Althouzh Monday with its rain, wind and snow betokened anything but a pleasant Christmas, the day, however, came in cold, clear and snappy, and the weather was ideal for the greatest Natal day celebra- tion. The thaw of the last week practi- cally wiped away all the snow and effaced the selighing. The frosts since have frozen the roads quite hard and motors and wheeled veh- icles run well and enable people to get about with facility. Mrs. Robt. Goodale, accompanied by her daughter, Jean, of Nutana, Sask., arrived in Milverton on Friday evening and will spend a couple of months visiting her aged parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Atkin, and other friends before returning.

The sudden cold snap which froze the lake caught many of the gill-net fisherman at Ruthven with miles of their nets still in the water. Unless there is a regular smash-up of the ice by warm weather and heavy winds, the nets filled with fish will be a total loss.

Powell, the new rector of St. Stephen's church, arrived in town and was met by mem- bers of his congregation and welcom- ed. Sunday last the Reverend gentle- man preached his introductory dis- courses and did well. Mr. Powell has a pleasing voice and a free de- livery and his discourses showed eareful preparation. With the kind- ly sympathy and hearty co-operation of he congregations in aiding him in endeavoring to do God's work, we've no doubt, he will do well here. It is to be hoped many bright, happy years will come to St. Stephen's church and all wish the new rector and congregation the highest success. We welcome Rev. Powell and family to our midst.--Gorrie correspondent in the Fordwich Record.

If the candidates for municipal honors could get together on Monday at the nomination and arrange to avoid an election it would undoubt- edly engender a better feeling in the village. The effort is worth being made. Decisions being given by exemption appeals tribunals will really affect the tobacco industry of this district. Sons of farmers are not being grant- ed freedom from military service and as a result many thousands of acres of tobacco land will not be cultivated next spring, owing to the shortage of help. The fuel situation in Seaforth is still unrelieved. One carload of coal received last week was distributed among 385 homes in sacks and half- ton lots. The town council has tak- en a census of surplus shade trees throughout the town and these will be cut down and will ease the situa- tion somewhat. The annual report on the health of the city, published in the Beacon shows that the death rate continues to be amongst the lowest in the Dom- inion, having ben only 9.5 per thous- and. Much of this is due to the vigi- lant efforts of the Medical Officer of Health and the Sanitary Inspector.-- Stratford Beacon. On Wednesday of last week Mr, W. D. Weir, auctioneer, conducted a sur- plus stock sale for Mr. George C. Gibson, of Wellesley, which netted the neat sum of $2,700 and left as much stock on the farm as was dis- posed of. On Thursday he sold the stock of Mr. Alexander Stewart, of Mornington, securing therefore the sum of $3,003. Cows brought as high as $170 per head. The teachers and pupils of the Milverton public school gave an en- tertainment in the large room on Thursday afternoon. Rev. E. H. Bean acted as chairman, and Rev. C. N. Paddon, who was present, also ad- dressed the parents and pupils. Mas- ter Lloyd Bastendorff acted as Santa Claus and helped to distribute the presents, which filled several large baskets. Each child was provided with a bag of candy and an orange by the school board, <A very pleas- ant afternoon was spent by those present. Pte.

On Sunday last, the new edifice Paul's church, Ellice, replacing the building that was burned down on the 11th of February last, was open-| ed and dedicated in the presence of a large assemblage of people. Prompt- ly at 10.30 o'clock, according to the church book, the services commenced in the front of the church. The key was handed by Mr. C. C. Rock, the contractor, to Rev. A. Blunck, the pastor, when the doors were unlock- ed and swung open, allowing the con- gregation to enter for the first time. The dedication of the church to the worship of Almighty God then took place, after which the regular ser- vices were conducted. Rev. A. Blunck took charge of the altar services, af- ter which Rev. H. Wiegand, of Brod- hagen, preached in German from the words found in Phillipians 4:4-7. Rev. O. C. D. Klaehn, of Stratford, preached in English, basing his re- marks on Matt. 17:18. Special mus- ic was rendered by the Brodhagen choir. At the evening service Rev. O. C. D. Klaehn again preached, choosing as his text Matt. 5:14-16. The choir was assisted by Mr. Wilfrid Zimmer- mann of Milverton who sang a couple of solos. The services were very im- pressive, the congregation entering into them with a thankful spirit. The new church, which arose Pheo- nix-like from the ashes of the old, better and grander than ever, is Old Gothic in style and is one of the fin- est to be found in a rural community anywhere. It is 60x36 with an al- cove at the front for altar and chan- cel, and a tower 10x10 sixty feet in height at the entrance. In the tower swings two large bells aggregating a ton in weight. The interior is all finished in hardwood, and the appear- ance is splendid indeed. The seating capacity of the building is about five hundred, three rows of seats being in the auditorium and a gallery along three sides of the building, the rear gallery being reserved as a choir loft in which stands a large combination organ, The chancel is splendidly ap- pointed with pulpit altar, candle- sticks and crucifix, altar and pulpit bibles and altar drapings and altar chairs, which was donated along with the beautiful vestry furniture by friends. The chancel windows typified the Crucified Christ, The Lamb of God, and the Cross and Crown. The basement is large and roomy and will be an excellent place for the holding of minor meetings. Mr. C. C. Rock, of Brodhagen, was the general contractor, the masonry being done by Mr. John Querengues- er, and the carpentering and interior work by Mr. John Diegel. The trus- tee board of the church, who had the work of construction in hand, were Messrs. Geo. Reis, C. Buuck, George Debus, John Buuck, Joseph Malcho, George Alles, John Baumbach, Fred Miller, Henry Mogk and John Den- stedt. The cost of the structure will be not less than $14,000 or $15,000, apart from much gratis work done by the congregation in the hauling of material and providing sand. The history of the congregation dates back from 1863, but the first church, a frame structure, now doing duty as a stable on the manse prop- erty, was built in 1869. 23 years later a splendid brick edifice replaced it, which was opened and dedicated in 1894. It was destroyed by fire in February of the present year. The changes in the pastorate have not been frequent. The first pastor was Dr. Scharfrack, who presided over the destinies of the congregation for several years. He was followed by Rev. Mr. Spady, who died about a year after his induction. Rev. J. Heinzelmann followed and remained until 1887, when Rev. A. Blunck, the present pastor, succeeded. Under the pastorship of Mr. Blunck, who has devoted all the best years of his life to the upbuilding of the King- dom of God in this community, the congregation has been wonderfully blessed, as well as the congregation at Milverton to which he also minis- tered. He is held in the deepest ven- eration by his people with whose lives his has been interwoven. Only dur- ing a long pastorate, such-as his, can develop that spirit of mutual confi- dence and respect that should exist between miinister and people to bring the highest results for good. It is to be hoped that Mr. Blunck may yet be spared for many years to continue his work in this community. About $300 was taken in on the plate.
