You will re- call many of his sublime passages and yet how handicapped in life he was a 'a dwarf, hunch-backed, thin and sickly, called the Interrogation Point because of his crookedness, so sersi- }tive to cold he had to be" wrapped in furs and flannels, so helpless he could not dress nor undress without assis- tance, his whole life one long disease, but whata genius, a great man saved to the world by the devotion of his mother. - But it is the women here present who are in the very midst of thangs with their children all about them to whom we wish to speak to- ~{mght. ; 'Fhe Mother's work is Dual-House- | Keeping and home making, the lat- ter unquestionably the more import- ant.

'Staples at the Cartwright Township, S. S. Convention and printed by special request. ------ A Ste Obituary On Friday moining, Jan. 16, after a lingering illness, Thomas Addison R, Gillson, passed away at the home of his father Mr. Aaron Gillson, Pleasant Point, He was only twenty-three years of age, and was a young man of great promise, He was gifted with intellectual powers of an unusual order, and it is probable that close application to his studies may have caused the illness which has just closed the young life. After leaving school at Port Perry he went to Toronto and by hard work and study soon obtained a splendid posi- tion for a young man. Just a little less than a year ago he was obliged to leave his work and go home for a holiday, but he was never able to resume his work. Throughout his illness he was patient and cheerful. He hoped to be strong and well again but had a Christian faith which strengthened him with confid- ence to the future, fully prepared to submit to the will of his Master. The funeral was held at Pleasant Point church at 2 o'clock on Sunday the service being conducted by Rev. Mr. Johnson. The church was filled by friends and relatives and respect and sympathy were shown by the wealth of floral tributes. Six brothers of the deceased acted as Pall Bearers. The Family, in their sad bereave- ment, have tee sympathy of the com- munity. Rural Route No. 1 Port Perry This is the post office address of the following persons: Samuel Baird Allen Goode J.
