Immediately after graduation he went overseas and contracted â€" tuberculosis, and while not rugged has made a successful fight against the disease., Many of the poems contain much beauty and poetic insight.

Mr David Robinson started a real live discussion when he inquired at the beginning of his speech, if each candidate would state his stand on the question of ‘Statute Labor,‘ the result being that each and every candidate expressed himself in no uncertain terms. Messrs Brodie and McKechnie thought the present sysâ€" tem was best, while the remainder of the candidates expressed themselves favoring the abolition. Mr John O‘Neil in an eloquent adâ€" dress wanted the candidates to get down to bed rock and state the why and wherefore of the new system. Mr Patrick Fogarty warned againgt giving away what little controlling power we now had of Township afâ€" fairs to Government officials. Messrs Twamley and Campbell, both Bentâ€" inck residents, very graciously gave a brief outline of how the new sysâ€" tem worked in Bentinck.

A., of Galt Collegiate staff, and home at present on his vacation, addressed the Young Men‘s Club of Knox Church Wednesâ€" day night on "University Life in the Middle Ages." Union Services Four Sundays The last call came rather unexâ€" pectedly about midnight Tuesday to Mrs Andrew Scott at her home on Queen St. in her 82nd year. She has been in poor health from heart troub le since March last, but was up fora few hours daily and was about the house the day previous. During her illness she has been most affectionately cared for by her only surviving daughter Elizabeth, with whom she made her home. The deceased was born on the Isiâ€" and of Tiree, Scotland, in 1845, comâ€" ing to Canada with her parents when but four years old. Her mother died shortly after, and with the exception of one winter with her father in Glenâ€" elg, she spent girlhood days with her uncle. In 1865 they came to Bruce Co. and after a year in Culâ€" ross, she came to Durham, and four years later was wedded to Andrew Scott, by his brother, Rev. James Scott, her maiden name being Annie McDonald. _ They took up residence on the old homestead, lot 65, con 3, Glenelg, where her husband passed away eight years ago. The past six years she with her daughter Lizzie, has resided in Durham. To them were born a family of eight, three children dying in infancy. Mrs Jas. Buchanan (Christena), Marâ€" garet, Samuel and Annie also predeâ€" ceased hér, Miss Elizabeth alone surâ€" viving. Her only grandson, Wm. Buchanan of Holland Centre, came here Wednesday. . She was the oldâ€" est and last of her immediate family circle. Che Durhim Reirw. O. $. Hunter read the finance items which showed the Industrial position of Durham, not all satisfactory but our industries are doing well and he believed our town was going to do better. J. F. Grant Began by flattering the financial statement and spoke forcibly‘ of the necessities of the High School. He pointed out the unanimity of the Board in their desire and predicted that if the byâ€"law were defeated, the ‘rate will soar and before many years citizens would be asking the Board to act. . He compared conditions in 1915 and 1926. Then we had all the outlay, now we get 80 per cent. He made it clear that the enlargement would tend to reduce our taxes, and he clinched the necessity by reading from the Inspector‘s Reports, all of which recently point out the lack of accommodation. The present school Mayor Murdock took the platform first and was pleased to see the large attendance. He dealt with the bridge and other~ council efforts such as Queen St. wall, etc. Efforts of the Council were making Durham the "most beautiful town on the map" and he was given applause. He was against a Sinking Fund which he deâ€" scribed as "paying for something you would never get benefit of." He stressed the point that the Council controlled only 14 mills out of the 48 mills of" this year‘s taxes, and thought the year‘s showing was good. He announced that he was going to vote for the H. School byâ€"law, saying "we should finish our pupils as other places do." Robert Aljoe Dr. D. B. Jamieson Grant McComb Robert Whitmore Harvey Wilson John Morrison 4 Chairman of the H. S.

The five Mayors were John Mur dock, Wm. McDonald, Oliver Hunter, J. F. Grant, J. A. M. Robb. _The three for Reéve were Allan Bell, Wm Calder and John Morrison. The slate now stands : was built for 90 pupils now there are 120.

