 MEMORIAL SERVICES.
 On Sunday morning last Rev. MT. Haugh conducted services in the Meth odist church in memory of Mrs. T. N. Laine, who so suddenly died on Sun | day, the 4th inst. The pastor, with his children and visiting friends, occupied a place in the large and unusually sym pathetic congregation. The choir sing ing was impressive and tender, and seemed to be wings of faith" to the peoples devotion and love. A solo by Mrs. A. s. Bennett, Not Half Has Ever Been Told,' swept the sympathiz- ing audience as with real breath of divine life and triumphant power. Christ Magnified in the Life and Death of True Believers" was the sub ject of the discourse. As an expound- l ing of simple, sweet, sustaining Chris tian truth it was timely and comfort | ing.
 1 Mrs Laine, with her cheery, bright, unselfish way, had won the hearts of all who had visited the parsonage, and i her wholly unthought-of death is de- veloping the very best things in their | character. It is worth a long and faith l full life to have such fragrant and hon. l ored memory.
 | Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord"
