Grimmond. of Toronto, was in the village on Saturday as agent for the Catholic Smoke Ball, guaranteed cure !or oatnrrh and other diseases. The service conducted by ReV. Mr. Simp- son in the Methodist Church last Sunday evening. though of a varied character. was very interesting. The congregation first sang hymn 108, “The Coronation of Christ," after which the Rev. gentleman ofiered up an appropriate and solemn prayer. He then spoke for about ten minutes irom a text taken from a ci‘. tpter in Matthew, “Be- hold I stand at the door." &c. The choir followed by singing “Let the Master in." Mr. Simpson then compared the five wise virgins. who had their lamps filled, with the five foolish. and taught a beautiful lesson from the text. He warned the large congre- gation not to delay. but to be ready when Christ called. This was followed by a suit- able selection from the choir, “Are you ready for the Bridegroom." The Prodigal Son was next dealt with. The sneaker, in feeling terms. showed from the Bible what joy was caused by this wevwar’l son return- ing from the errors of his ways. and com- pared the low of our earthly father with that of our heavenly Father. The choir next sang “Prodigal don‘t stay away." All through the service the speaking and the singing were in perfect unison, and the pro- gramme should create a good influence a- mong the members and adh route of the church. Several other pieces were sung by the choir, who seemed to he in one of their best moods. and the music was much appre- ciated. At the close 0! the service a short prayer-meeting was held.

Again, England supplies those Corduroy Suits that never wear out, and remind uld'country peuple of their childâ€" hood, playing about the green lanes of their native village. GERMANY is away ahead in plaited and fancy suits, and though their goods are not quite as substantial as those of Englirsh (‘ll' Canadian manufacture, they excel in design and hobby styles.