Will the electors folâ€" 40 as has been. _ The cry of decreasing population in rural surroundings, which frightens Mr. Calder, has been heard before. It was heard ten years ago, when our Public School had only six teachers, and now with eight, every available room is utilized, and population apâ€" proximately the same. The financial burden in Durham‘s present condition is by no means a hard one. We cannot stand still. It we don‘t go forward, we will assuredâ€" ly go back, with a much larger proâ€" portion of the expense coming from Durham than is now the case. And then Mr. Calder sees a remedy for overâ€"crowding: get the armoury. The armoury, even if it could be obâ€" tained, which we doubt, is not suitâ€" able. Mr. Calder knows, or should know, that a certain standard of light and space is demanded for every school room. Present lighting would never do. One side, or likely two, would have to be torn out or remodâ€" elled. Besides the necessary lavatorâ€" ies must be i:’aide the building. Great expenseâ€"to be met in one year, would attend making these changes, and then not be suitable, for an additionâ€" al playâ€"ground space would be necesâ€" sary. If armoury could be utilized, it would be considered a part of the High School, and not conforming to regulations, it would cut down the grants on all classifications. The duty of every ratepayer is to turn out on Monday next and vote for the High School Byâ€"law. The deâ€" sire to put Durham on the educationâ€" al map should actuate every citizen, male and female, and this cannot be done as long as we have inadequate accommodation in our High School. The old rivals, Durham and Hanoâ€" ver, will battle here Saturday night next, Jan. lst, in the opening Norâ€" thern League Hockey game. Durâ€" ham is about former ‘strength while the visitors are said to be an imâ€" proved team over last year. Come and look them over.

He had two texts upon which he dwelt, Luke 22 : 36 "And he that hath no sword let him sell his garment and buy one", and from 2 Timothy 4 :7, "I have fought a good fight," etc. In his disâ€" course, Rev. Mr Bell went to show the contrast between a righteous fight and one of low tendencies. The fights of Chas. Wesley in his religâ€" fous endeavors and Abraham Lincoln in his efforts to ban slavery were worthy of emulation and the speaker yet believed in God‘s final trlumph upon this earth. He stated he knew he was speaking to a lot of young men and advised them to fight the ~righteous fight. i The officials and members of Knox | Church were glad to hear that you had decided to study for the Christâ€" ian ministry, and now rejoice that i you have finished your college course iwith honor and have been ordained. lYour friends here are sure that you have made the wisest choice of a life ;'work and will be greatly used in the ‘building up of Christ‘s Kingdom in | Canada. They will be continually praying that God‘s richest blessings of strength, wisdom and grace may be vouchsafed to you to insure your fuccess in this high task. To make more certain that you will not forâ€" get their interest in yourself and your service, they wish you to acâ€" cept this gift of gold. May increasâ€" prosperity attend your ministry unâ€" til that day when the Master says "Well Done." | W H. Smith, Moderator of Session i , Thos. Allan, Clerk of Session . Alex. M. Bell, Chairman of Board On many occasions has the hisâ€" torie Knox Church been filled to the doors, but rarely, if ever, was it on the occasion of welcoming a former member as an ordained minister of the Gospel. Rev. Mr Bell was spendâ€" ing over Christmas at his home in Glenelg, and Rev. W. H. Smith and his many friends here were most anxious that he should convey a message to his own people. In this, Mr. Bell acquiesced and the crowded church with chairs in aisle, was perâ€" haps the greatest tribute to the step he had taken and carried through successfully. He graduated last May from â€" Manitoba College, Winnipeg, ordained the same month, accepting a call to Brookdale United Church, Man., where he has since been pasâ€" tor. Rev. Mr Bell had the sympathetic hearing of his audience from start to finish and they felt that a bright future is in store for him. It was a sermon typical of youth and he prekâ€" sed his convictions home to his audâ€" ience in a fluency and command o! language seldom found in & young speaker. At the close of services, Rev, Mr. Smith in a few kindly remarks, exâ€" plained the peculiar pleasure it gave to his old church to have him with them again and called upon Mr Thos Allan and Mr Harold McKechnie to come forward. They did so and the former read a congratulatory adâ€" Presented with Purse of Gold by Members of Knox Charch Let every unprejudiced ratepayer on Monday rally to the support of the School Board, who with unaniâ€" mous voice, bespeak and realize the urgent necessity for this addition. Vote "for" the byâ€"law, and uphold Durham‘s status as an educational centre. * a Rev. Mr Bell appropriately replied, hoping and praying that he would be worthy of the trust placed in him by his many friends here. The choir of the church has specâ€" ial Christy\u music for both servicâ€" es and congratulations were freel; given organist and members for the high class nature of their work. Rev.
