Harris. of. this town, and a native and resident of this vicinity until a few years ago. He owned and conducted a drug busi- ness in Fort \Villiam and was doing a good trade. On \Vednesday he felt unwell and took a bromo selser after which he died very suddenly. This is one of the effervescing drinks frequent- ly taken, with no ill effects, but whet- her or not this particular vial contain- ed any poisenous ingredient we are unable to say, and the particulars of analysis of sample sent to Toronto have not yet been learned here. The body was taken home by Mr. Douglas Sut- herland a brother Mason, and inter- ment took place Sunday afternoon to the Durham ("emetery under the aus- pices of the Masons of which he was a member. The deceased young man was twenty-four years of age and held in the very highest esteem by all who knew him. The distressed mother, and Sisters have the heartfelt sym- pathy of the whole community in the severe affliction they are now suffer- ing. Mrs, MeRae left here only a few years ago and we understand was keep- ing house for her son when the accid- ent oeeurled. Amongst those from a distance who attended the burial We mention Douglas Sutherland, of Fort )Villiam, Mr. George Rutherford, of Hamilton, Messrs. Andrew and John Turner, of Orangeville, Mr. Harold Hill of Markdale, Mr. Hughes, of To- l'nutu. .‘J 1'5. Gibbs of Parxdale, Miss Georgina McRae, Parkdale, Mrs. Mc- Alpine, Toronto and Mr. \Vxn.

What Will They Say in England v? C. MCKINNON. O 0.. .u On Sunday, Mr. Ross preached to large congregations both morning and evening. The morning subject, Christ master of the situation. was from the words “He, himself, knew what he would do.” The preacher rapidly and skilfully reviewed the different situa- tions in the life 01’ Christ and showed that he was master on every occasion, master in every situation in which he was placed, master of himself, of men, of circumstances, of disease, of life, of death, that he was the same “ yes- terday, today and forever” and there- ? fore when He stood with his people to- day he enabled them to have like mas- tery. The sermon was earnest, elo- quent, forceful, well illustrated, thor- oughly evangelical and will not soon be forgotten. In the evening he preached from Ex. 25 : 40â€"“Look that thou make them after their pattern which was showed thee inthe mount.” After showing the necessity for follow- ing the Divine pattern in the building of the Tabernacle, he showed that Christ was our pattern, the Divine Ideal for a human life, and that the same obligation was laid upon us to seek in humble dependence upon the Divine Spirit, the ideal of the Christ life in ourselves. Therein only could man attain to his God-purposed des-I tiny. The sermon was no-whit be- hind that of the morning and was listened to with attention and profit. It would be difficult to describe adequately the lecture. Suffice to say it was grave and gay, dignified and impressive, filled with great thoughts to inspire to higher life and nobler achievment and punctured with suf- ficient humor to make it exceedingly entertaining. The audience lived over again the thrilling experiences of the undying Pilgrim. Votes of thanks to the lecturer and the choir were heartily accorded and another pleasant and profitable anni- versary season was brought to a close by the national anthem. o IF you want the‘ very newest. in hats and ties. call on Flarity.

Before proceeding with his lecture Mr. Ross c(:)Iig1'atlilnted the congre- gation upon the evidences of progress seen since he was here in the late eighties, and especially upon leaving in Mr. li‘arquharson a thoroughly scholarly, progressive and devoted pastor. He then rapidly sketched the history of the stirring times in which Bunyan lived, the birth, youth, life and work of Bunyan himself, and the legacy that he left humanity in his immortal dreamâ€"The Pilgrim’s Pro- gress.

