MacGregor, | tnt 72r-2 Myrtle Station _ The inclement weather on Sunday evening kept the greater number of church going people in their homes. The icy pavement made it unsafe for those who would walk, and the rain was too wet to be out in it for many minutes, Rev. G. S. Gervan was suf- fering from a bad cold and was unable to continue with the service after the reading of the lesson and the an. houncements. The sermon will be used in next Sunday evening's service, and the subject is unique as Mr. Ger- van has never used it before: "Jesus Singing Hymns" -- Matthew 26:80. There are yet some empty pews, and everyone is welcome, + The Red Cross workers met on Wed- nesday of last week and quilted two quilts, Another top has been pre- pared and will be quilted by an inter- ested worker in her own home. Several pairs of socks.are completed and more are in the process of being made. =| Scarves and wristlets are also being knit. There is still yarn on hand for { socks, and the Myrtle chapter will be glad to supply knitters with yarn,-as long as it lasts, if they will ask for it. Everyone who is interested in this wark is cordially invited to assist. ~ "The Man from Nowhere" played by a group from Centre Street.Church Oshawa, in the community hall, on Tuesday evening of last week, was appreciated by a good house. It was sponsored by the Faithful Workers' S. S. Class. Everyone of thé ten actors played his and her part well and with very little prompting. At the close of the drama the members of the class served refreshments to all who were present. Mrs. Edward Fisher of Ashburn, spent Friday with her daughter Mrs. Archie Parrinder.

" The Ashburn "Horseshoe Club will hold a dance in Myrtle community hall ou_Friday evening of this week. We understand that local musicians will furnish the music. Mr, Jack Kirkham, te C.P.R. sec- tion foreman, has had an extra num- ber of men for the past few days clearing the snow from the ditches in readiness for the spring freshets. Neighbors and friends of Mrs. Ed- ward Mole were shocked to learn of her very sudden illness on Thursday evening.

But when I came across the sentence, 'The first oné won one one-dollar prize'; I gave up trying." We can readily understand the discouragement and the abandonment of the study of the Frenchman!
