At the close of the lecture, Rev. Mr, Farquharson, Presbyterian nIinisteI, was called upon for a few words. As on former occasions, he was pleased to he with the Baptists, and share with them in their prosperity. He also complimented the lecturer, whom he knew well, as they were stationed hehadcharge of. and moved him a h-ty vote of thanks for the excellent Whom given them. Betelt 'f, -themanwhowmapeatm' Durham, Feb. 9, 1905. In the afternoon he took for his dis- course, "My l’eare l (iive Unto You.” The evening service drew a crowd that filled both auditorium and school room to their utmost capacity. Mr. O'Neill nevertlisappoints anyone, and he held the rapt attention of his hear- ers {or about an hour by his soul stirring midi-ms. He. took for his text "The Perfect Man." The choir assisted at all the services and render- ed appropriate music. On Monday evening Mowing. Rev. J. O'Neill gave his famous lecture, ; “Around m Campfire.” (“ml in Durham, as a rule, draw very poor hmues, but not so on this occasion. The auditorium was comfortably filled with an appreciative audience. The lecturer, who is always good at “lec- turing,” was at his best this night. and Mr! no difficulty in keeping his listen- cs in need spirits, while he seasoned Hskctnre with his bright wit. It is with agood deal of pride and .tisfaction, that our Baptist friends of this town speak of the second anni- versarv, of their neat and artistic chapel, which was held on Sunday. On this occasion, they had that gifted ”char, Rev. J. O’Neill, pastor of the ' Paisley Baptist Church, with them, and as he is a “big” fellow, they used him well, allowing him to take the three services during the day. All were delighted to be permit- ‘ ted to listen to one oszrey’s old boys, ‘ â€"â€"one who is a credit to the county for his oratory. Mr. O’Neill’s discourse in the morning was based {on 1 Cor. 10:13. The speaker, before entering into his subject, made a few introduc- tory remarks. He said thatzit aflord- ed him great pleasure tosee so many of his old friends, and that it was al- ways a pleasure tn come‘tolhis native town, for no matterj‘where he was situated, no place seemed so much like home as the historic town of Dur- ham. He complimented the Baptists for their enterprisejn building so cosy a chapel. and it showed that they were keeping abreast of the times. Turning to his subject, Mr. O’Neill gave a very pathetic talk on pioneer life, contrasting the. privileges of to- day with those of fifty years ago.

Touching reference was made to the death in W’innipeg of Rev. A. G. Jansen, a tormer pastor of the congregation. The number of deaths was unusually large, fifteen names being recorded in the scroll of mourning. A very interesting bit of information. which shows the (unre- mitting activity demanded of the Das- Improvements to the basement of the. Church were made during the year at a cost of about $240. A special anniversary offering and a large con- tribution from the Guild defrayed the greater part of this expenditure. A more modern equipment and greater comfort for all church meetings and for the Sunday School are the result. The total contributions for all pur- poses during the year were ӣ5. This surely speaks well for the llWa taken in the work and the unbroken harmony which has prevaileti during; the year. The work of the year must prove highly satisfactory to the esteemed pastor, Mr. Farquharson, and to the people at large for it was one of the most successful in the history of the congregation. Not only was the in- creased salary of the Pastor met and $100 paid as a gratuity for 1903, but several special items of expenditure, not anticipated in the estimates, were paid out of the general fund. leaving over all a {handsome balance or the right side. The collections for Missions were over $400. the largest in the history of the congregation.

That was the way Mr. P‘arquharson telt in speaking of the lecturer. Mr. N. W. Campbell, I. P. 8., seconded the motion, and madea few remarks. He, also, was well acquainted with Mr. O’Neill, as both lived side by side on farms in Bentinck. Mr. Campbell was loud in his praise of the lecture and lecturer.

Wishing Ye Editor. and all my Durham friends a happy and prosper- ous New Year. I remain, The DURHAM CHRONICLE la still like aletter from home, and I enclose two dollars. which you will please place to my cvedit, and send it along as before. My Spare time has been spent in here in valuating and selling land. in assisting people in selecting good homesteads. and in doing so I have become well acquainted with the country, andI am convinced that some day it will be foremost among the wheat growing and mixed farm- ing countries of the West. We have had beautiful weather in here; have not had a. Storm thie win- ter, and we have barely enough sncw for good sleighing. We had no sleighing either this year or last, till after the New Year. I’m teaching in the only school in the Elbow country. It was built and opened a year after the country was settled. There have been five or six new districts organized during this year, and building operations will commence earlyin the spring Almost all the town sites have buildings. and places of business opened. although they are still un- surveyed. It is almost impossible to obtain a homestead anywhere near the line. and many settlers are back as far as twenty miles from the rail road. No good land can be bought under 88 an acre, and land was sold in here during the summer as high as $15 an acre. The main line of the C. N. R. is graded through here for msnv miles pa st Battleford. end the steel is at the Elbow. A monster steel bridge three-fourths of a mile long ifibeing constructed across the North branch of the Saskatchewan at that point. The fslse work will be completed so so to let the steel gang proceed on this side of the river. in the course of s week. They hove the bridgelit up by electricity. and ere working night ‘nd d.yt _ I came into the Elbow; country in July 1903. looked over the country and chose my homestead, which was not yet surveyed. I put up a shack and had some breaking done. At that time there were nut more than twenty settlers between the Elbow and Battleford, fifty miles. Now there are more than three hundred families get their mail at Gt. Bend alone, and there are three other post ofices here. Desr Sir,â€"As several of my friends from Durhsm and vicinity have written to me shout this part of the West, I have decided to write a short letter, which I trust you will give space in the columns of your paper. Editor Damn): CHRONICLE: TO CURB A COLD IN ONE DAY I feel that I must express my sincere gratitude to the citizens of Durham and vicinity, for the very kind way in which they treated me during the illness of my late husband.

After the meeting, tea was served in the basement to all and sundry by the ladies in their usual happy man- ner, after which a short program of music by the choir and appropriate addresses by Rev’s Calling and New- ton brought an unusually pleasant meeting to a close.
