It brings to our minds the words of the poet when he says: “God hath his myster- ies of grace, ways that we cannot tell,” and it seems hard to tell why one so full of hope and joy should be called away and severed forever from the joys and pleasures which he afiorded his parents, and especially his father. God claims our very best and while we felt our se- vere loss we realize it is His gain, and that it is all for the best. When death comes and takes away one so young it causes our minds to reflect on things higher and eternal. The home that a few days ago was full of joy and happiness, is now rent with grief and much sympathy is felt by all for the bereaved family. Funeral from Victoria Road Thurs- day morning was largely attended by friends and relatives. - [\J OI " ..*'.°f';::::: 98c Circulation in detailâ€"History, 128, Biography 90, Voyages and travels, 100, General literature 140, Juveniles, boys 214, girls 91; Little ones 82, Bound periodicals 51, Poetry 45, Science 98, Religion 60, Miscellaneous 68, Fiction 665.

The special committee, of whirl: Mr. Kirkconnell is chairman, roport~ ed through the secretary in reference to the Library Association Conven- tion to be held here next month. The committee was unable to give very much information at present, as no answers had yet been received from communications sent out. LIBRARIAN'S REPORT The Librarian's report was then read and adopted by the board. There is a decrease in many of the different lines of books in comparison with December, 1908, while in others a large increase is registered. For December, 1909, only 1762 books were in circulation while in December, 1908 1828 books were in circulation show- ing a decrease of 61. Fiction, his- tory and science appear to have suf- fered more than any other lines. Foi- lowing is the report: The minutes of last meeting were read by Secretary Patrick and con- FINANCE REPORT.