The individual numbers by Mr. Drysdale and Miss Crawford and a duett by Mr. Drys- dale and Miss Munro were especially fine. The tender sweetness of Miss Crawford’s solo seemed to form a fitting prelude to the lecture of Mr. Ross on “John Bunyan. the Immortal Dreamer.” Mr. Ross was introduced by a few well chos’En and reminiscent remarks by Mr. Farquharson, who re- viewed v‘ery briefly the changes that took place in the congregation since Rev. \Vm. Park was inducted to the charge forty-five years ago. He re- ferred with feeling to the fact that but few of those who were present at that first induction were now with us. The burden had fallen upon other shoulders, for the work of the church must go on till the final roll-call to the New Kingdom is heard upon earth. Mrs. Schooley and her little grand- son, Joe Whitchurch returned after a. few weeks visit with Stratford friends. The Pmsbyterian Anniversary ser- vices have become a fixed and looked- for event, not only by the Presbyter- ians themselves, but by the other (le- nominations as well. The pastor and session always endeavor to secure a preacher and lecturer for the occasion whose fame has gone “ abroad into all the land” and this year the congre- gation was favored by the presence of Rev. John Ross, of Brussels. ANNIVERSARY SERVICES. DURHAM, 0.. '., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1904. Listen to the Review man talking of turncoats. His experience should qualify him to talk well on the subject for a more wobbling political weather- cock than the same Charlie Ramage can’t be found in South Grey. Again he sneeringly refers to "Mr. George Taylor, or some one of his intellectual calibre,” and in his own peculiarly insulting style tries to belittle Mr. McKinnon. Anything Conservative is enough to let loose the uptown jumping Jack, and when once going he lacks either the sense or the judg- mentto know when to stop. THE CHRONICLE never indulged in mean personalities about Mr. Morgan, Dr. Landerkin nor Mr. Binnie, nor shall we now say a bad word against Mr. Miller, whom we always regard as a gentleman, but the party he represents deserves very little credit, for the host of broken promises and unredeemed pledges. The Review man would like to in- fluence the electors by saying McKin- non was a Grit at one time. As near as we could figure it out he was a Grit about the same time the Review man was a Grit, Patron. Equal Righter and a Grit again. \Vhat about Sir Richard Cartwright and a number of other good men who figured in the Liberal party after leaving the ranks of the Tories. \Vhat about D’Israeli, Glad- stone and others. \Vere they not good men as goodness goes in politics and yet they departed from their original faith. These men changed on principle, and before the up town Editor begins throwing sluss at any one for his political wobbling he should rake a few cobwebs from his own eyes and see clearly what funny things will be revealed on taking a retrospective peep into his own political mirror. Laurier bounced the “ foreigner ” and the foreigners have a chance noiv to bounce Laurier. Candidate Miller never saw any- thing so fierce round a print shop as THE CHRONICLE gander. He’s a sav- age looking bird, and being loose now till after the election it isn’t safe for Grit politicans to come within a hun- dred yards of the place. Mr. Miller knowing this sent his dad down last week with a gun to despath the voracious creature, but missing his aim and only ruflling the feathers the bird is worse than ever and it’s hard work to control him. \Ve’ll do our best to protect Mr. Miller, but fearing the risk of an encounter we’ll warn him to come prepared. I’m not very particular about my nationality, but I’m anxious to select the one that will catch the most votes. An Irish mother and Scotch grand- mother ought to be a good drawing card if I know anything of human nature in South Grey. But then there’s the German vote to be reck- oned with, and if I could only make- believe that my grandfather was Pennsylvania Dutch I’d have another good string to pull. \Vho knifed Dundonald because he was a “ foreigner?” The ()ohden medal 1mm seems to have gone out of sight. He may be. “gone but no forgotten.” “If Lord Dundonald is a foreigner, so am I” said an irate Scotchman. I’m a “furriner” too said the Irish- man, and “ Dot ish purty mudch vare I am (100 ” said a Nurmanby voter. Remember Dundunald whom Sir \Vilfrid Laurier called a “foreigncrf A contributor to the Review has been hunting up the meaning of “gander,” and the highly intellectual critic was goose enough to admit that he had to consult VVebster’s Diction- ary for it. I wish THE CHRONICLE would call off his gander till after the election. The pesky thing is making such a racket that a lot of the electors won’t know that I didn’t have a. step-grand- mother. - I thought that old shirt I wore in 1891 was worn out long ago, but, by gum, it’s trotted out again and the stains are just about as bad as ever. I Wish those blame Tories would for- get some things. POLITICAL SAVINGS. HEARD ON THE STREET. $1.00 PER YEAR.
