Special anthems were arranged by the choir for both services with a solo at the morning service by Mrs. A. Svekers and Mrs. H. Wipprecht in the evening. The President of the Toronto Conference, the Rev. J. C.. Kell preached the sermon during the morning worship service. He chose for his subject, 'Teaching our children the Christian way of life." He stressed the importance of Christian education in church and the home. The Bible, he said, is full of lessons and teachings which must be passed on to our child- ren so they may learn the will and purpose of God for them. The Christian way of life is the best way of life and we must teach Christianity to our children by precept and example. At the conclusion of the sermon, Mr. T. Welch, chairman of the building committée, invited the congregation ito proceed to the Church Hall for the purpose of ded- ication.

Miller, principal at the Cobalt High School was guest speaker at the banquet held in the Community Hall on Wednesday, November 11, by the Canadian Le- gion Branch 44. In summing up his Remembrance Day address he stressed these points. It is only Mrs. M. Rajala of Cobalt teaches the sewing groups taking night lessons at Cobalt High school. Above, right, she shows two Cobalt ladies the art of cutting out, The high school is experiencing ~ the highest enrollment for night school classes in its history. reasonable to assume that those gallant men and women who died that our civilization and way of life might be preserved would ex- pect that we, the living, 'would dedicate our lives to maintaining, fostering, encouraging and defend- ing our precious heritage. The fundamental pillars of our Western Civilization are firmly fixed in the solid bases of Chris- tianity and Political Democracy. We must progress or retrogress. There is no such a solution as standing still in these dynamic times. Initiative, Co-Operation and Education make progress possible. Progress is not _ always steady. Man is innately con- servative. He is bound in by his own ignorance which makes him fear what is strange and new. Emphasis on unity is not alto- gether a bad thing because man alone is a helpless animal and not every novelty that individuals think of is conducive to the good of all. If every one of us had en- tirely his own way, society would be disrupted into an utter chaos. The Problem is to Preserve the group without destroying individu- al initiative, which is the first step in all progress. Slave States destroy themselves through -hatred of subjugated peoples. Worship of one God gives a breath of vision which cuts across national boundaries. Eternal vigilance is the Price of Freedom. Constant participation is the only means by which members of a group can retain their' power. In- difference marks the beginning of the end. The way to Freedom is difficult, difficult enough to be a challenge to the best efforts and highest qualities of man. As men's responsibilities widen, the breath of vision must compel them to realize that freedom must be shar- ed by all. In closing, Mr. Miller said, men must learn to acquire the patience to permit freedom even when it is easier to use force. Mr. A. R. Herbert; MPP was master of ceremonies for the ev- ening and introduced Mr. Miller. President of the Legion, Mr. W. McPherson thanked Mr. Miller on behalf of the Legion and those in attendance. Head table guests were Mr. A. R. Herbert, MPP and Mrs. Her- bert, His Worship, Mayor F. Purdy and Mrs. Purdy, President of the Legion, Mr. W. McPherson and Mrs. McPherson, President of the Ladies' Auxiliary to the Cana- dian Legion, Mrs. P. Wink and Mr. Wink, Mr. R. J. Miller, Lieut. Hetherington of the Salvation Army, and Zone Commander: of the Ladies' Auxiliary, Temiskam- ing District K 1, Mrs. E. White- head. The toast to the Queen was tend- ered by W. McPherson, to the Fallen by J. Jones, and tto the La- dies by R. Sopha. | About 150 people , attended the banquet for which the Ladies' Auxiliary catered. The Country Club orchestra sup- plied the music for the evening of dancing. Installations at Shuniah Chapter O.E.S.
