Rtrnimnhr-V thn TH:-Hwndicf (`In-inf- rogate Count on Tuesday for a pro- bate of the initial will of the late Isaac Cairns of the township of West Gwillimbury. The late Mr. Cairns was a farmer near Bradford. He died recently, leaving about $10,00 or $12,000 in cash, mortgages and real estate. Deceased made a will on Nov. 26, 1915, leaving his property to his wife, who was living at that time, and a large number of nieces and nephews. After his wife's death in the latter part of 1915, the 'late Mr. Cairns sent for Dr. Cum- mings as he wanted to chan:.:'e his will. Another will was drawn up about Jan. 16, 1916. Later Mr. Cairns sold his farm and had an- other interview with Dr. Cummin_e`s `in which he said he wanted to chan_e`e l his will again and authorized D)'.| Cummings to destroy the second will. The first will, however, was still in` I Application was made at the Surl I |tact in the oflice of T. W. W. E\'an.< in Bradford. Before a third will was drawn up the death of Mr. Cairns occurred. Application is now vein}: imade for a probate of the first will, as there was some doubt as to whether the second will, made in 1916, was properly (lestroyed or looked on as a testator which was binding`. In both wills practically the same executive was named and the same beneciaries involved, ex- cept that dillerent amounts are given to some. In case it is held that there is no will at all practically the same! people will benet, but in dillerent proportions. The executive sought} for directions on Tuesday as tog whether the first will be probatedl in the trial of the matter or whether the sceond one will be prohated, or if the court will declare the de- ceased died without a will.

At all events the people should try and be rational and keep a kindly feeling toward each other. 'l`h<:y should prepare themselves to vote intelligently, free from all prejudice either way. In the meantime the people should guard themselves from making any rash vows which would bind them to a. certain course. Rather they should keep their minds open to the guidance of the Spirit and as Christians should follow the Spirit s guidance. l\/Tm \X7n4-+ n4-u-I-nll +ln# kn 1-.{n.e-nll` On Sunday evening last Rev. W. J. Watt made a very ne declaration on the subject of Church Union to the congregation of the Allandaie Presbyterian church. Mr. Watt counselled his people to take their time in coming to a decision. There is nothing; to be lost, but everything to be gained by delay. No impeituous action should be taken, as none is necessary until June 10, 1925. By that time the situation may be clari- ed a great deal. Am. ......u L _.. e...L.'_w. .. f\uu- u..u u snxouu uwul. I Any schism now would be an un-' remediable calami-ty. It is vital that small congregations remain intact. By all means the church should try and agree to abide by the majority. Even though the vote should go anti- unionist it would be preferable fox" the whole church to remain out for a time. In that case there would 110 a possibility of the church falling in line later on. However, if a rift isl made, the two parties will be irre- parably separated and there will be less chance of the amti-union party] ever entering the united church. .\L .11 .\..,\..,.
