Toronto Star boastcd a few weeks ago of b.eing- the first to broaca-st a sermon by radio in the British Empire. Bowmianville now makes the claimi to second place in this part of Ontarîo in this unique dis- tinction. Through the eC4orts of Reeve C. E. Rehder and Mr. L. J. Clayton this was mnade possible -when at least. 50 local radio fans heard the sermon broadcasted whicî was "e ivercd on Sun.day evening last by '11ev. D. W. Best, M. A., minister of St. Paul's Presbyteriau Clurel. A wire was struug- froni the church 'to a 20-watt transmitting--set located at Mr' Rehder's resideuce, a distance of about 14î mile, and froni here the sermon was broadcasted. A micro- phone pick-up device was placed on the pulpit. So successful was this test thnt pext Suniday both services at St. Paul's Churdli wijl be broad- casted -whena larg-er microphone wili le used enabling, the tones ta be clearer and louder.

The hiuge bli was greater tIený any m'em- ber anticipated and more than they cared to be held responsible for con- tracting. .Explanations were lying fronahl quarters, but they camne too late. For, at the first meeting- of the present couneil held Jauuary Sth, wI'en ail miiembers were present, the following rèsolution was passed without opposi- tion: Moved ly Coun. W. H. Tiiick- ,oin and seconded by Deputy Reeve M. J. Elliott "'That the matter of appointm-ent of audi- tors be left in the hands' of the Finance Commuittee". We are not aware if the Finance Coiii;ttee held any meeting to dis- ýuss tMs subjeet and decide on what action to take.
