In 1899 Mr. Frayer moved to Winnipeg and entered the employment of the Merchants Consolidated Chain Stores which do business from Winnipeg to the Rockies, and which Mr. Frayer says was not effected by the depres- sion but even this year took on a number of extra hands.

O. T. Burkwall of Toronto, had charge of the church service here last Sunday afternoon. He spoke in the interest of the Bible Society. Col- lectors will be calling on the regular contributors in due time. The haying season is completed. Harvest time is on the way. In spite of the rumblings of thunder and the threatening appearance of the sky, the Sunday School scholars met at the church on Saturday noon amid much fun and laughter, arranged themselves in rows in the truck, ready for.the ride to the picnic grounds at Greenwood. Arriving there they made a dash for the dressing rooms from which they emerged in a few moments ready for the swimming pool. . The members of the "Tree Club" of Toronto were there at the grounds also, and Prof. Corsan gave swimming demonstrations and instructions which were interesting and helpful to those who enjoy the sport. Ball games and races took up a good share of the afternoon. The slide and swings amused the little ones. But the best thing of all the afternoon's entertain- ment was the supper. There were big sandwiches and little sandwiches, made of fish, eggs, pickles and lettuce, in fact everything that goes into the making of good sandwiches. Cakes of all kinds, light, dark and medium, and one with a new delicious icing which the maker told of and gave the récipe. Lemon pies, apple pies and RRR A A a A a A eR ek A berry pies. All the pies that little boys and big boys are fond of. When everyone was full to capacity and th: clearing away process finished, the adults of the party enjoyed a walk around the mill-race. It winds around and in and out among the trees, open- ing up here and there into tiny ponds filled with pond lilies, cat-tails and water plants of all kinds, or it flows over little dams making much noise for so little water. Altogether it was very delightful and cool, that narrow path along the mill-race, under the trees, with the setting sun rimming the dark clouds with silver and gold or bursting out in rose and orange shades of beauty, The drive home was lovely too! The air was washed and cool after the showers and everyone declared that the grounds were ideal and that the picnic was a real success. When we were very young, a birth- day was a very important day with us. It was looked forward to for months before. After the age of. twenty-five was reached they were not so import- ant and as the years roll on a birthday becomes no more than an ordinary day--to the one who has it. But to others, especially the daughters and sons, a mother's birthday is a special day to them. On Sunday Mrs. W. J. Cook wakened to the fact that she was entering upon another year of life but thought nothing more about it. Soon her sons and daughters with their families began to arrive with mys- teriously wrapped parcels and happy greetings , and about forty relatives and friends made a very pleasant sur- prise party for Mrs. Cook. A joyous afternoon was spent together and a bountiful supper spread, provided by the visitors, was enjoyed by all. We wish for Mrs. Cook many more such happy occasions.
