Memlbers of all denominations joined with their Anglican brethren to worship God for the gift of a bountiful harvest. Great credit must be given to those ladies who had decorated the Church with autumn leaves, flowers and fruit; the building never looked more beautiful. On Friday the Service was lead by the choir of Christ Church, Belleville, whose singing of the familiar harvest hymns and psalms provided a jubilant background for the general prayers and thanksgivings. The visiting choir also sang (without accompaniment) a very graceful motet, "O Com© Ye Servants of the Lord" and i full anthem for the whole choir, Rejoice Greatly," concluding the Service with the Church's magnificent hym of praise--the Te Deum-- ending with its grand climax, "Let e never be confounded !-" sounding note of assurance to a world upset ! by intrigue and war, and which has I plmost lost all faith in God. i The sermons at all Services were brief; the Rev. Geo. Wright of Belleville linked up the modern Harvest Festival with the oldest religious ceremony of which we have any record and showed that "gratitude" was one of the most common emotions though In these days it was being thrust into the background by self consideration.

Figures of the Accident Recording Division of the Department of Highways show that in 1936, 9,951 out of 10,438 cars involved in accidents v/ere in apparently good condition, and 577 of 626 cars involved In fatalities seemed to be "o. k." These statistics show clearly that the defect is usually curable by the application of a little driving "horse sense." and toppled over.. Col. Scobell and Mrs. S. H.
