ROI-4A ND‘S A l ’0 LOG Y. A rather exciting scene took place in the l’resbyterimi Church at Laskay after the service last Sunday. It. seems that two weeks before, the pasâ€" tor, Rev. J. \Valt, in a sermon, made some remarks about, the Btll‘l' war,and Mr. R. 0. Harvey, who Was present, considering the remarks “ tin-British and disloyal ” interrupted the speaker. For interrupting the pastor Mr. Har- vey was asked to apologize. in accor- dance with this request. of the Manaâ€" gers and elders the alleged culpritwas present on Sunday, and, before a crowded church, read what he. called, "an apology." This soâ€"called apology apparently dill not satisfy the Com- mittee, and Harvey claims that he was shoved olf the platform by some of the. members and struck in the nose. Now the. typical li-ishman will in- variably turn on his opponent when the lat.tei"trea(ls on the tail of his coat, and Roland, beng a. son of 28 lp‘Ch Slim-ting! regular 20C"{Or ISC' Eiin, draws the line. equally tight ISC. dress tweeds for I2C. when any person hits him on the. nose. Mr. Harvey claims that he wasassault- ed, and it. is said he has consulted with his solicitor, Mr. J. \V. St. John in reference, to the matter. The nuihorities, it is said, also purpose tak ing legal proceedings against Mr. Har- vey, as the alleged apology was more offensive than the. original interrup- tion. 14c. dress tweeds for 11%c. 28 inch eider flannelette, 20c. for 15c.
