REV. MR. WHALEY PRESENTED WITH PURSE l}: attitude of his position. Fnurthly. that last Christmas he had received the best Christmas gift any Christian man man could get in the world. and instead of Selfishly keeping that gift to himself. he had brought her to this peogile that her angel minis: trations as well as her human sympathy and helpfulness would be a blessing to all. CO-nsidering those four chm'ges proved, Mr. Campbell then addâ€" ed. “Since a man is only half a man Without his better half. I ask Mrs. Whaley to come u'p and support you in this, your hour of trial.” This was done. and 312' Cam‘nbpll nroceeded. “To mete- Campbell proceeded. “To mete out punishment adequate to these very m-rinus offences is a diffi- cult thing. and I regret. this congregation regrets. that we cannot make the punishment heavier than it is. Since we cannot make it a timber limit. or a pulpmmd reservation. or astreet railway franchise, or agold mine, we make it the next best avail- able thing. and. therefore. in the name of this congregation, T sentence you to accept this nurse of gold as a small token of our {dismleasurc and (ill)\\'ill.” Mr. Campbell then, in the name of the congregation, extended to both Mr. and Mrs. Whaiey the -:fficial felicitations and the warmest personal welcome and congratulations of all and ex- pressed the hope that they 'would be able to live happily amongst us and be blessed abundantly in the work which God had laid to their hand. He concluded with the words, “You are now permitted to Speak in your own defence.” The purse was then handed to Mrs. Whaley amid a storm of ap- plause. Mr. Whaley, after some little hesitation, replied fittingly and x'elicitously, somewhat as follows: He was pleased to speak in be- half of himself and his wife. But he had not time to make an ade- quate defence against such serious charges. To the last charge he at once pleaded guilty. and made some happy references to the manifold kindnesses ex- tended to Mrs. Whaley and him- self by one and all. Instead. of be- ing treated as strangers they were received with open arms and with full hearts they could but f;‘t‘bl}' express their appreciation and thankfulness. To the second and third charges he would also in a measure plead guilty. He hoped that always he would be; able to preach what God nad giv- en him to say, without bitterness and without personal bias towards any man or any side except truth. To the first charge he would not plead guilty. There was all the difference in the world be- tween being driven to work like a slave, and being drawn to work through the kindness and love of his people. Everywhere he had met such open-hearted kindness that he felt it was a genuine pleasure to make the aCQuaintanCe of all. He therefore was glad of the Opportunity which this occa- sion presented of thanking them one and all, sincerely and heartily, DURHAM FEBRUARY 4. 1914. “E D‘J?“.l?f on behalf of himself and Mrs. Whaley not only for this latest expression of their thoughtfulness but for all the kindnesses he had received at their hands smce he had come_amongst they). _ His kindly words called forth a pleasant clap of approving ap- plause, which bespoke a happy and successful pastorate. 59.

WARDEN CALDER’S RECEPTION In order to express their appre-. ciation of Mir.

The program consisted of a num- ber of fine selections by the band, 0 Canada as a quartette by Mr. Telford. Mr. Harding, Mrs. A W'. H. Lauder and Miss Zeta Black: a duet by Messrs. Telford and Harding. a couple of Well chosen and Well rendered readings bv Mr. E. D. McClocklin, a quintette by Mrs. Lauder, Misses Wilson and Black and Messrs.

Rowe of the City Bakery proving him- self an able caterer for such oc- casions. The hall was then cleared and an hour or so was spent by all who wished to indulge in a social dance. A good feeling per- vaded the whole meeting and everything passed off nicely. CONGREGATIC-NAL MEETING Continued from page 1 of new questions not included in them. The meeting was in entire good humor, for the reports showed that all departments of the church‘s work were in a flourish- ing condition and the note of hopefulness for greater things in the futuu; “finch pervaded a“. was encouraging to pastor and people. The. financial success of the year. the war year. is excep- tionally gratifying. For the first time in many years the congregaâ€" tion is entirely free from debt. The manse is paid for. the organ is paid for, and the contributions have increased considerably all along the line. The total for all purposes for the year. though not all reported. Was over 34.000200. It is hoped that some needed im- provements long deferred. will during the current year receive deserved attention. It is hoped also that the congregation will measure up to a higher level in supporting and maintaining its 'rightful share of the budget re- quired to finance the church as a '-.\'hole. 2 The new managers appointed for the next‘ three years, are: Messrs. Robert Macfarlane, J. J. Smith, Wm. Weir and Thomas 'I‘u‘rnbull. During the year, offers were made for the purchase of the manse property, but the congre- gation, by a practically unani- mous vote, decided to retain the property as part of the posses- sions of the church. The disposal of the church glebe was left a charge of the Board of Managers. Hearty votes of thanks Were passed to the choir, the ushers. and the ladies’ aid, and the meet- ing adjourned to the basement, Where a social tea, which had been prepared and arranged bv the ladies, Was partaken of with undoubted satisfaction by all and sundry. This over, _Mr. Allan was voted to the chair, and an excel- lent program of musical selec- tions by members of the choir and icongregation, and addresses in a happy, humorous vein by Rev. Mr Morris and Rev. Mr Wylie. was rendered. Regret was expressed that Rev. Mr Prudham, who was present earlier in the evening. was unable to remain, owing to his Young People’s meeting the same evening. Wednesday, February 3, bv Rev. 8 MI.

