Besides Mr. Dan McTavish. there was present from Flesherton Mrs. Geo. McTavish. and Misses Jean and Evelyn.

VICTORY C PEND a day or two each week on the farm during harvesting. Join the thousands of Farm Commandos who ate prepared to "close up shop" or lay down their tools for a time, if necessary, to "raid" the harvest fields and help ensure the safe harvest of millions of dollars worth of precious food. Farm Commando Brigades are springing up in Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade, Service Clubs and Churches all over Ontario bringing together townsmen who are will- ing to make a direct, patriotic contribution to the War Effort and gain the good-will of neighboring farmers at the same time. If there is no Farm Commando Brigade forming in your locality, take it up with your Service Club, Board of Trade, Chamber of Commerce or Church Executive and get your local Brigade started at once. The need for a great emergency reserve of Farm Commandos is urgent. The "stake" is tremendous. Ontario farmers must have every possible man-hour of labour during harvesting to prevent irreplaceable loss of foods to the Allied War Effort and to Canada herself. Your help is needed NOW. Volunteer in The Farm Com- mando Brigade and be ready to help if harvest emergencies arise.

The open- ing hymn "Oh Worship the King" was followed wiftth prajfer (by the president. Rev. R. J. Pike expressed a hearty welcome to all, to the Sing- hampton church, and introduced the guest speaker, Rev. George Tuttle, who very ably put forth the objects of Sunday Schools, at least embracing those in the O.R.E.C. He contrasted the Christian religion with other re- ligious teachings. He remarked that the Church must face stern facts and Christians must be realistic. He stated that less than fifty per cent of our people have any Christian instruction and that Ave dollars was spent in liquor to every dollar spent on education and Christian teaching together. Mr. Harry Hannon gave a very fine object lesson for senior boys' class "= and Rev. R. J. Pike spoke on teacher training, while Mr. D. Stephens spoke on the Adult and Home Depart- ments. in which all present took an interesting part in discussing the work and relationship to Sunday Schools. The following were selected as the nominating committee: Mrs. Harr 1 ' Hannon. Rev. R. J. Pike; Resolution Committee: Rev. Mr. Wellerman. Mr. E. C. Pedlar. Mrs. M. P. McLean and Mr. D. Stephens. Thi* was followed by a very fine song sel- ection by Marie and Harold Pike. Rev. C. J. McNichol then very earn- estly stressed the great need of Sun- day School workers consecrating themselves to the task of Christian teaching. Rev. Geo. Tuttle continued on his subject, taking what seemed to be the defeated side to Church and Sunday School work. The blame cannot be laid on any particular phase or place and there is no set cause. He said, however, that we need not be discouraged, that fait 1 - in the eospel message will take care of itself. We must begin with our- selves. If we discupline ourselves in nrayer and work the reward is sure. Rev. Tuttle also stressed the value of religious education in the school. The closine prayer was made by Rev. Wellerman. The evening- service was presided over by Rev. R. .1.

Tuttle continued his ad- dress on Christian Education and --poke with much enthusiasm, outlin- : i- the "icourasrements and difficul- ties in Sunday School and Church work. Singhampton Sunday School rendered songs and music, which was very much appreciated. Resolutions were endorsed regard- ing th reduction of liquor facilities in or near military eanw-. the short- ening hours in sale of liquor in her parlors, and the separation of *ex in those low. degrading govern- ment institutions COMPANY HELD FIELD MANOELVERS SUNDAY Sunday the local members of "B" Company of the G. & S. Foresters (R) C.A. held manoeuvers on the farm of Dr. Campbell, five miles north of Markdale. A route march in the morning brought them to the area and shortly after arrival they had lunch, some of the boys declaring that food never tasted so good. The afternoon was spent in field craft and instruction on anti- aircraft defence, which was practised on the march back to the armories, which was reached about 5 p.m. Th boys did not suffer any ill effects from the long march, but Monday many of them knew that thev had muscles which had not been in use for some ;ime. It is expected that another field manoeuver will be held this coming Sunday. 45th Wedding Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Richard Bentham of Flesherton observed the 45th anni- versary of their wedding quietly at their home on Monday. Congratmla- tions are extended to this highly re- garded couple, with the wish that they will be able to celebrate their diamond anniversary. Loyed In Egg Crate The broadcast Sunday mornings of the news from weekly newspapers brings out some startling items of interest. Sunday morning Andy Clarke related the story of a hec laying an egg in the corner of a kitchen. Mrs. Ward Harrison o, Flesherton has a biddy which has : greater sense of usefulness and she lays her eggs in an egg crate that i* placed under a table in the summer icitchen. This has been a favorite rendezvous for some time in whicl to lay her valuable e^s On account of shortage of labor on the farm she no doubt feels that she should give her faithful keeper as little trouble as possible and place her eggs in ar accessible spot. The next best plar wouM be for Mrs. Harrison to trai' her to lay in a crate in which was a filler, so that the eggs could be tak- en direct to the egg grading station without further trouble.

Discuss Problems Of Sunday School Work The annual convention of the Sun- day Schools of Artemesia, Flesher- ton and Markdale under the Religious Education Council of Ontario was held in Annesley United Church here and proved to be one of the best in recent years. The president, W. J. Messenger presided. The theme, "The Church Reaching Every Per- son" was sustained throughout the program. Rev. George Tuttle. son of the Moderator of the United Church of Canada, representative of the O.R.E. C. was present, and his inspiration- al addresses were very helpful. The church he said must provide a strong counter offensive to the anti-Christ- ian movement launched by Hitler, ian faith. We muse, realize Hitler, who is bent on destroying convic- tion, surrender and renewed life in power and direction if we are to win. Churches of all denominations must shake off their indifference and make a united effort not only to hold, but to win all for Jesus Christ. He charged *V<- ' than fifty per cent of our childr<;n are receiv- ing Christian training and that in Ontario we pay more for crime than we spend on all our educational in- stitutions. Despite discouragements we must press forward. "Launch out into the deep and let down your nets" challenged Mr. Tuttle in closing. The afternoon session opened with a devotional period, conducted by Rev. R.B. Keys, pastor of Flesherton Baptist Church and Rev. C.O. Perrill Rector of Christ Church, Markdale had charge of the evening devotion- al exercises. Reasons wh- some do not attend Sunday School and why others do were given by Rev. Dr. Mercur of Maxwell and Mrs. Chas. Martin of Eugenia. Questions of live interest to workers were discussed under the headings. "How to reach those too far away.'' H.I. Graham and "How to make the most of Rally Day," by Paul Runrball of Cooke's Church of Markdale. Some of the points emphasized in the round table conference were: The church must reach every one. It must provide Christian teachers. These should have prayer and fellow- ship meetings and study the lesson together. Teachers should try to lead their pupils to a personal acceptance of Christ. An interesting feature of the ev- ening session was a demonstration teacher's meeting, led by Rev. G.K. McMillan of St. John's United Church of Flesherton in which helpful sug- gestions made in the afternoon ses- sion were discussed to apply to their own class problems. Musical number enlivened both sessions. There were duets by the Misses Betts of Eurenia and by W. J. McFadden and J. Cook. The Junior interdenominational choir led the singing in the evening, and contri- buted a chorus. Several children whc took part in the recent Musical Fest- ival gave their winning numbers. Mrs. M.K.
