Macfarlane, town agent. In a recent sermon in Buffalo, Billy Sunday is reported to have said: "Lots of churches are going wrong in their financial ‘policy. It is a shame that the churches have to resort to tricks that would shame the devil in order to filch a quarter out of a fellow’s pocket to pay the preacher’s back salary.” There need be no fear of overâ€" production for the next two or three years, and the prices for food- stufi's will continue high. There is danger of a scarcity this year, and it behooves everyone to make use of the soil at his ' disposal. The high cost of living is likely to- go higher, and a united efl'ort .is neâ€" cessary to cope with it. '7' UL. 50â€"N0. 2612 Mrs. 'i‘hns.

WHELAN CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING W0 congratulate Mr. and MW. '1‘. R. Whelan. who celebrated their golden wedding on Monday last. As both are still active, cheerful, and of youthful disposition, they differ from many who have reached the golden wedding day. They are well preserved, both physically and mentally, and we have every reason to believe, and hope they may yet be spared for many years. Mr“. Whelan is 74 years of age, and Mrs. Whelan has just, turned 70. He was born in the township of McGillivray, in the county of Midâ€" dlesex, and Mrs. Whelan was born in Merrickville, down near Ottawa. How they wandered from their respectixe places of birth, and met and mated in Mt. Forest when she was about 20 years of age, is someâ€" thing we didn’t enquire about. On the 19th of March, in 1867. the marriage vows were taken, the officiating clergyman being Rev. Mr. Knox, an Episcopal Methodist minister. and the marriage was celebrated at the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Put- nam, at seven o’clock in the mm, at seven o’clock in the morn- ing. The same day. they started on a honeymoon trip. but Guelph was the nearest railway, and they drove there in a buggy, and took the train to Merr‘ickville. where they spent a month amongst her relatives. On. returning, they started home-making in the town- ship of Arthur, five miles below Mt. 5L1; I'LCd ship of Forest. To them were born six children, four sons and two daughters, three of whom survive: John P., manager of the Arcade, Hamilton, Alfred, in Kansas, and Mrs. Charles Urquhart, of Port Credit. Alfred was unable to be present at the golden wedding but telegraphed his regrets, and congratulations. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. \V’helan. and daughter, Norma, and 311s. Urquhart and daughter, May, u. re present at the ceremony. The onlx other guests were Rev. and Mrs Moyer. Mr. Urquhart is a bank manager, and owing to scarcity of help, was unable to be present. The presents consisted of an eb- ony goae-dldhde shrdlu XZ@lbâ€" «my gold-headed cane to Mr. Wheâ€" lnn. and a beautiful gold brooch with an amethyst setting to Mrs. \\'helan. Besides, the happy cou- ple were the recipients of a number Hl' other valuable articles, and sev- oral gold coins. The cane, of which Mr. Whelan is justly proud,, has a beautiful monogram engraving, as well as the years 1867 and 1917. On the wedding cake, too, the same dates were shown. Mr. and Mrs. Whelan have been msidents of this town for more than thirty years, and we are sure we voice the sentiments of the whole community in Wishing them many years of continued health and prosâ€" pcrity. A SOCIAL EVENING On Tuesday evening the basement of the Methodist church had. a packed audience at a social enter- tainment given by the Ladies’ Aid. A good musical and literary pro- gram had been provided, and at the close a dainty luncheon was served. The time spent was fully enjoyed, and all seemed satisfied with the entertainment. maple of solos by Mr. \listele; at I“! 1Lat10n by 31155 Merle LlVlIlg-l stun; a solo by Miss Florence Bar-l tiny; an instrumental duet by: .‘EEASCS F. and J.

She is a young girl, not] over 16 or 17, and may be looked upon as a rising star in the elocutionary profession.
