Sec. ie The World of Play * ok ook EER RS Dryden is experiencing a phase of i amature entertainments that keeping public interest keyed up to a high pitch. The emulation of var- ious bodies has developed such un- suspected talent of late that they aie fast outgrowing the local field and are seeking the applause of neighbour communities. Oxdrift has been the scene of one such event, and there are prospects of another visiting there SO0I. : are mead The Musical Eckards, "Swiss Bell Ringers," who are billed to play the Strand Theatre on thursday evening April 27th, have entertaining the public for a quarier of a century.

A meeting was held last Tuesday of the Dryden Baseball Magnates, at which a committee was appointed to arrange for financial support. The leading place gained by our team last summer, and the success that once again secured to Dryden the honour of holding the coveted Shragge Cup, should stir the pride of citizens, and impel them to extend the necessary support to make possible the continuance of their pre-eminence in athletics There is more to"this matter than the winning of a few games. In the combined effort made to carry Dryden to the front, there is developed the unity of sentiment that rapidly ex- tends to other matters cf public con- cern, and is a powerful factor in the building of a strong community. To the world outside, the prestige of Dryden is measured by the evidences of public faith in those things that represent our Town, and bear the proud name "Dryden" as trade-mark. If the strong lead that is being given in this and other directions is to meet with coldness or shiftless in- difference, never can we hope to be- cone a Town whose name is mention- ed with respect by others. We are the Town: if we have not regard for our own honour; it will be because we do] not possess the spirit that arouses enthusiasm for the place wherein we work out our several destinies, The football season is again upon us, and the boys are looking their equipment in readiness for hte! heavy work of the season. It will be good news for them to learn that the first steps toward the! formation of a strong team are now being taken. A meeting was held] in the Town Hall on Tuesday, April] 1ith, at 7.30 p.m., for the purpose of « forming a football club. This meeting was very well attend- ed, and it wuld appear from the oui-| come that a very enthusiastic football association has been formed. : !

Every one "just like me." Such a church ought to please me. Would it the Master? What kind of a Prayer Meeting should we have? Every member "just like me." How about our Young Peop- le's Society, the Sunday School? And the church treasurer? How much mon oy would he have? "Just like me." | What would the unconverted say a- bout such a church?
