It is the most supreme, permanent and abiding of all virtues. The love of man to God is the great goal for anch â€" nar Hope is as necessary as faith: it kindles new desires, sheds light in darkness and sheds a fragrance over life. Our days of richest experience are days of hope. Without hope we may live in atmosphere of despair and nothing seems worth living for. The greatest hope before the Christâ€" lan is achievement of the Christlike character. _and business life. _ We must have confidence in men, their word and signature. The man we can‘t trust is & social outcast. Faith is essential to stability of our material modern life: we must have great faith in ourselâ€" ves and in our fellow men. Faith is at threshcld of most permanent things in life: we must trust in God, must believe promises of God. Divâ€" ine faith in man was exemplified when He sent His only Son to die for us.

Including four or five from Hanover lodge, sixty eight brethren were in attendance and they profited from a splendid disccurse by the pastor, Rev H. S. Fiddes. His text was from 1 Cor. 13: 13: "And now abideth faith, hope and charity, ete." Charity or love, says Dr. Drummond, is the greatest thing in the world.

Service ; at Queen St. Church (Continued on page 5.) Ch¢ | _ At the age of 77 years, Robert S. | Moffat, one of the well known Moffat ffa.rr.ily of Edge Hill, passed away on ;Saturday last, at the home of his son George at Halifax. In October last, on the strong persuasion of his son, he left for that Maritime city, }though then in poor health and sufâ€" | fering from heart weakness. _ The |relatives here were not aware of his serious condition until receiving the | telegram informing them of h‘s death. } Coupled with the names of his ) brothers, the Moffats made a name for themselves in this section of S. Grey for their industry and intelliâ€" gence. Deceased was a master carâ€" | penter in his day and many buildings in Durham and vicinity have had the hammer and chisel from his deft , hands. The cottages now occupied by Mr John McQueen and Mrs Thos. | Banks are some of his first advenâ€" tures in Durham in the . carpentery line. No. 9 schoolhouse, Glenelg, also stands today to his credit as does also the carpentry work of the new Presbyterian Church in town. As well, he made and donated to the church the handsome pulpit and offerâ€" tory plates that are in use toâ€"day. " The late Mr Moffat was born in New York, the son of Charles and Mrs Moffat. When quite small the family moved to Guelph and later toL Durham, where they occuped the ; building we now know as the Burns‘‘ homestead on Durham Road and the Rcbert Milne cottage in Upper Town.| Later the father took to farming and Settled on Edge Hill line where a; fine home was erected. But the son | Robert did not incline to farming! and went to Texas, where for three years he apprenticed himself as carâ€" penter to his Uncle George Moffat. For many years around Durham the, names of Robert Moffat and GeorgeI Kress were linked as men who were worthy of their trade. i In September 1882, he married Elâ€" len Staples who passed away in 1908. Of this union were born one son and two daughters, viz: George, with the Moir Chocolate firm, Halifax : Alice, Mrs J. P. McMillan and Miss Two sisters of deceased also sur vive: (Abbie) Mrs W P Watson, Egâ€" remont: (Lizzie) Mrs A. T. Davey, Toronto. The family of the late Mrs Davis are: Ida, Mrs Chas. Moffat, Durham: Bessie, Mrs Chas. McGillivray, Durâ€" ham: Annie, Mrs Caines, Parkhill : Kathleen, Mrs J. E. Mc@llivray, of Glenelg: Will, St Marys : Percy of Toronto: Arthur of Edmonton. / _ Deceased was formerly Mary Ann / Whitmore, daughter of the late Samâ€" uel and Mrs Whitmore, born cn Con â€"22, Egremont, on the foomer home / farm of Philip Lawrence cof town. _ Here her glrlkocd and maidenhood days were spent and on her marriage | to Thomas Davis 48 years agc, took up residence on con 3 N.D.R., Glenâ€" elg. Here their fam‘ly were born‘ and raised and were ever held in the ‘highest respect in the neighborhood. \ The trials and tribulations of â€" farm life were mixed with the joys and | pleasures of family love and affecâ€" tion and when the home was brecken up two years ago, the section felt it to be a breaking of warm associaâ€" ‘uons and ties. _ Since leaving their Gleneig home they have residec with their daughters, Mrs Caines and Mrs . Moffat. 1 i MRS. THOMAS DAVIiS ! _ Twenty five days after the burial in Trinity Church cemetery here, of her daughter, Mrs H. C. Brant, the mcther, Mrs Thomas Davis was laia to rest in God‘s acre. While her death at her daughter‘s home in Parkhill on Saturday, came as a great shock, it was a well known fact to he. f..ends and family that hber heart condition was weak and was warned to be careful of any unâ€" due strain or exposure. With her husband she came to Durham to atâ€" tend her daughter‘s funeral and it is thought this was partly her undcing, for shortly after returning to Parkâ€"| 14l1, she showed signs that all was | not well and ultimately uremic poisâ€"‘ oning set in, which hastened death.! On the ist of May, she would have reached her 73rd birthday. ROBERT STEELE MOFFAT OBITUARY DURHAM.

It opened in the forâ€" mer Dalglish property, and was next located in building now the R. C. church, both in upper town, thence the lodge rooms were moved to Royal Bank building and then to above Mcâ€" Lachlan‘s store. To the oldest brothâ€" | er of the lodge, Mr Jas. Burt, Dr. Grant gave due credit for his energy in urging the lodge to acquire a { home of their own, with the result that the present fine bulding was | purchased from the Mclntyre Estate ‘and the final move made. ! Dainty > refreshments were served by the younger brethren, after which the majority of the company spent a few pleasant hours in dancing.

Hunter in the chair, the program was supplied entirely by Billy Sharp, comâ€" edian and entertainer of Toronto, with the exception of an address by Dr. Grant. Mr Sharp had a busy night in monologue work, community singâ€" ing, and stories, and entertained the audience with his numbers, but many were disappointed in the lack of varâ€" iety displayed. Mrs Earl McDonald was the efficient accompanist. | _ Twelve years ago they sold the farm to Mr A. B. McArthur and have since resided with their daughters, Mrs Sutherland when in Stratford a couple of winters and mainly in Niaâ€" gara Falls.

To the ladies it was the first view of the rooms since the fire| devastated them and the rich, large‘ rug and beautifully decorated walls and ceiling of lodge room, were the subject of many complimentary re-i marks.
