The ceremony took place at the church of

Mr.. Ernest Harper, brother of the groom
was best man. The ushers were Messrs

This is the advice the GOLD LEAF has

of the beautiful and tasty minister's desk
that has recently been placed in position
in their handsome new church, and to
thank one of our most liberal and eStima-

and those who have seen it pronounce it a
most excellent and creditable piece of
work. The top part was made North, some
delicate and difficult carving having to be
done on it. An inscription stThy word is
truth" stands out prominently on the front
part of the Bible rest, the letters being
made of wood and raised. This beautiful
and very essential piece of church furni-
