In the even- ing every seat was occupied, and some two hundred chairs were car- ried in to accommodate those who wished to hear the distinguished preacher of the day. At the morning service, Dr. Pid- geon spoke on the subject, "The Church," and took for his toxt, Zechariah II, 1-5. In opening his discourse, Dr. Pidgeon said that "the spiritual forces of the world cannot be weighed or measured." la celebrating the seventy-third anni- versary of the church, we look back at something that has happened in the past, .but to pis mind, what speaks. loudest in the life of a church is the work which is being carried on by those who have for- merly worshipped within the church, and who have moved to new fields of labor.. The important factor is the influence of the spiritual orga- nization, quickening tne lives where it has gone. \ Again referring to those who haye left the church for other parts f thc world during its seventy-thro years of. its service in the.commu- nity, Dr. Pidgeon stated that it would be impossible to tabulate what these people have done. The church reaches many people through its ministry, who are greatly helped, but are unaware of the fact, as those. who are touched do not al- ways report. The preacher stated that "the church is a power, form- ing the atmosphere of the commu- nity," and is a source of inspiration, sending out men to work out its jdeals in their own way. In closing, Dr. Pidgeon said that the God -who guided our fathers in the past, will guide us in the promotion of the work of God. "The Idea of Progress," was the subject of Dr. Pidgeon's sermon, at the evening service. He took for his text, Philipplans IIT, 3. Dr. Pid; geon, during the 'course of hia ex- cellent sermon, said that we #are showing the same courage as our fathers did when they broke away from the old traditions, and every- thing is moving forward into larger |-'opportunities. . We must develop new methods to meet new needs. In closing Dr. Pidgeon said that his message was one of hope; he had no fear of the future. Rev. Dr. R. H. Bell, pastor, was | in the pulpit at both services, and extended the appreciation of the congregation to Dr. Pidgeon for his message. The anniversary services 'were unique in the fact that it was the last anniversary service of Syd- enham street church as a Methodist congregation, as it will enter the United Church of Canada om Juno 10th, 1925, and the final anniver- sary services were preached by a Presbyterian minister. The corner stone of Sydenham street church was laid by the late John Counter, on 17th April, 1851, and the church was officially opened in the following March.

OLAIM THAT WORKERS LOAFED ON THE JOB Court of Revision Calls in Ex- pert to Decide if Property Owners Overcharged. The, city Court of Revision held another session on Saturday after- noon with regard to appeals by own- ers of vacant property on Frontenac and Barrie streets against what they declared excessive charges for labor on excavations for sewer, gas and water pipes. Evidence was taken from :C. C. Folger, general manager of the civic utilities, which did the work. Mr. Folger defended the charges made anfl stated thut the, rock excavation im Frontenac street was exceptionally difficult. He did not think. the property owners . had been overjrhanged and defended the figures of 'the department foreman. Two of the appellants, W. J. Ar- ofel and John Naylon, claimed that some of the workmen had loafed on the job, which should not have taken so long to do. In ordsr to arrive at a decision, he court has decided to call Mr. ugh Douglas to give expert evi- dence. M¥. Pouglas has done similar excavation work as a contractor, and will be able to say if the charge for labor is excessive. KIRK AND THE COURT.

HU'#. and FIRE DOES DAMAGE T0 ANGLIN PLANING MILL i Oonfined to Paint Shop-- Damage Will Amount to Be= tween $5,00 and $6,000. A fire which caused damage to the extent of between $5,000 and $8,000, broke out in Anglin's mill on Satur- day night in what is known as the planing building. The cause was evi- dently spontgneous combustion but the fire was confined mostly to the paint shop in the upper storey of the building. ! The entire floor was completely cleaned out and the loss, of paints and glass is very heavy. The smoke was very thick and the firemen, who answered the telephone call at 10.25 o'clock, found hard work ahead of them, so dénse was the smoke which poured from the building and imped- t{ed their progress. The paints and glass, which were stored on the floor in which the fire occurred were a complete loss after the fire. » Four lines of hose were used by 'the brigade and the flames, were soon ugpder control, but the thick masses of smoke continued to pour out of the building and gave the fire fighters plenty of opposition. For two hours and a half they worked before they were able to draw in their lines and return to the station. The loss is covered by insurance. By Our Student Correspondent. franchise.
