Sunday, set apart as it was by God as a day of rest and holy ins nation, has never in the memory of the o dest inhabitant of Allandsle been remembered as a day of such solemnity and mourning as the lastrtwo Sun- days have been. Wives have been made widows and "children orphans, while others have groaned under the aiiotions and injuries that God in His wisdom has thought proper to east upon them.

Bandmaster IIenderson s benet concert at the Town Hall on Monday night was, as THE ADv.wCn predicted, an eminent success. All classes of people were there from the creme de la creme to the Oi Polloi to contribute their sheckles ' and cheer the `performers. The playing of the band itself was simply magnicent, both in the overtures and the selections from Mozart's 12th Mass. There was a softness, sweetness and expression in town feels in having such at "band. The entertainment began- strictly on time, but ~a little hitch occurred by" the non appearance `of Mr. Ohanning Simmons in the order of the program, which caused a slight ripple of im- patience. This, however, soon passed away like the morning cloud, and the sunshine of good humor was soon restored. The -per- formances of the Ward family found a re- sponse in well merited applause. Mr. J. B. Edwards song, "The Bugler, was well sung `and honestly encored. The S Presbyterian Quintette Club did well, as they always do, and were cheered as they deserved, Mrs. Nicholson and Mr. Boys sang Excelsior to the satisfaction of the audience and were loudly encored, which they answered by a graceful stage bow. Mrs. Mackid sang with her` usual sweetnessjand expression. This lad y is fast winning her way to a prominent place among Barrie s popular amateurs. Mr. Simmons gave his recitation, The Burglar Al rm, and brought down the house. Auld Scotch Songs ? by Mrs. Lloyd was well received. This lady's fine stage appear- ance is an important faotor_`in the amateur performances she so satisfactorily undertakes. Our Last Waltz" by Mrs. Nicholson was well rendered and encored. when she gave another song. Mr. J. C. Morgan s reading was capitally given and was not too classic in character to be misunderstood. In this running comment on the evening s perform- ances it is necessary"to distinguish what `is professional from what is simply amateur and apply the right canons of criticism ac- cordingly. On the whole the entertainment was good and produced the money's worth of enjoyment to ticket holders and we hope a comfortable condition of the wallet in the Dandmasteris pocket. the playing which fully justify the pride the ['l'Nl)I<'.} . unln UN IJEI . nAnO`u I u rm VALUI ny pt-rs 0ST- .` 1 T lk 2 VV A L K` VEHUT PM L0!

Four of the widows were among the congregation, and it was pitiful to notice the effect of the preacher s words on these be- reaved women. Many of the congregation were moved to tears '- by the `eloquence and earnestness of the rev. gentleman, who took for his text the 44th verse of the 24th chap. of Matthew: Therefore, he ye `also ready; for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh. e ` 'r__ LL- .... -3-`...

The choral part of the service was very nicely rendered by the choir, and. the._lesson_s and prayers particularly appropriate to the occasion. The rev. minister took for his text the 13th chap. of Mark, the 33rd verse: Take ye heed, watch and -pray, for ya know not when the time is. `He said our Divine Master as he sat on the Mount of Olives gave this warning to his disciples, whether as a prophecy of the fall of Jerusalem or as a warning to man of [his inevitable en l,_ it was hard to say. Man was only too ready to forget the re- sponsibilities of life and forgetful of the future, still went heedlessly on. - He had two streams `before him, one leading up to Heaven and Glory, the other downward to misery and death. Much as he may strug le there was a ruling power in man s nat re that seems to be pulling him on towards the downward stream, but by prayer and Christian fortitude he could repel this power and pass on by the upward stream that would take him to heavenly Happiness. We had lately one of these fearful warnings that is sometimes sent to remind man of his help lessness. George'Wilaon , the late beloved superintendent of their Sabbath school, had been ruthlessly torn from their midst. A1- ways ready to work for the Master, he had sacriced much time and pleasure to do his duty, and" God by His inscrutable will had. taken him to Himself. The children of that Sabbath school would miss him, the congre- gation who worshipped there would miss him, the family, of whom he was the head, Oh, how they will miss him ! And who will know, more than Him above, how much our deceased brother will be missed from amongst us, but God is ever watchful over the care of those left behind. He will dry the widows and orphans tears, and in their trouble they will be consoled by know_'ng that their loved one is at rest and that God willfcare for them in their troubles. The rev. gentleman con- cluded` his beautiful sermon by urging upon all the necessity of taking warning by the text and to watch and pray, for we know not when the time is.

As the vestry had on all occasions when this matter was brought up, refused to pay the account in hill, and as a committee had been appoint- ed to tryand fix the proper amount, which they did at some $00 or $65, your church- wardens did not consider themselves in a position to pay Mr. Littlehales more than this amount, contrary to the express opinion of the vestry, and as Mr. Littlehales refused to take this amount in. settlement of his ac- count, your churchwardens were obliged to defend the suit. ~ The matter was left to an arbitrator, who decided that the church was not legally liable. As, however, the church has the use of the fixtures, and thereiis, no doubt, a balance due to Mr. Littlchales, it would be well for the Vestry to appoint a committee to look into the matter, _or at once vote a_sum to be Daid in settlement.
