent on sinking their individual preferences in a community endeavour. Each choir present had its own way, either in the method in singing the service or in the manner of pointing the psalms or the tempo of the music or the expression usually given to familiar words, but individual preferences were forgotten at the Choir Festival. Whether the performance was a musical success or not is of far less importance than the commun-pirit displayed. However the Choirs did learn new music and new methods they would not otherwise have learned, as well as made new contacts with other singers and work-rs in the Church which will be >y to renew on a future occasion. One of the anthems sung jvas ithout accompaniment, and as most of the singers had learned their parts thoroughly they were able to f ' l'tire attention to the conductor. Some new hymns were sung, om which, "Richmond," to the words :City of God how broad afar, nost enthusiastically taken up by the audience. For the Psalms and Canticles, the lew style of pointing (natural speech rhythm) had been learned; a method in vogue in the Old Country at the present time which promises ' come general on account of the smoothness with which the words may be sung.

Of an agreeable disposition and friendly manner, Mr. Morgan was held in high regard by a large circle of relatives and acquaintances.

Frederick G. McGlennon It is with profound regret that we record the passing of the late Frederick G. McGlennon, who died on Monday, October 21st, 1935, after a lingering illness, following a serious operation in 1931, from which he never fully recovered. Mr. McGlennon, who was the son of the late Samuel and Delia McGlennon, was born in Royalton Centre, N.Y., August 15th, 1881. When Of a quiet and unassuming disposi tion, but always keenly interested ii everything pertaining to the welfare i of the community, he made a host of «f« seats thus r6served friends who unite in sympathy bereaved family. He leaves to mourn his loss his widow, formerly Miss Jennie Irvine, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Irvine of Lakeport, and two sons, Aaron at home, and Sam of Peterboro, and two grandchildren. The funeral service which was held at his late residence on Thursday, October 24th at 2.30 p.m. was conducted by an old friend and neighbour, Rev. Thos. Mc Kim, who based his address on the very pertinent question asked by Job--If a man die, shall he live again? and commended to his hearers the great faith of one who under severe afflictions was able to utter such testimonies as, "I know that my Redeemer liveth," and "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in Him." He also quoted from the words of St. Paul, "The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffer-ing, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance, against such there is no law." These were all very marked qualities of Mr. McGlennon throughout his life. At the close of the sermon a very appropriate solo, "Cast Thy Care on Jesus," was rendered by Mrs. MoKim. The floral tributes were many and beautiful, attesting to the high esteem in which the deceased was held. A large number of friends followed the remains to Lakeport Cemetery where they were interred in the family plot. The pallbearers were Messrs. Duncan Church, John Cuth'bert. Delbert Peebles, Bruce Rutherford, Fred Clarke, and Wm. Kernaghan. Among the relatives attending from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Sam feed and son Bruce, Mr. Henry McGlennon, Mr. and Mrs. Frank McGlennon and daughter Vivian, Mr. and Mrs. Morrison and daughter Agnes, Mr. Douglas Irvine, Miss Marion Irvine and Mrs. Andrew Crawford, all of Toronto; Mr. and Mrs. Sam Parks and daughter Annie, Mrs. Mullen.
