Look here! This is getting to be
serious business. Yesterday it was a
coal famine, to-day it is a meat
famine, tomorrow it may be sugar or

courts on account of our eye infirm-

case last referred to was the Blakeley
conservator one. The judge decided
for the defendant or respondent.

was organized by the choice of J. r
Stubbert of Putnam moderator and G.
@. Chappell scribe, unanimously vot
ed to proceed to ordaining the candi
date, being eminently satisfied with
the happily, lucidly and scripturally
summarized written statement of his
Christian experience, call to the min.
istry and views of Christian doctrine.
Indeed, this written statement was
highly commended on all sides, in.
Guiding ministers and others of other
denominations present. After din.
