Kround Saturday May 1st
fttiss Parramore PotteJ
Sometime during the night of Sat
urday the 24tb, Inst. Miss Agnes
Parramqre's room was entered and a
'clean sweep" made of all her Jew
elry except on ring which she wore
and onavmall brooch wbicli was
overlooked by tie tbief. She is
shre that tbeman slipped in 1efore
bed time and' was locked into the
house. Just at. what time the deed
was done it is impossible to surmise,
for In her baste to prepare for the
Sunday services, she did .iot miss
the jewelry and indeed it was not
until 2.30 when she began to dress
for the.atternoon services, that, she
disoovered her loss. ' Apart from
the inei limable sentimental valiu of
Ui? lost Jewels, their intrinsic value
was serious, as they included a band
omd diflin'on.d and a beautiful fra
ternity' pin. . 'AlUof. Mi,S8 Agnes
friends sympathise deeply wiUw bed
in ber loss and it is to be hoped that
tbe offender will be discovered and
b.ought to speedy justice.

. Pevival Meeting Clostd
The Kevlval services which have
ht .i in ptogrcs 'at the Mcthodiit
linDob for two weeks, closed with
lb? Tuesilay t.ight fervice.
N innencall v speaking, the results
of Die meeting have not been tabu
late i, but there were quite a cumber
of conversions; and the eye of God
alone saw all thu cold formal christ
ians who were lifted to a plane of a
real vital living religion, .also the far
nest christians wh? saw and entered
Into the expejlepccof Love Perfect
en ana especially an me ueans aeaq
in" sin wbo foil the tender wooing of
the Holy Spirit to yield to God.
. Kev. W. C.v Swope is a "grand
monumont to the lifting and keeping-power
of . Divine' Life. ' After
spending most of his past life a
stranger to good and God, be. at
length cried unto God from the
depths, and ever since be has been
kept and used of Him to carry tbe
sweet message to other fallen 'and
enslaved men. - His message is essen
tial to men and Is one calculated to
break up a very heart of stone.
Tbe higb standard of Christian living
which be preached appealed to it it
did not altogether convince every
real christian here and surely one
who so fearlessly wielded tne Sword J
of tbe Spirit may rest cssured that in
this community it will not return
unto Him void but will accomplish)
that whereunto He has sent it."
