 The best and surest way is to give while in life, so you can make sure your wishes have been respected and fulfilled What your hands find to do, do it while you may.
 Cornwall Bridge is blessed with a small church which is supplied with good minister and generally filled with good audience. Many who helped build the church, and struggled to sup port preaching and church organiza- tion, have passed away to their reward; and few of the old members remain to council the young; their children and those outside the church are willing to aid by their abundance, the loved house of their fathers, thus, early instruction has, perhaps learned them to escape the fate of Solomon's sons, who forsook the council of the old, and listened to the young, the consequence of which was the overthrow of the kingdom.

 In response to what ''Anon" is pleas ed to call reinstatement" simply ask the unknown to take his own advice and refer to the NEWS, when, after hay ing fully read the different items, ask any one on the "Hill" if they can re- call divers events that have transpired without being chronicled by the cores pondent at West Cornwall, not only do I feel confident that items of interest to others, than the immediate residents can be mentioned, but also great num- Der of visitors names that have never appeared in this paper Just here it depends under what qualifications per sons to be called distinguished" in the eyes of 'tAnon," must pass. Evidently we differ widely in our opinions upon this point, for with copies of the paper in question before my eyes I can recall goodly number of ladies and gentle men who enlivened the homes of Cream Hillites, who passed wholly unnoticed not by their friends, but by the NEWS. Any fair minded person would consider events of this kind fully worthy of notice, although possibly not "dis- tinguished, if that qualification calls for title, Also at this moment I can recall the names of not few who glory in titles well earned and deserving.
 Don't think just because ''Punch" is not on hand at all seasons he looses track of the doings of the friends on the Hin.' l guess not. From my own con- clusion commence to think, although many miles from there, I know more about that interesting locality than ''Anon" does, or ever will, unless the scales drop from his tor her) eyes, for from my friends-and I have many-I am the recipient of much more news that would interest persons around here, than ever appears in print. It is thus that many such items are coldly treated Why is it?
 Although in one respect ssliving out side your lively little world," in reality am in the centre more than ''Anon," if the above can't recall many an inter- esting episode that has passed totally unknown to the NEWS. Let all have fair play, not sighting the least, but treating all alike. PUNCH.
