Rally Here Saturday The out-of-town talent at the || : Saturday night Youth For Christ 'Rally was a male trio from Toronto, which sang several selections, "The Pilot's Hand", "My Sins Are Blotted Out, I Know", "The Best Thing to Have Is Salvation' Fred Gould, also from out of town, on his banjo played "Standing on the Promises of God", "Sunrise Tomorrow", "On- ward, Christian Soldiers", and "The Fight Is On".

The speaker of the evening, Mr. Andy Chisholm, of the Yonge Street Mission, Toronto, chose as his text, "And He (Jesus) is the Head of the body, the Church, Who is the be- ginning, the First-born from the dead; that in all things He might have the pre.eminence." Mr. Chisholm told his audience that living for Christ is not a part. time job, but a full-time one. Christ doesn't want just the spare time of His followers, He wants all of their time. He urged all to give the Lord the first place in their lives. Mr. Chisholm said that some day , every knee will bow before Him, then He will either be Saviour or Jydge, because He has the priority in "Rank" also "There is none other Name--whereby man must be saved." 3 Closing his message, Mr. Chis- holm challenged those prese:' stop putting the good where the best should be--to put first things first." God has giwen Christ the first place--will you do it in' your life?" If you do, "old things will pass away and all things will be- come new". The responsibility," he said, is too great to let it go by unheeded. At the next rally the Rev. Wes- ley Hunnisett, frém Toronto, will be the speaker. . The meeting will be in Simcoe Street United Church on Saturday, April 17. $a Women Protest Margarine Ban Toronto, April 7.--(CP) -- Mrs. | R. J.
