A large number should avail themselves of this opportunity of getting first-hand knowledge of the work in this field and the situation in general in China, which is much in the limelight at the present time.

The services were away above the ordinary in the matter of preaching and in the general arrangements made. This is the first time that Dr. Dyde. has been heard in this vicinity and It was certainly with imminent satisfaction. He has a way of presenting his message that is at once forcible and impressive. The special singing by the choir, which was augmented by singers from the Grafton and Vernon-ville choirs, and assisted by Mr. T.

Our people who attended the morning service were entertained at the hospitable homes of their Wicklow friends, and a delightful time of fellowship was had. On Monday night the excellent supper and splendid concert were greatly enjoyed. Both were of a high order of excellence. The Wicklow congregation is to be congratulated on the general success of their anniversary efforts iT' spite of unfavorable weather conditions.

Last week was the first time that a Standard Training School with specialized regieious training was ever put within such easy reach of our Sunday School Teachers or for those who are interested in specialized education for leadership. We believe it is the very first standard school of its kind ever held in Northumberland County. The curriculum included the following subjects: Child Study, Mrs. Norman White, Toronto; Teacher's Study of the Life of Christ, Rev. Mr. Clarke; Young People at Work in the Church, Rev. C. D. Daniel; and the Training of the Devotional Life. Rev. Mr. Neal. The interest taken in this school by Sunday School workers here testified to the fact that it meeting a real need.

Outside of Castleton our school here sent a larger number of students than any ether school and maintainend the highest average attendance. We were glad to note that* those who enrolled from this school divided themselves up among the different divisions. One or two taking the child study course and the others about equally divided among the remaining courses. All of the work in the various study groups was intensely interesting and full of helpfulness, and was all greatly enjoyed by our representatives. Two study periods were held each night with an intermission for devotions or recreation. Friday night, the last night of the school, a social evening was held, when the results of the examinations were made known and the certificates awarded. Vernonville had the distinction of winning the highest numlber of certificates, eight in all being awarded to our students. The following are the names of the successful students and the divisions or suibjects in which they passed: Mrs. James Deviney, the training of the devotional life; Mrs. James Robson, child study; Mrs. C. L. Turk and Mr. J. T. Robson, the life of Christ: Misses J. Ives, Lena Locke, Mary McMurray and Mr. J. Robson, young people at work in the church. Two or three of our students were unable to try their examinations or account of a shortage of examination paper. An opportunity will be afforded them later under the direction of the Ontario Religious Education Council. If they succeed in passing their examination it will make a total of eleven certificates won by our students at Northumberland's first standard training school. We congratulate our school on sending and maintaining such a good representation of students, and we congratulate all these who were successful in passing their examinations and winning their certificates. a moment's Your tele e operator i tiple personality, the switchboard -- local, long distance -- with sigrri! !--rcP to her sisters " at the other end" ready to select the track for any journey you select.
