The death of Mrs. Peter Black of Egremont which occurred in Dur- ham Red Cross Hospital on Friday of last week was a shock to her many friends in this vicinity, and especially in her own neighborhood where she was so well and lavor~ ahlv known. She was in her 68th year. having been born in Egremont 0n the 18th of January, 1859, and a continuous resident there up to the time of her death. Mrs. Black’s maiden name was Elizabeth Chap- man. her parents. the late Mr. and Mrs. William Chapman having been pioneer residents of Egremont. In l879 the subject of this sketch was married to Mr. Peter Black, who surViVes. and who, feeling his great loss keenly. is the recipient 0f the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Since marriage. “1'. and Mrs. Black have resided in the same neighborâ€" hood on the second concession near the town line between Egremont and Glenelg. where they were much es- ‘1” “it‘ti and enjoyed the respect, of a wide eirele of friends.

With many illustrations drawn from travel and‘ study, he showed the obligation of the mem- Aâ€"nAln-A‘A DIIUWL_‘_. U'llJ U”..C’ vvvvvv bership of the church to propagate its message. But as this message needed the training of mind of the messenger as certainly as in the case of the doctor or the lawyer, it becomes the duty of the church to see that its ministers are carefully trained. The three uniting churches had been interested in colleges and secmidary schools, so that upon their union. there are twenty-seven of these institutions of learning, ap- proximately 300 professors and teachers and 7,000 students.

Mr. Schenk had gone to Elmira Frida afternoon to attend the El- mira- urham hockey match and was unaware of the occurrence un- til he stepped ofl‘ the train Saturday noon. Though badly overcome, Mrs. Schenk and Mrs. Lang, who stayed with her that night, were able to summon assistance. and we are pleased to know that all are con- siderably improved and rapidly re.- covering, though they still feel the affects of their uncanny experience.

Durham Scores first Durham’s forward line never worked better, and it Friday‘s game is any criterion, it looks. as though the local sextet has at last hit its stride, and from now on will give battle to the best of them. There was no over-skating the puck. no misjudging the pass. and with a three- and at times four-man com- bination, the Elmira team was dazed at the territle pace and seemed un- able to help themselves at times.
