GOVEERIE" DEER SECURED POE WILDER’S LAKE PARK .Tuo-yur-old Buck Brought From Inc-nit Sanctuary Last Week. Dc. Jamieson is gradually adding to his menagerie at Wilder’s Lake Wk and it the good work keeps up nay 80011 be a competitor with the .mngling Bros. 01‘ the Charlie Sparks shows. Mr. A. G. McComb has an advert- tlsement in this issue and will Open a new store on Saturday morning next. We hope his venture may be a success and that he as well as the other merchants may be able to of- fer inducements to turn the trade this way. Competition is keen and these days of rapid transportation facilities there is a tendency to so long distances to do ordinary shop- ping. Giving people what they want and at right prices is one of the best methods of building up a business. IcCOIB’S NEW STORE OPENS ON SATURDAY There is room enough for all if the trade that belongs here comes this way. Judicious advertisiiig is one of the great essentials, but advertisers gust live up to their promises. Icfarlane Stand Next Royal Bank Leased For Term of Years. Professor Kierstatlt‘s address was remarkable for its perfect English and will long he remembered by those who heard him. True. his address was of a nature that could not be graSped unless followed close- ly. but. we think we am- within our rights in saying that it ranks among: the best addresses ever given to a Durham audience. The Professor reviewed both the material and spiritual reasons why mankind should return thanks to God on such an occasion as this and illustrated hi~' remarks with several oral illustrations of a most convinc- “1;: nature. Fram the. material standpoint. the professor referred to Hn- radio, the telephone, the tel- eswnw. the vast transportation faâ€" cilities and such like as God's meth- mi of broadening man's outIOok and increasing his knowledge. As it apâ€" peared to us, though we may be wrong. the idea the professor wished to convey that all these great in- wntions of man were not really horn of man aloneâ€"it was God, speaking through some individual. and ac- quainting man with the greatness of everything around him and giving him the necessary implements the better to understand.

THANKSGIVING SERVICES WERE WELL ATTENDED “What denomination has shown you the most sympathy in your work?” “The Methodists and Baptists general and the Anglican church Western Ontario.” “Constancy and courage are de- manded of me, so I am what I am to stay, and of course my greatest ser- mon is to live the life.” “Yes, but after some of these heard me they thought differently.” “Is there any truth that you were going to join another denominat- ion?” “On Monday morning last I made formal application in writing.” In an interview with The Hamil- ton Herald, Mr. Maloney was asked : “Are you still a Presbyterian?" “Yes, I am, and hope to die one.” “Has there been any disposition of opposition on the part of some leading Presbyterians towards your lectures on Roman Catholic doo- trines?” "I have no-wr made application to :my l‘n'o‘st),\‘tui'y for admittance to any college. Several of my Toronto friends wanted me to start at the mllege in question a year ago, At that time I called on Dr. Gandier and he received me well, agreeing that I should take time and weigh mx way. and I have carried on sin- cerely, and last Sunday made my final decision, which is that I will study for the ministry and, believe me, there is no happier moment in my life than when I am doing God’s work in the interest of truth.

On the farm of his son-in-law he saw 67% bushels threshed in 20 minutes and similar outputs were not unusual. In Manitoba, where he was the crops were very poor and he learns the whole province is hav- ing a bad year, the yield being small and quality poor.

He was the founder and owner of the East India Medicine Company, and for years had medicine companies on the road latterly travelling under the name of De Alva’s British Entertainers. Mr. Sutherland to his friends was a prince of good fellows and his death will be learned with regret. He was born in Galt 53 years ago, and some years ago married Miss Eva Sutherland of Durham, by whom he is stirvivcd. Mr. Suther- land all his life was active in M3. sonic circles.- being affiliated with the Remeses Temple, Toronto. He was the 13th oldest member of the Mystic Shrine in Canada.

DIED LAST FRIDAY WITH BABE IN ARMS This congregation has had a long and honorable history and, under the able leadership of able ministers J such as Rev. '1‘. D. McCullough, and Rev. W. Pearcey, played an import- ant part in the religious life and work of the presbytery in the town of Harm'ston and vicinity. Circum- stances ha\e arisen which lime made it impossible for the congre- gation to continue. The presby tery i regretfully recognize the necessity of acceding to the request of the congregation, and in granting per- mission to disband expressed its Sympathy for the members of the congregation who have worked un- til‘ingly for thccontinuance of this church. The passing of a historic congre- gation is a matter of great regret, and a feeling of sadness was evi- denced by those present at this meeting by the decision given, es- pecially by those Who have spent their religious life at this place of worship. A local committee was appointed by the presbytery to hold the property in the meantime, sub- ject to the board of trustees of the Presbyterian Church in Canada.
