Sunday Dec. 26, was a day of valediction--a valediction--a day of farewell--a day when the congregation of the Charlotte-st, Methodist Methodist Church, Peterboro, worshipped for the last time in their old church home. To a few it was a day of sadness, a day full of cherished memories; to others a day of gladness, a day of the fondest hopes. Instead of the regular sermon Sunday evening addresses were given by Rev. J. P. Wilson, pastor, ahd Rev. H. M. Manning, Manning, a former pastor. Special mention was made of the late Rev. D. O. Crossley and Rev. A. M. Mansell who did much for this church.

There is nothing in their composition that will injure the most delicate stomach stomach when directions are followed, and they can be given to children in the full assurance that they will utterly destroy all worms. LETTER FROM THE FRONT. EVERYBODY VOTES BUT MOTHER J. W. Bengough. Everybody votes but mother, She used to vote once, too, But when she got married to father The law said it wouldn't do. When mother was just a spinster, Like my spectacled sister, Ann, She had a right to thé ballot, j But, alas, she married a. man! So everybody votes but mother: Father, Sister Ann, and I, My widowed- aunt and my brother, And mother wants to know why. Everybody votes but mother, • 'Cause mother, she changed her name ; 'Looks as- though some how or other, Getting married must be a shame; They take away the votes from fellows fellows Who have been convicted in court, And it seems that spinsters who marry, Are bracketed with that sort, So that's where they rank poor • mother; They've struck her name from the roll, While sister, aunt and father And I all go to the poll! Everybody votes but mother, Through our stupid aaid senseless law, And there's not on the list another Who needs the vote more 1 than maw; She cares for the home and the children, children, And has a right to say On the laws that affect the household household In any possible way. So we must have a vote for mother, Without waiting for dad to die; For the wife as well as the widow And s.pinster--or we'll know why.

Laugher, that at the choir practice on Christmas eve thev made him a present of $50. Mr. T. S. Holgate told Mr. Laugher after the practice how much the choir members appreciated his thoro teaching, his patience and untiring efforts in their behalf. It is à great achievement to win the respect of all with whom one is associated associated and to interest them keenly in their work as he does. Mr. A. W.

No. 4, Darlington, on Dec., 23, was declared to be the best yet, at any rate it was very good, the program being greatly enjoyed. The sketches from Nellie McCIung's "Sowing Seeds in Danny" were very amusing and the pupils displayed considerable talent in acting especially Arthur Found as "wee Danny". An interesting interesting scene entitled "Tom Sawyer Whitewashes the fence" from Mark Twain's book of that name played by six boys of the school produced roar after roar of laughter and introduced to the audience a rising young actor in the person person of Walter Rundle, who played the title role. Another attractive number was the "Knitting Drill and Chorus", by girls in Belgian costumes and six boys in military uniform. A dialogue "All at Sea" presented by six young people of the section section under the direction of Mr. Harry Stafford was splendidly given and brought forth many words of appreciation. In the "March of the Allies" the closing number each of the allied countries was represented represented by a pupil in costume who remained in position while a national air of that country was sung in chorus by the pupils. The Russian Bear, the. Highlander, the Minstrel Boy, MissyCanada and Britannia were about the best and as might be expected expected received hearty applause. The school owes Miss Muriel Penfound and Mr. Frank Walter for patriotic music selections, selections, to Miss Louise Osborne, for her accompaniments for the scholars' work and to the Pickell Orchestra for their generous music. The total proceeds of the concert- were $22.75 and $18.61 has been handed to Mr. W. E. Gerry, Treas-1 urer for Patriotic Fund. This amount I with $20.65 collected on Red Cross Day, ! makes a total of $39 21 from this school. ' Well done little Patriots! ! Rev. R. A. Delve Pastor of this circuit very pleasantly pleasantly and efficiently performed the duties of chairman and sustainçd the interest to the end. THE "NO TREAT" LAW. Fewer People Visit Saloons and Less Drink Is Sold. Officiai police approval is given to the no-treating ordinance in a report from the headquarters of the London police on its workings from October 11, when it went into effect, to November November 1. The police report generally generally that less drink is being sold, fewer fewer people visit the saloons, and those who do stay for a shorter time than before, and there is less drunkenness, especially among women. The ordinance ordinance is being punctually observed, the police say, in all the 12,"000 licensed places in the London area. The report says, in part : "There is a consensus of opinion among the superintendents of all disfi- sions that drunkenness, generally, and among women in particular, has decreased. "A marked diminution in the number number of women and children standing outside public houses drinking has been noticed and in many districts the practice has ceased altogether. "Police have invariably found fewer people on licensed premises and a tendency tendency to make shorter stays has been observed. "Practically no breaches of order have occurred, and licensees and their servants have shown at all times their willingness to assist the police. Man for Sunday Work. "Tommy Atkins" pleaded exemption from church parade on the ground that he was an agnostic. The sergeant-major sergeant-major assumed an expression of innocent interest.
