The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper in connection with St. Andrew's Church will be held the first Sunday in February at the usual hour of service, 2.30 o'clock. Preparatory service will be held on the Friday afternoon preceding the Sacramental occasion. Mr. Joseph Mcintosh of Outlook, Sask., a former resident of this vicinity, in writing to his sister here a few days ago, gives a striking instance cf what farmers are up against in our Wiestern Provinces. A farmer living just outside of Outlook shipped to the Winnipeg market GO head of sheep and 8 head of cattle for which the returns netted him less than $70. Twenty-two geese brought the magnificent sum of $7.00. Much sympathy has been felt and expressed to Mr. and Mrs. John Mc-Kague and family of Castleton, called upon to endure the painfully sad aiid. unexpected calamity which betel them last week. The painful circumstances in connection with the accidental death of the son and brother called forth a spontaneous outburst of sympathy and sorrow from the entire locality .We extend sincere sympathy to the sorely strickened family. The mid-winter open meeting of the Wicklow-Vernonville Women's Institute will be held on Friday night of this week with Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Turk as host and hostess. "Books" is forming the topic for discussion rnd with the programme in competent hands an evening of interest and profit is anticipated. Vocal and instrumental music will form the intersper-sal numbers. Members are asked to come prepared to name their favorite hook and give reasons for their choice. Husbands--that is members husbands, we presume--are to have their "last" opportunity of telling a joke. "Their last joke." Lunch will be served. The members extend a cordial invitation. St. Andrew's W. M. S. . The first meeting of the year for St. Andrew's W. M. S. was held at the home of Mrs. C. B. Turk on Tuesday afternoon last, with the President, Mrs. Robert Litster in her place. After the usual devotional exercises and the reading and disposing of the minutes of last meeting the roll call was responded to by Scriptural verses, with the use of the letter L. Six visitors were present. Several matters of business were then attended to. It was decided to change the day of the Mission Band from Tuesday afternoon to Saturday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock. Mrs. F. Jones and Miss Myrtle Law-son are to" be Leaders. A discussion followed on the members responsibility to their Presbyterial organization; as to their attendance and general co-operation in the meetings and as to their registration as officials and members of standing committees. A heart-to-heart talk was had and the conviction grew upon the members that they owed a large measure of enthusiasm and co-operation to the Presbyterial as well as to the local Society It was felt that each member should manifest more loyalty and mere interest and under no circumstances allow outside influences or irterests to mimimize their ardor or efforts. Accordingly the following members were appointed as delegates t< the Presbyterial meeting to be held In Brighton on Wednesday, February the 3rd: Mrs. Robert Litster, Mrs. C. B Turk and Mrs. WT(m. Gillespie. Mrs. C. B Turk was convener of the programme which followed and which consisted of further studies in the year book, with readings and a vocal solo from Mrs. C. S. Rutherford. The cosing half hour was spent in a social way with lunch being served. The convener for the February programme is Mrs. Wm.,S. Gillespie.

LOYALTY The word thaf means most to me In describing a friend of mine-- Any sort of a friend, you understand, A dog, a horse, or a porcupine, Or a little old man, or a big gruff one, Or a freckled ^oy with eyes twinkling Or a shy little girl, or a grave young man, Or a motherly lady, or a Jill or a Jan; Oh it doesn't matter what the friend may be, But 1 lovtj that word called lofralty. "Pocohontas'1 E. M. C. tunately was unable to be present but a discussion, improviso, took up the time assigned to this and was an interesting feature of the meeting. Miss Hildred Nichol in an excellent ten minute address told "why" we should read, and Rev. A. J. Terrill in an admirable manner gave the distinguishing characteristics of books worth reading. Solos by Mrs. R. Barnard and a reading by Miss D. Fisk, made up the other numbers of the programme. At the next meeting, on Wednesday evening, Feb. 1st, the topic will be "Temperance." The programme will be convened by Misses C. Terrill and Greta Cowie, and on this occasion it is hoped that Master Harold Knight of WSckl&w can be prevailed upon to deliver the address which he gave at the County Temp-ciance Convention in Cobourg a short time ago, and which was so favorably ctmmented upon. The association has received invitations from Colborne and Grafton societies to come and fraternize with hem some evening. The visiting society to provide the programme.

In a few days' time one hundred and twenty boys, who made up the Twelfth Ontario Older Boys' Parliament, will launch out on a province-wide campaign to raise the $11,000 needed to finance the work carried on under the auspices of the Ontario Boys' Work Board. They will be ably assisted in the momentous job by several thousand Trail Rangers, T'uxis Boys and Mentors. The proceeds will be used in giving leadership to character-building programmes, the purpose of which is to help the boys to Seek Truth, Cherish Health, Love God, and H<fl> Others. The money, in addition to providing the leadership of two secretaries, who travel thirty thousand miles annually ,'n the interests of the work, make pos-s'ble thirty-five summer camps, several training camps for older boys and leaders, twelve older boys' conferences rnd programme materials and leadership helps for twelve thousand Trail and Tuxis boys throughout Ontario. A remarkable aspect of the work is the fact that the boys themselves raise the money to carry on the work. In fact the past eleven years they have raised no less than one hundred thousand dollars for this purpose. Mr. M. J. Hutchinson, President of the Rotary Club of Toronto, in speaking of^the boys, says: "During the past ten years or more the Rotary Club of Toronto has on numerous occasions entertained the members of the Older Boys' Parliament and our men have br-en much impressed wUh the splen-cMd type of young manhood they represent. Now they are back in their home communities trying to improve conditions as they affect boys. I hope t'aey will receive every encouragement rnd support from the members of service clubs across the Province." "Belle of Baltimore" Flour for $1.90 er hundred at.
