"Only the church stood squarely across Hitler's cam- paign for the suppression of the truth" the great scientist had said. "I am forced to confess that what I once despised I now praise unreservedly." The speaker point- ed out that in 1923 another scien- tist, the late Charles Steinmetz, had predicted a great period of spiritual - development. "Love is the ultimate power of the universe," declared Mr. Hol- liday, "but we haven't been tak- ing it seriously enough. A gen- eration is growing up whose 'idea of love is a distorted idea. The definition of love is understand- ing and creative good-will." = "The work of the church lies with the men and women of the church," the speaker reminded his hearers. He briefly out-lined the United Church's program of lay activities. "The Christian way of life is fellowship," he said. "One of the troubles is that we keep our fellowship to our own little groups. We don't realize it should expand to the community outside the church." A vote of thanks to the speak- er was moved by Rev. Charles Hackett.

JOHN'S The gymnasium of St. John's United Church was gaily decora- ted in a Valentine's Day motif for the Valentine dance held by the Young People's 'Union Mon- day evening. A large number of MUSIC ALBUM BY IRVEN FELL T had in mind to give a thumb- nail sketch of some well-known composer but I read a music column which had to do with ar- ticulation in singing and called one practice in pronunciation ab- ominable, so I thought I would try and get my nickel's worth in. This columnist whose column I was reading is well known, clever and a recognized authority in music, especially choral ensem- ble work. It could be there is a slight ex- regarding what he and guests enjoyed the dancing and the at- tractive variety program. The Afternoon Auxiliary of the W.M.S. met at the home of Mrs. J. M. Campbell on Tuesday af- ternoon. The Evening Auxiliary held a meeting in the Ladies' Parlor Monday evening.

We started the New Year with the best Sort of boost any group can start with, namely money in' the bank, thanks to our citizens' generosity on Apple Day, and to their . thoughtfulness in saving paper for us, so that the late fall pickup was one of the most successful we have ever had: » ; There will be another pickup in the spring, so please go on sav- ing your paper, and if you have more than you want to keep till then, just call 5647 and we will come and take it away. The January meeting of the Halton Scouters' Club was held in Oakville, and we had as our guest speaker Mr. B. H. Mort- lock, commissioner for publica- tions for the Dominion, and ed- itor of the "Scout Leader,' who recounted life-saving activities of former scouts in the war. In Jan- uary Oakville had a patrol lea- ders' course, when more than 30 patrol leaders and seconds of the Halton district were /given con- centrated instruction, The tors were billeted with scouting families. The three Cub packs have been given the use of Victoria Hall one night a month for a point pack meeting, the initial meeting being held February 1. In addit- ion to inter-pack relay races and games there was a highly inter esting talk on First Aid hy Mr. Len Hope. Several members of the local Scout Association attended the annual dinner of Hamilton dis- trict on February 10, when the speaker was Maj.-Gen. Dan Spry, Chief Executive Commissioner for the Dominion, who outlined the functioning of the Scout organ- visi- local © DAILY SERVICE TO ALL N AND U.S.A POINTS. © CHARTERED BUSES OFFER FOR ALL TICKITS AND INFORMATION AY HALTON INN | ization in Canada, from the group committee to the district and pro- vincial councils and, thence to the Canadian General Council, which is a 47-man cabinet. Fin- ally there is the International Scout Congress that meets every two years when representatives of nearly every country in the world discuss the problems of 5 | million people engaged in Scout- | ing activities. General Spry gave | a 'description of the Congress which met in Norway last year, and spoke of the splendid spirit of co-operation which prevailed among people of highly diverse nationalities. He also told of a Leaders' course he attended in England where he heard the Scout promise given in 18 differ- ent languages, including Gaelic, Icelandic, Chinese and Arabic. says in his column because I am sure that in my experience I have never heard anyone make the sounds which he suggests as examples, For instance "Cawm ye Thawnkful" for "Come ye thank- ful." Another one was "Ah lawk yaw voice very mawch.' No! I can't even imagine anyone trying to sing like that. Then this other columnist call- ed the trilling of the "r" abomin- able. It is overdone, I will agree, but I do maintain that there is a purpose for this as well as there is a purpose in giving a slight exaggeration to the sounding of all consonants in vocal work. The big essential in voice pro- ward. Tone cannot be brought forward if the breath is not al- lowed to come as forward as is possible. Sounding the consonants not only brings that breath for- ward but also gives a more fin- ished production, pleasanter tone with better carrying qualities. Take a minute or two, try and trill 'an "r" and see how much breath it takes to do it. Take the other consonants like "M" "N" or any of them for that matter. They are all produced by a stoppage of breath either at the lips or at the roof of the mouth with the tip of the tongue. It doesn't matter 'much whether the consonant is at the beginning of a word or at the end, the ten- dency is to keep the breath coming forward. A 'vocalist will tell you that the hardest words to produce are the ones which he- gin with what we call open vow- els, that is they have no conson- ant in front. Words like and, op- en and several others, S I do not suggest that we should be self-conscious about these matters but it is a fact that to get proper articulation there has |to be a certain amount of exag- |geration in the pronunciation of |words_ It is only by abundant practice that vocalists lose their self-consciousness on the subject. It is all very well for people to y that when such and such a choir sings or so and so singer |sings you can tell every word, but |it is my contention, yes and my experience, that the ones I under- stand the most the where I have the words in front of me or where I happen to know are ones.

I never intended to write it anyway. It was only when T read somebody else's opin- ion that I ventured mine but it does lead me up to this conclus- ion that it doesn't matter how perfect a person or a choir gets, there is always something to strive for, and when we have done striving, who is going to tell us, yes, who is capable of tell ing us we are perfect?
