A Fine Sermon.
Rev. Robert Van Deventer, pastor
of the Baptist church, preached an
unusually fine sermon Sunday morning.
1t was strong and eloquentappeal for
brotherly love and Christian sympathy
charity one toward another-the
doing TO our fellow man as we would
have him do 70 us. In many essential
elements it was great sermon-one
of the best we have heard from any
pulpit. It breathed the true Christian
spirit and called for the practice Of
every day religion in all things, pure
and undefleC, free from strifes, bick-
erings and fault findings. What a
glorious thing it would be if there was
this practical religion il the every day
lives Of men and women as the jealous
man of God so earnestly ard forcibly
impressed it upon his hearers Sunday
morning it should be.

Maude, the little five-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Fleming, of
this county, while getting over the

urday. The wound was a serious and
painful one, both bones being broken
lust above the wrist. DR.. w. T. Cheat

sufferer patiently submitting to the OPP
Grafton without murmur or the use of
anesthetics being resorted to. Mr..
Fleming told US Monday the little girl
was doing as we'll as could be expected
under the circums tadces and the only
fear is that she may dislocate her arm,
as she is running about playing with
the other children, as full of life as any
of them.
