Speaking of the reverential fear of God held by the late Mr. Nicholls the speaker recalled that one of his anxieties in his later days was his fear of the tendency of the age taking as an illustration the modem tendency of irreverence of God’s Holy day, and spoke of the pain it gave him to see so many whom he personally knew absent from the duty of worship in God’s house. He filled many im- portant offices in his own church and in addition to those things of which we knew there were the countess little acts of kindness not known to the world at large and which wrer cheer- fully done to many who appealed to him for advice and help. Then said the speaker, are we to stop here or is there no other lesson to be learned from his life. Though absent in the flesh and though passed beyond the veil, does his life not call to those who are left behind to carry on where he left off. Does not his life and the great multitude of witnesses who en- compass us about call us to lay aside every weight that doth so easily beset us and let us run with patience the race set before us, looking- unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. In closing the speaker-said “let us all learn from his life, and from the lives of all God’s Saints, our present duty to the home, to the community and to the world at large. Let us so learn to live that we may be ready to die and that we may be able to say with St. Paul, I have fought a good fight, I [have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” TIED FOR HONORS [N N.

Village Council Make Several Appointments For The Year Councillor ‘Herrington wanted to know how much revenue the town had received so far from fines of Speeders. The clerk reported that no returns had come through yet but the Reeve stated that he understood that there were nine convictions out of the first list taken to court. The ones that Were followed by the constable were fined but the ones which were caught with a ‘stop watch were not accepted by the court. There was considerable discussion concerning the appointment of an as- sessor for the coming year. It was moved by Councillor Herrington and seconded by councillor Sloan that the assessor as last year (Mr. A. Camp- bell) be appointed at the same salary as last year namely $175 per year. .Councillor Hill wanted to know if it was necessary to make the appoint. ment now as he was not prepared to ‘name one at present. Councillor Herrington said he had no complaints about the former asses- SOI‘ Councillor Hillâ€"I think this is a. very important position. One who merely copies is not an assessor. Councillor Sloan pointed out that it was suggested that an outsider should be called in to classify the buildings and generally revise the assessment but he did not think this interferred with the appointment of the asseSSor in any way. Clerk Hume gave the information that the revision at that time was WITH Councillor Hillâ€"I’m opposed to any assessor who cannot go out & make a proper assessment.
