Capacity A capacity congregation, with | many persons being unable to se- | cure accommodation, was in at- tendance at Knox Presbyterian Church on Sunday night when a gong pageant, 'White Gifts for The King," was staged by the teachers and officers of the Sun- day School of which Hugh Gil- christ is Superintendent. The many classes of the Sunday School from 'the little'tots in the Primary Class to the young people's Bible Class were also present at this impressive service and occupied seats by their classes. The pageant itself depicted an old world king receiving gifts of loyalty from his subjects, those most acceptable being "white" both in colour and character, while the service was interspersed with sacred solos and songs se- lected for their suitability to the occasion. The whole program of this spe- cial Christmas service as carried out 'under the direction of Mr. Gilchrist proved very conclusively that a great deal of time and trou- ble had been. put forward in its preparation, every person taking part doing so with dignity and feeling. Rev. D. Muro During the program a brief ad- dress was delivered by Rev. Dun- can Munro, pastor of the Church, who stressed the fact that the pag- eant depicted the call from Christ "I gave My life, what are you ready to give in return." Mr. Munro, in his address, paid tribute to the superintendent of the Sunday School and his staff of teachers and officers in the splendid work they are doing a- mong the young people and' chil- dren of the Church, emphasizing the point that if the Sunday School is successful in its efforts to have the pupils accept Christ 'then no storm that can arise (Continued on page 3) MOVING T0 FORM COMMUNITY CHOIR 'COMMITS SUICIDE > D.

Twelve persons were 'injured in a clash which took place 'at the pler where a huge crowd awaited his landing. About 1,000 "untouchables", carrying black flags bad gather- ed for an anti-Gandhi demon- stration, and tried to rush the pier. Delegations of the National Congress were caught in the rush of the mob. The police finally dispersed the crowd. Among the first to greet Gand- hi was his sixty year old wife. Some groups of women admirers placed garlands of flowers around his neck, while others bowed reverently before him. To the enthusiasm of the greetings, Gandhi remained mute, because his day of silence does not end until noon. He gathered together his spinning wheels, his bed, his pots, pans and loincloths and then walked slowly down the gang- plank amid a wave of salcams and a thunder of 'Long live Gandhi, our king."

In Minister Gives His Report on Investigation of Complaints of North Made by Oshawa Man his report ho says that the reason advanced by Homes for quitting was that he hag received a letter advising him of serious illness and that it was necessary for him to return to Oshawa at once, The engineer says that he has infor- mation to the effect that this man was informed that work was starting up again in his line at Oshawa and he was anxious to get back to it, The engineer also advises me that each and every camp has a lumbered and screen- ed meat honse. The engineer in- vestigated this particular camp where Homes was employed and found everything in (first-class shape. He further states that a young man named Dick from Osh- awa was in the engineer's office on Sunday ang stated that he had gained seventeen pounds on the same food that Homes was eat- ing.

EDWARD WQUADE DIED IN GHRISTIE STREET HOSPITAL lliness of Long Duraticn, | Due to War Wounds | Ends Fatally Following an illness which had its beginning in warw ounds, and which had been serious for the last four years, Edward known Oshawa war veteran passed away in Christie Street Hospital, | Toronto, where he had been a pa- tient for four years, on Christmas Day. Mr. McQuade was fifty years of age, and had lived in: Oshawa prior to the war, coming here from Port Hope with his family. His wife predeceased him six years ago, and he is survived by a family of five children, Maisey, aged 18, who acts as mother to the four younger children, John, James, Peggy and Philip. Was Severely Wounded Mr. Quade enlisted in the 59th Battalion, C.E.F., in 1915, 'and after going overseas was seriously wound- ed in France and taken prisoner. He had six operations while in a prison in Germany, and was finally repriated to Switzerland as coni- pletely disabled. On returning to Oshawa he established a shoe-re- pairing business at his home, 144 Annis Street, and carried this on until 1927, when he suffered a stroke, and was admitted to Chris- tic Street Hospital, where he has been ever since. A few weeks ago he suffered another stroke, and a ow gays ago a final stroke proved fata Outstanding Case The sufferings of Mr. McQuade, and his battle for recognition of his pension rights by the board of pen- sion commissioners have made his case famous throughout the Domin- ion. On his return from overseas he was granted only a small pension, and on his final breakdown in health and his stroke in 1927, the pension board ruled that his con- dition was not due to war service. It was only after a four years' fight that the pension tribunal held at Oshawa on August 20, 1931, ruled that his condition was attributable to war service, and allowed him full pension. This decision, however, was 'appealed by the board of pen- sion commissers, but at the hearing of the appeal it was disallowed, and the decision of the tribunal held. During these four years his case was fought vigorously by the Cana- dian Legion, and by Frank Mc- Donald, of Toronto, president of the Canadian Pensions Association, who made the presentation to the tri- bunal at Oshawa in August. mra at Mr. McQuade was a member of St. Gregory's Roman Catholic Church, and the funeral requiem mass was said this morning by the Rev. Father Bench. in the presence of a large number of worshippers, including the Canadian Legion. H. A. Sibley, William Lyall, H. Smith and H. Bertram, of the Christie Street Hospital branch of the Legion, were in attendance repre- senting that branch. Interment was made in St. Gregory's Cemetery. SIR GED. E.

Mr. Mackinnon pointed out that the young people of the present generation were fortunate in that they had seen many new inventions brought forward and asserted that they were in a position to sce fur- ther great changes in, the economic as well as the industrial life of the human race. He asserted that in order to fit themselves to take full advantage of the opportunities that presented themselves that they should adopt the system of morals which were lived by Jesus Christ and in so doing adopt practical christianity in their lives. : The speaker stated that the reli- gions put forward by Confucius and Buddah were somewhat similar to that of Jesus Christ but that they had become so corrupted that they no longer embodied that principle on which they were founded. The only religion which had remained the same was that of Jesus Christ, which was still such that it should be of guidance to all the human race. Our religious beliefs, Mr. Mackin- non stated, were based on the Fath- erhood of God and the Brotherhood of Men if these two principles were adhered to the human race would continue to advance. 'Some of the principles which the speaker set forth as the most desirable in men and 'which he associated with the life of Christ by specific examples were sincerity, energy, judgment, loyalty, tact and courage, Mr. Mac- kinnon stated that these were the characteristics which he would de- sire to find in a man whom he was taking into his employ and which he urged the members of the brother hood to adopt as their own COMMITTEES OF MEN'S GLUB NAMED St. Andrew's Church Group Organization Is Completed With its committees fully organ. ized at a meeting of chairmen in the church vestry on Saturday night, the newly-organized St. Andrew's Church Men's Club is ready to carry on a useful work in the congrega- tion and the community, The com- mittee chairmen who met on Satur- day to complete their committees are as follows: Church Welfare, James Young; .mbership, W.
