Mr. Werry, we feel is a true ex- ample of what the lesson on the tal- ents teaches. He has given freely of his talents by teaching in the Sun- day School, tuking an active part in the choir, in the business of the Church and in giving a neiping hand when and where ever there is need, and we feel it is done willingly and cheerfully. These are the kind of workers that make the Church stand strong. In appreciation of your good work we ask you, Mr. Werry, to ac- cept this chair and Bible and Mrs. Werry, this table as a small token of our esteem for you both, and we wish you many more years of health, happiness and prosperity.

Syndicate (By Howard R, Garis) ! Once upon a time, when Uncle Wiggily, the bunny rabbit gentle- man, was hopping along with his pink, twinkling nose for pany, he heard a volee saying: "But what's the use of so work, Daddy? Why can't I make Just one hole and let it go at that? I don't want to spend all day dig- ging!" Uncle Wiggily stopped short bhe- neath a mulberry bush, which he hoped soon to gee begin leaving out for spring. "I wonder who that is?" thought tho hunny. "Maybe it's the Daddy Fox teaching a little fox hoy how to dig a hole," Uncle Wiggily knew he ought to be careful if a fox were near, so he peeked around the corner of the bush, and the bunny gentleman was very glad when he saw Waddie Chuck, the little groundhog hoy, and his father near a pile of dirt, "Good morning, Mr, Chuck, also Waddie," said Uncle Wiggily, as he polished his spectacles in the rub- ber end of his crutch and made a low and polite bow with his tall silk hat. "What is going on this morning, that I hear talk of digging holes?" | "Oh, I am teaching Waddic to look | out for himself," answered the old | woodchuck gentleman "He and Woodie, his brother, are getting to be quite large animal boys now, and they must soon have homes of their own. So I want them to learn how to dig burrows, or underground! houses, for themselves." "A very good idea," said Wiggily. "Only I don't see any use in dig- ging two doors to a burrow," spoke Waddie.

Montgomery, thd entdrtainer of the evening, received a cordial welcome from the audience. Her read- ings were humorous and were taken from three of her books: *"Rilla of Ingiside," "Golden Road," "Anne of Avonlea." Her kind and charming personality did much towards giving her a place in the affections of the people who were fortunate in hearing her. The orchestra from Whitby, conducted by Mr. Briggs, supplied a large share of the entertainment and will be welcomed again. The pro- ceeds amounted to $24. Rev. Alex. McMillan, D.D., of Fo- route, preached in the Presbytenan Church on Sunday last. His subject was "incomprehensible Singing," and took for his text "Simg ye praises with understanding."

While Dr. McMillan is a musician. having been one of the committee 10 revise the Presbyterian Hywmaal, he combines with the wusical set- ting of the hymns.

Last year of the six teams in the leagne there were only two that did not have paid players on their team --Cobourg and Belleville--at least we believe the latter did not, All the other teams had, and probably their experiences of last year are causing them to turn against it now, Not a player on the Cobourg team last year received one eent from the Co- bourg baseball club, nor is it at all likely that they will this year, Co- hourg has had its experience from professional ball players, and like (| the other towns, it was not altogether d | pleasant.
