The schools of that day were an uncertainty both as to the time when they were kept open and the education provided, but all that was available was taken full ad- vantage of by the McLain's, and hemm- resulted a family equal lo the best in intelligence. For a long time, Mrs. Orr, while yet in her maidenhood, was the faithful companion of her aged mother, who passed 'away in 1872. In Nov., 1874, she became the beloved wife of James Orr. and be- came joint owners by purchase of the McLain farm, Lot 19, Sixth Cont?es- sion, Emery. Through all those years Mrs. Orr was an earnest and energetic Christian worker; a regular attend, ant at Church and a studious, tactful and efficient teacher. In,Methodis1 Sabbath School at Emery, many of her Sabbath School scholars of that long ago day yet recall gratefully and rev- erently her faithful work in that con- nection. Mrs. Orr was one of the kind who never spare self when work for others was required, and indeed such work for others were apparently her delight. She was the mistress of her own house until past the age of 92 years. She was a. lover of nature and greatly delighted in her garden, her] roses carefully tended are yet remem- l, hered tar and wide by the many upon l whom they were bestowed. The mind and memory of many good pe0p1e' who pass fourscore ot years are fre- quently somewhat beclouded, but with I Mrs. Orr such a failure of powers was I never seen. Clearness of vision, sound- l ness of judgment, accuracy, reten-l tiveness of memory characterized her, every word and act to the last. Muchl sympathy is extended from many; quarters to hier husband, relatives and 1 friends. There can be no question that Mrs. Orr will has gratefully re- membered as one of nature's noble women. The well known words of Scripture, “Faithful unto Death,“ con- stitute a brief summary of that] who]? and that life will remain in the ment- ory of all who knew Mrs. Orr as " Star of Inspiration.

The McLain's purchased a farm at Lot 19 in the 6th Concession West York about the year 1830, where the subject of this sketch spent the re- mainder of her more than ‘fourscore and thirteen Years. Like other farm- er's daughters, she was a farm work- er. It is interesting to recall. that. in that early day in Canada's history, barn raising was a common thing, and when Miss Bessy McLain was present on such an occasion on a neighbor's Elizabeth McLain Orr On Friday, the 14th inst, there pass- ed away at her home near Emery Mrs. James Orr, who was by many years the oldest residentof that neigh, borhood. Many of our readers can doubtless recall the much respected McLain family, of whom she was one, of which family came to this country about the year 1827.

Campaigns for recruits for mission- ary service which are being waged now by many churchcs, is throwing new light. upon this vocation, the tol, lower of which has been popularly visualized as a timid person, wearing a top hat. splits, ministerial appearing clothes, and always lightly clutching an umbrella. ' Chin-cues Demand Efficiency Now, however, efficiency has hit the churches. They want the kind or man and woman who can most effectively meet the heathen on 'his own ground and convince hint he is wrong. Iyer. youtness and desire were the only qualifications for a missionary in the past. Now the physical and mental at- tributes ot the candidate are regards-d as important as religious convictions. To get this sort of recruits publicists for the churches art» disclosing; the real dramatic lure of the profession. Adventures of the most thrilling sort are disclosed as being cvery day oc- currences to the average pioneer in re- ligion. It is pointed out that the missionary has always been in the van guard of civilization, ahead of the expeditions the ranks of which have been filled by the appeal of promised adventure. As vewards, the mission- dry may gain the acknowledged lead- ership of communities of a loyal and loving community. v EX-(‘ONVICT “TEARS SHOES OF" PREACHER BROTHER MISSIONAKJES' Ll YES 501‘ INK-EAR.

Appropriate music was rendered by the choir. The Rector, Rev. W. C. Holdsworth, assisted by Rev. H. L. Partridge. Pastor of the Methodist Church, conducted the service, speak- ing on the duty evolved in true pat- riotism. The soldier doing his duty while on service, no matter how hum- ble the part, was a. patriot for his country. But the civilian of to-day had also his duty to perform and was called upon to fight with all his strength in the struggle of right against wrong, to defend the princi- pals of Christianity against the enemy, Greed, Graft, Immorality and Vice, which the slacker was trying to force upon the world. To play the part took courage and meant sacrifice, but unless each person was willing to be a unit in the army. doing his or her part to the best of their ability, there would be Cr). places, enabling the enemy to ga' a. foothold which would mean the overthrow of our fair Dom- inion, l strong plea was made for a remembrance of the sacrifices made and for future living worthy of these sacrifices.