Prince Metteruit-h. prime minister to the emperor of Austria, was once ask- ed under what circumstances had Na- poleon. whom he had often met. given him the most striking impression of prestige and sovereignty. it was, he said, one morning at Compiegne. when they returned from a drive in the for- est. They returned to the castle about noon. The emperor. leaning his back against the chimney. chatted with his guests while awaiting the summons to lunch. There were a number of per- sonages and members of the imperial family present. Napoleon began to feel the pangs of hunger. so he turned to Murat. "King of Spain, go and see why we do not lunch." The emperor resumed his argument, but the delay wsa still prolonged He grew impa- tient and. turning to the other side. he said, "King of Holland. try to find out whether we are to lunch today I” Met- ternich had never before seen an em- porer send kings to the pantry to has- ten a meaI.â€"Baltimore Star.

A little story of one of his German campaigns illustrates his rare scrupulousrwss. even in time of war. The authorities of Frankfort believed. from the movements of his army. that he intended passing through their territory. They sent a deputa- tion to him which offered him a large sum of money if he would alter the di« rection of his march and leave Frank- fort unmolested. They were surprised in more way than one by his answer. “Gentlemen.” said he. “my conscience will not permit me to accept your mon- ey. for I have never intended to lead my army through your town." Rank In the Cabinet. “Do some members of the cabinet occupy a higher position or receive a higher salary than others? If not. why do the secretary of state and sec- retary of the treasury always head the list?" asks a reader of the Indianapo- lis News. which replies: “They all re- ceive the same salary, but they are usually named in the order that the positions were created-the secretary of state. 1789: war. 1789: treasury. 1789; postoflice. 1794; navy, 1798; in- terior. 1849; justice. 1870; agriculture. 1889; commerce and labor, 1903: de partment of labor separated in 1913.

We were both of an artistic makeup, and there is nothing mOre pleasing than the companionship of one with con- genial tastes. We sauntered through the galleries of that artistic city and admired the works of art together. Then. tOO. there is something unify- lng to kindred spirits in being thrown together in a foreign country. Amet- lca to Americans on the other side at the Atlantic ocean seems so far. The customs of those countries are so dif- ferent from ours. They seem so old; we so new. It is this that draws Americans abroad together who would live for years next door to each other and never form an acquaintance. These meetings betWeen fellow coun- trymen of opposite sex frequently end in love affairs, and such was the case with Margaret and me. But my suit was not successful. Whether this was due to Margaret or the influences brought to bear upon her I did not know. At any rate, I returned to my home, leaving my heart in Florence, and I realized that I would never get it back again. On my voyage home the stateroom opposite me was occupied by a young man who had gone abroad for his health and, having failed in his quest. was coming back to die. There was no one on board whose business it was to minister to him. and the duty fell to me. I became very much attached to him. and he seemed grateful for my attentions. More than that. he seemed to love me as a brother. I told him of my disappointment. and he seemed to be regretful for me. He tried to comfort me by telling me that he had a feeling deep down in his heart that Margaret and I would meet again and that all would be changed. “She loves you," he said. “I know it. When she refused you it was contrary to her inclinations. She will return to America much changed. Her circum- stances will he different. Instead of refusing to listen to your suit she will be glad to lean upon you, happy and relieved to be loved by you.” He seemed so earnest. so sure, in what he said that I was greatly surprised. Could it be that to one so near death had been imparted something of that knowledge of future events we are prone to attribute to those who have passed the portal of eternity? The thought occurred. but I did not really believe it. My friend lingered till we reached the coast. Then he said that it he could be spared through the brief jour- ney that remained to him to his home he would be content to die. I accom- panied him and spent with him the few days he lived after being again un- der his own rooftree. The day he died he was. or seemed to me to be. deliri- “I see men marching," he said. “hundreds, thousands. millions. They are like fields of wheat. A mowing machine is passing through them, and they are falling just as I have seen the grain tall in the fields of a summer day. People are fleeing before them. Some are peasants; some are gentle- tolks; some are without a roof to cover them; some are starving; some are strangers in that land and, being cut ofl.’ from home and friends, have no one to care for them.” At this point his voice sank to mur- murings. and I understood 119 more. I had left Italy early in the spring, and when my friend died the leaves had not yet put forth their buds. I was busily engaged. but not so much so as to recover from my disappointment. My mind during the day constantly re- verted to she who I felt was my nat ural mate. and the nights were dreary without her. Late In July there came like thunder~ claps out of a clear sky declarations of war all over Europe. Hundreds of thousands of Americans were stranded there. All. or nearly all, were cut 03 not only from their homes. but from the wherewithal to meet their necessi- ties. Naturally I thought of Margaret. for I had seen no announcement of her return. I would have filled my pockets with gold and gone to seek her that I might supply her necessities, but I realized that I would be unable to find her and would not likely be able to reach her if I knew, where she was. All I knew of her whereabouts was that she had left Italy. for it was not intended when I parted with her to remain there after the spring opened. Own-v..- vâ€"vâ€" ' Since 1 could not go to her I waited for her to come to me. Something told -v- me that my lost friend’s words would come true. When a steamer bringing Americans from Europe came in I was on the dock and watched eagerly those who came down the gangplank. One day l was at my post as a steamer docked. and as she swung around to back into the pier I caught sight of a pale. haggard girl standing on the deck. "I rushed to the gangplank. but was ordered away. I waited while the throng of sufferers left the ship. My eye was on Margaret. but she did not see me In the crowd on the dock. As she stepped on the gangplank I caught her in my arms. Looking up. she rec ognized me and broke into tears of joy.
