Russell’s The members and adherents of the Methodist Church have said good by to Rev. and Mrs. Smith, who labored here and at Zion for the past four years. Ou Sunday morning last he preached a special sermon to the Independent Order of Foresters. Four years ago he preached to the same society on his last Sunday morning in Grimshy. On Sunday evening he pointed out by scriptural illustrations how God always had a man ready at the prep. er time to fill the place of another man. A practical application Was made of the thought and at this point a very kind allusion was made to the ability and dovotion of the incoming pastor, Rev. Mr. Colling, his successor in this charge. Monday evening there was a union meeting of the Junior and Se- nior Leagues and at the close Mrs. Smith was called to the platform by Master Stanley McNally when an ad- dress was read and a presentation made of some beautiful pieces of silverware. What are your friends saying On Ttesflay night at an informal! meeting in the Church Mr. Smith was ‘ presented with a gold watch and Mrs Smith with a handsome silver cake basket accompanied by the followingi addresszm ' l m yon-i" That yoqr Eff! DEAR MR. AND MRS. SMITH, Four years have passed and gone since first we met as pastor and people and now we’re forced to say Good- bye. M‘- "_' _ hair mntw you iook old? And yet, you are not forty! Postpone this looking old. g1_.oo . bottle. I .nA____.l-A- Much as we would like you to re- main a longer period the rules of our church forbid an extension of time, at least for the present. The itinerant system by which the Methodist Church is governed, has its advant- ages and its disadvantages. That a change is advantageous in some cases no one will deny, but to us just now it does seem that a prolongation of vour services would be acceptable to every member to whom you minister- ed during the past four years. with such faithful and untiring energy. Use Ayer’s Hair Vigor and restore to your gray hair all the deep, dark, rich color of early life. Then be satisfied. Farewell to Rev. Wray B. Smith. For the older people you labored assiduously for their spiritual ad- vantage and for the young people your highest aim was to inculcate the loftiest principles of truth. honesty. morality. and right living. In regard to the young the influence you have exerted, the example you have shown and the moral principles and spiritual life you have tried to instil, must have an influence in building up a higher manhood and a more \devoted womanhood to sway the sceptre of at raising generation. It is indeed with deep feelings of regret we allow you to depart from amongst us, but we hope we are im- bued with sufficient citizenship- sufficient true citizenshipâ€"do bow in humble submission to the Divine Will and yield at the same time a willing obedience to the laws of the church we profess to love so well ‘Vo hope, moreover, that the strong tie of afiection by which we are bound together as pastor and people will not impair the influence you should exert in your new field of labor nor alienate from us the afiec- tion we should transfer to the pastor who succeeds you in this particular charge. olor’to mi my M m I an gmtly null youchi land.

J. hummus. locum In parting we wish you every prosperity, and in order that you may remember us wherever your work may be, we present you, Mr. Smith with this gold watch, and trust that it may be as truthful and honest to you for many years to come as you have been cruthful and honest in your dealings with us as a people during the four years you have been amongSt us. and to you, Mrs. Smith. we present this cake basket, trust' ing that you may prize it not because of its intrinsic value. but simply be. cause of the Spirit in which it is given, a mark of 2he esteem and love in which you are held by the people amongst whom you labored in Dur- ham. Again we say goop-bye. and may God who rules and governs all things so rule and govern your lives and actions that you will hsye even greater success in the future than you have had in the past. - Signed in behalf of the Church and of the Ladies Aid.

A Hopkins man in an early day. re lates that most voracious of all Manon rl newspapers, the Hopkins Journal hauled lots of cord wood and used raw- hide harness on his teams. Rawhide. we all know, expands when wet and contracts on drying out. Well. this man was hauling an exceptionally big load one day when a thunderstorm overtook him just as he reached a long ltill lead- ing to his home. He was walking.r be aside his team that he might pay close attention to them and did not notice What the rain was doing for his raw. hide harness until the top of the long hill was reached, when to his utter amazement the wagon stood at the bot- tom of the hill, the rawhide tugs being fairly stretched into fiddle strings. He was puzzled for a moment, but just then the sun came out. and a happy idea found lodgment in his fertile brain. He unhitched the team, faso “tened the tugs securely around a big tree and went in to dinner. When he returned the sun had caused the raw- hide to contract suflicicntly to bring the wagon up that steep hill with a mo. mentum that smashed both front wheels when it came in contact with the tree around which the tugs had been fastened.

Some of them spend $10 a week with me for cigars, and others don’t spend 2.

Never Occurred to Him. “I don’t know why it is,” said Mr. Glossup as he came downstairs red eyed and sleepy and 1:109.th his guest, “but I never can get used to the strik- ing of that clock in um 100m. “It has such a loud. insistent ‘bang’ when it strikes the hours that it wakes me up nearly every time. We’ve had it in the house two or three years, but I can’t become accustomed to it. “’6 would have put it in the attic long ago, only it’s a present from my wife’s mother, and that would never do. Good clock, too, aside from that, but it wor- ries me nearly to death.