Mildred Harris-Mrs. Charlie Chap- lin-strikes a. new note in the range of her artistry in "Forbidden," her first Jewel production since "Home." She is first seen as a simple-minded coun- try girl engaged to a, bucoliclswain. Then like an answer to her prayers comes Fred Worthington-handsome, wealthy, refined. But he is surfeited with the emptiness of the endless round of metropolitan pleasures while she craves it with all her soul. The entrancing story of their efforts to meet a. common ground of understand- ing is told in "Forbidden," the latest Universal Jewel release, produced by Lois Weber at the Universal studios. Mrs. Charlie Chaplin, Mildred Harris, is the star. “Forbidden” is the current attraction at the Oakwood Theatre May (list, June Ist and 2nd. In his newest photoplay, “Prisoners of the Pines," which will be seen in this city tor the first time at the Oak- wood, May 27, 28 and 29. J. Warren Kerrigan will have the part of a light-hearted, brave young French- Canadian who loves his pretty Rosalie with an affection that is sufficiently strong to make him give up his oc- cupation of trapper and adopt the more arduous work of a lurnberjaclr, that he may procure enough money to marry the fascinating young Ca- nadian girl. Kerrigan is ably and brilliantly sup- ported by Lois Wilson, Walter Perry, and by a score of other loid activi- ties. Keerrjgan has the part of Hillaire Latoure. who always has a song upon his lips and who always is ready to jump in and defend himself when the occasion arises-and in "Prisoners ot the Pines," Hillaire's' prowess if often requisitioned. “Prisoners of the Pines" is a pic- turization of Kenneth B. Clarke’s fam- ous story of the same name. The cen- tral figure. Hillaire Latour. gives Ker- rigan manifold opportunities to dis- play his tine screen artistry, oppor- tunities which he takes every advan- tage of. It is what may in allverity be called "a typical Kerrigan role", and the popular young Screen star fairly revels in the chances for ef- fective celluloid activities.

Reports of the various departments were given, all showing great activity and progress. In the financial statements the in- crease over last year was particularly noticeable. A pleasing feature of the occasion was the presentation of a purse ot $100 to the Pastor and Mrs, Partridge as a slight token of esteem and the appreciation of their work of the past four years, regrets being expressed that these connections were soon to be severed as the Pastor's term expires with this year. Before serving refreshments, which brought the meeting to a. close the following Society representatives were appoint- ed: Mr. W. T. Dalton, Mr. W. H. Mare shall, Mr. Kyle, Mr. Maginn, Mr, Thomas Sommerville, Mrs. Garbutt and Miss E. Evans.

ARMOUR HEIGHTS AIRDROME DECLARED CUSTOMS HARBOR of the lots have been sold and will be utilized for building purposes and many of the owners with projects of selling do not fe'el free to give the land, feeling they would be respon- sible tor the expense incurred by the gardeners, also on the other hand, the would-be gardeners do not care to spend time and money with a possibility of no returns. The situa- tion is rather unfortunate in face of the crying need for production and the probable scarcity of foodstuffs. Also it seems a shame to see land that for the past few years has been pro- ducing now given over to weeds. Home gardens are a factor in the H. C. of L. prices, especially in the summer veg- etables (the main proauct of these gardens), of which the demand of the past few years has tar exceeded the supply, owing to the tact that present prices ot meat, eggs, and oth.. er foodstuffs have made it impera- tive for the housewife to reconstruct the table menu, and as a result she has turned to vegetables, finding that by a proper combination of the same she can provide tor a family a. nutri- tious meal at a lower' cost than by us- ing the stronger food commodities. Especially is this the case where the families are engaged in office work or confined indoors. It is to be hop- ed that although the season is getting late, a few more of the vacant lots will be utilized for this purpose, and Weston keep up her record along pro- duction lines.
