Obituary Of Henry A. Watt.


On Sunday morning, Dec. 14th,
Mr.. Watt answered his last call
to receive his eternal reward
Death occurred at St. Mary's Hos
pital, Duluth. His chair is the
first of the family's to be made
vacant. When the word reached
here that he had passed away the
feeling of deepest grief was man.
ifest. No death has ever occurred
in this vicinity that has left such
a feeling of profound sorrow.
Each one feels as if they have in
dividually lost friend and col
lectively all feel we have lost one
whose place cannot and never
will be filed. In Mr.. Watt the
highest ideals of true manhood
were typified in a most measured
degree. In manner he was quiet,
plain and unassuming; his simpli-
city and ever unfailing kindness
marked his extra ordinary life.
The world in which he lived was
the better for his having lived in
it for his sublimity radiated in
every direction and had it's good
effect on those with whom he
came in contact. His counte-
nance was one that singled him
out in the largest crowd and at
tracted the attention of every
stranger. His death is a distinct
loss not only to his family but
the entire community. He was
the embodiment of true manhood
and one whom we might we'll
adopt for a model. Mr.. Watts

Bruno Church Services.

Next week. Jan. 4th to nth.
has been set aside by the pro-
testant churches of North Ameri-
ca as a week of prayer"
The church is called to observe
the week of prayer" under con-
dltions which make the observ-
ance more necessary and oppor-
tune than ever. The outstanding
issues of the present world up
heaval are moral and spiritual.
The laws of men and the laws of
God are being disregarded, while
organized evil seeks the destruc-
ton of the human and divine in
stitutions which upheld them.
A decisive moral conflict is in.
evitable. This is an hour of un.
paralleled opportunity and re.
sponsibility to the church of
God.
Christianity alone has the mes.
sage and dynamic for the time.
Christ must be exalted, His
principles must be fearlessly pro-
claimed and applied, His spirit of
love and of power must dominate
His church. The resources of God
must be released in all the world
through prevailing prayer and
sacrificial service. Nothing else
will suffice.
The Bruno church will observe
the week of prayer" The Sun
day morning service will be at II
o'clock, the other service will be
in the evening at 8 o'clock. The
topics are as follows:
Sunday morning, Jan. Tho
church awakened by her new op.
portunity."
Monday evening" The church
awakened by national self .cxami.

Tuesday-"The church awaken.

Wednesday-"The church awak.

Thursday-"The church awak.

hgion."
Friday-"The church awaken.
ed by the call for workers"
Everybody is cordially invited
and welcomed at these meetings
Next Sunday morning the Sacri
ment of the Lords Supper will
be administered in the Presby
terrain church.
Next Sunday there will be ser

Sam Davis was pitted against the
ponderous Murphy, a brother Of
Cuddy Murphy, former Dartmouth

Seymour out balanced Basil Hadlock

wonderful game, he simply could

forward excelled as a dribbler, dodg-
