REPRESENTATIVE--JAMES H, ORMISTON ANNUAL BANQUET YOUNG PEOPLE OF UNITED CHURCH "Splendid Address Given by Archer Wallace, Can- adian Auhtor The annual banquet of 'the Song People's Society of Whitby Unite Church, held on Monday evening, was featured by a most inspiring address by Archer Wallace, noted Canadian author, and a member of the Publi. cations Board of the United Church of Canada, The banquet, served in the Sunday School room, was a very successful affair. A large number of young people, and not a few interested adults, attended. The menu provided by the ladies of the church was all that could be desired. : The president of the Society, Gor- don McBride, presided, and the speaker of the evening was intro- duced by the minister, Rev. A. L. Richards, B.D. W. A, Dewland led in community singing, with Mrs, Vernon Rowe at the piano, while vocal numbers were rendered by Mrs. R. Richardson, In his address on the subject, "Right and Wrong Ideas of Re- ligion," Archer Wallace pointed out that first religion was not a creed. He characterized religion as an avenue of communication with God and His son, Jesus Christ, opening up avenues of service for God and mankind. Religion was not confined to any one church. There were thousands of Christians who held different views but who were nevertheless sincere. Nor was religion a restraint except that it restrained from things except that it restrained from things that are harmful--rather was it an inspiration. To be a Christian did not mean that people could not have a good time, that they could not laugh and enpoy true happiness. The Christian life was not one to be lived within narrow confines but rather one of the utmost happiness and broadest opportunities to make others happy. Old ideas of the Christian life being one of unhappiness and demanding the most exacting things had passed away, and in their place # Christians had a new conception of Christianity and the friendliness of The idea that religion was a thing which prepared man: for the life to come, or an insurance policy for the hereafter also erroneous, said the speaker, Religion was a program for this life. It spoke of the pres- ent with its opportunities for Chris- tian services. Mr. Wallace's address was a mas- terpicce and in future will prove a stimulant to young le's work in Whitby United Church. It contained much food for 1 t and its mes- sage was very t . He was ten- dered a very hearty vote of thanks or his kindness in coming to Whit- , 88 were also the ladies who ser- Jed the supper and those taking part n the programme. Some of the books written by Mr. Wallace are: "Heroes of Peace," "Stories of Grit," and "Boys Who Made Good." T e others were exhibited at the close of KING ST. SCHOOL T0 HOLD CONERT Christmas Entertainments as Planned by Many Organizations The annual Christmas concert of King Street Public School is an- nounced for Friday evening of this week in the Town Hall, when a lengthy program of dialogues, solos, drills, choruses, etc. will be given by the pupils of the various classes, This is one of the largest concerts of the year, and as a rule opens the Christmas concert season in Whitby.

Telephones Office-887; Howoe--131, Bowmanville Representative--i, Herbert Morthock John Jury Has Majority Of 26 Over Opponent in Boys' Parliament Voting Albert Wood of Tyrone Polls 127 Votes, While Bowmanville Boy Has 153--Election Was Most Keenly Contested in Boys' Parliament History in West Durham By virture of a majority of 26, John J. Jury of Bowmanville, was elected as West Durham's repre- sentative in the Older Boys' Par- liament in the election which took place on Saturday, the results of which were announced Tuesday morning by Alec McGregor, return- ing officer. The final figures were John Jury, 158; Albert Wood, of Tyrone, 127. Tt is considered remarkable that Wood should come so near as he did to his opponent, in view of the short length of time he has resid- ed in Canada and the fact that he is practically alone in this coun- try. It is proof that the boy has made a fine name for himself in the community in which he lives. Alec McGregor stated that the voting was very light, due mainly' to the rain which fell during the whole of Saturday. Bowmanville, however. put in a heavy vote but some of the outside communities turned out very poorly. The elec- tion hai been one of the most keen- ly contested in the history of the Older Boys' Parliament in West Durham. Both candidates have . toured the riding from one end to the other, on most occasions speak. ing at joint meetings. John Jury John Jury is a son of Gordon Jury of Rangoon, Burma, and is a grandson of J. H. H. Jury of Bow. manville, He received his early education in Rangoon but remain. ed with his grandfather in Bow. manville when his father returned on furlough, some years ago. At his entrance examinations he head- ed his class and since entering the high school has won two general proficiency prizes in 1st and third forme and has the enviable record of making first class honorg on all subjects in his middle sch: ox- aminations last year. He is a member of St. Paul's church and is Pretor of the Swastika Square. For two years he has been a mem- ber of the B.H.S. rugby team and dg | this year won the Junior tennis championship of Bowmanville. Albert Albert Wood was born and re- ceived his early education in Eng. land. At the age of eight he was a member of the choir of his church and a boy scout. He se. cured a good standing at school and left school early to support a sister and younger brother, later deciding to emigrate to Canada. In February, 1926, he entered the Fegan Homes and took up a course in farm training, coming to Can- ada fourteen months later.
