Dnnsford was the fourth son of Rev. J. H. Dunsford, rector of the parish Fretherne county of Gloucester, Eng. Rev. Mr. Duns- ford came to Canada in the year 1838, and became one of the pioneer settlers on the shores of Sturgeon lake. Mr. Geo.

When one sees how our own county councils transact business with no divisions except those that grow out of honest difference of opinion about the matters in hand,'it is not easy to be reconciled to the party tumult with which problems of no greater import are discussed in the Provincial House. When representatives regard a ques- tion from a party Or any other stand- point than the merits of the case as they understand them, the people suffer and pOpular government is defeated If no other considerations than these influenced the men who sit in the leg- islature surely there would be unanim- ity among such intelligent men more Often than there now is.

Mr. Morris furnishedamost appropriate surprise by having the choir sing Kipling's “Reces- sional" after sermon. Miss Cora \Valtcrs sang the solos in good style and feeling. â€"Service at St. Paul's was conducted on Sunday by Rural Dean Marsh, assisted by Mr. Vance. The rural dean announced that Rev. Mr. Lloyd had been appointed by the. bishop to take charge of Cameron and Cambray, as successor to Mr. Mc- Namara. Mr. Lloyd cowes from Toronto, where he has been chaplain of the Queen's Own Rifles. He was appointed by General Hutton to accompany the second coming cut, and expected to go until late in the week, when it was learned that the. church had sent a representative from the eastern provinces. Mr. Lloyd is known in the city as “The Fighting Chaplain," and is a personal friend of Rev. Mr. McNamara. Mr. Marsh preached on the passage in Matthew describing the arrival of the magi seeking for the new-born king of the Jews. The sermon was replete with interesting lessons and earnest cxhorta- tion. The dean noted that the star of divine direction appeared to menwho were about their ordinary occupations. Similar examples were cited: Elisha plowmg, the shepherds watching flocks, the fishermen at their nets, all received the divine call or visitation. God's call never comes to an indolent man or trifling woman. Tradition save these wise men were kings; perhaps the idea has arisen from the passage in Isaiah, “Kings shall come_to thy rising. It is also said they were Arabians ; that may arise from the words of the same author, “ The Kings of Arabia shrill offer gifts." All we know for certain is that they were kingly men chosen of God. They came to Jerusalem asking “ Where is he that is born King of the Jews? ’ and to their surprise nobodv knew. Hero-i, however, inquired of learned Jews, who consulted the Scrip- tures and found that Bethlehem was to be the birthplace of the king. Herod then ordered the children of that village slain. Like some today he studied Scripture only to try and overthrow it. The Jews also have their representatives today who find out the teaching of the bible and then are. too busy to act on it. They did not even go SIX miles out to Bethlehem to see trio king of whom the Scriptures spoke. the. Wise men learned the truth, acted upon it, and found their desire. They “'01." shipped; after confirmation of Christ's divmity such as we have. how much more ought we. They offered precious gifts. We should offer things and service pre- crous to us.

'ras INAUGURAL-TV-iâ€"EETINGâ€"ADDRESS The members elect of Ops council for 1900, assembled at 11 a.m., January 8th, at the clerk’s office. made the prescribed de- clarations of qualification and office, and subscribed thereto. At the conclusion of the installation ceremony, Reeve O‘Connell addressed the council on the responsible duties he and they had just assumed. He said he hoped that every member would endeavor to do his duty honestly and fearlessly for the general welfare of the township. They were the trusted servants of the ratepayers who had elected them. and be trusted that at the close of the year each would be able to render such an account of his steward- ship as would reflect much credit on the Ops council of 1900. Notwithstanding the heavy annual expenditure on roads and bridges in the past, he feared that the ap- propriation for roads could not be lessened much this year, but one thing he desired the council to guard against was the di- verting of water from its natural course. Former councils had some years ago de- viated from this rule, doubtless with the best intention, too, to shorten distance etc., but experience has taught us such action tends to lead to litigation. Coun- cillors Byrne and :McLean followed With pithy speeches endorsing the sentiments so well expressed by the reeve, and said that if ratepayers requesting or desiring anything done by the council would send such to the clerk by letter, it would be promptly attended to, and there would be less waste of time for all concerned. one.
