 Rev. Arthur vaxlay conducted . most heIpful service Sunday after noon at the Shelteaing Arms. The fearing lest they should be cast on rocky grounds they let go four am chors and wished for the day. Tn time of pain and suffering. he said. we try, to search a reason for these things The secret of that is locked up in the keeping of Almighty God. Human life may be hkened to a ship crossing the ocean; darkness and storm for days, terrible experiences are under gone such as befell Paul There comes time when men can only pray.
 Certain great assurances have come to me which are the anchors of my soul: first is belief in God, the great est fact in the universe. I believe in Him as my Father and my Friend In the eternal Heart there is place for me because am His child. Moth ing can shake my belief that God holds
 me in His hand. Another anchor is my belief in Jesus Christ. The only Christ for me is the Word become flesh, the spiritual Christ, the One who came as a sacrifice. who shows us the way to the Father. Jesus Christ was made a sacrifice for the sins of the world, His redemptive work leads to our salvation. He is my Lord, my Re- deemer, my Helper, my Guide. As am travelling over this unknown sea of life that anchor holds me steady.
 The Holy Spirit of God at work in the hearts of men is a third anchor. believe this power is ever about me, in and through my life, to keep me away from the rocks, so that I shall come to no permanent harm. An other great anchor is the holy Bible, the revelation of God, the only book of faith in all the world in which and through which the will of God is re- vealed, and His way of salvation.
 When men try to settle problems aside from the principles and light and in
 spiration of this book, they are drift ing. We cannot reach port safely without it. Another anchor is the church of Christ. find it the great conservor of righteousness in the
 earth. Not every member of the church is part of the body of Christ. Unless
 spiritual character is worked out the
 membership is nearly valueless. While l these anchors keep me am praying till the great day comes. The storms ] throw out these anchors and pray,
 nothing can separate us from the love
 of God
 Young people from Taftville came
 with the choir to assist with the sing
 ing, making this a very pleasing part of the service. There were anthems 1 by the quartet, The Lord is in His
 Holy Temple, Bless the Lord Oh My Soul, and q solo, Standing One Day | by the Seashore, by James Jackson; l the closing hymn was Lead, Kindly
 Light. Miss Nellie Howie was at the
 piano and members of the quartet
 were Miss Jennie Kendall, Miss Hazel Banfeld, Joshua Heap and James Jackson.

One of the Weber & Hewett Co.
horses underwent some performances
at about 2.30 Friday afternoon while
standing in front of the store on
Water street which won for him the
attention of everyone in that vicinity
while the exhibition continued. The
2.34 express going east had just ar
rived and the escaping steam from the
locomotive got on the horses nerves
to the extent that he wanted to leave
the locality. but the hitchweight held
him and he began a two-step around
the weight This step soon became
a waltz in which the pung to which
the horse was attached soon joined
and eventually shed its fittings. The
horse also evidently became tired of
going round and round and started
down the driveway leading to the
steamboat wharf, but was stopped be-
fore he had gone far. 1t was not
learned that any serious damage was
done.
