Surely the President should feel his efforts were not in vain when he asked for a little more inter- est by the older ones in the work of the Young People. The Bible study was taken by Rev. Mr. Flindall, taking as his background the Book of Revelation, explaining many parts that are often abused. The topic for the evening was along the line of Missions using as a basis, an extract from Rev. Geo. Pringle's book, "In Great Waters" entitled "The Sky Pilat and the Skookum-Church. " In this talk the point of wakening up and questioning ourselves, are we doing as much as we might for the good of the community, was particu- larly stressed. The work done or the good achieved by Rev. Mr. Pringle should be just as easy for any of us ta do-if- we-couid i only see it in our daily life. It does not particularly need beautiful sur- roundings or great space to cover. We might derive a great deal of bene- fit in the following poem: "Father where shall I work to-day?" And my love flowed warm and free; Then He pointed me out a tiny spot And said, "Tend that for me." I answered quickly, "Oh, no not that Why, no one would ever see No matter how well my work was done Not that little place for me." And the word He spoke, it was not stern, He answered me tenderly Oh little one, search that heart of thine Art thou working for them or me?" the Old Sunday School" we won't be surprised if some night we hear Frank on Major Bowes' amateur hour as a yodeller, He can do it, and no mis- take, After a recitation, "Bumble- bees' by Miss Alexa Stone, Rev. Mr, Flindall moved a vote of thanks to all who had helped with the evening's entertainment and especially Miss E, Graham who had been responsible for the program. Rev. Mr, Flindall spent a couple of days in Toronto this week. We are glad to report a number of | those on the sick list dre recovering 'nicely, There is room for improve- ment in Mr. Frank Watson's condition yet, and his friends join in wishing him a speedy recovery. Sorry to re- port Mrs. John Wannamaker confined to her home through illness, We hope these bright days we have occasionally will become more numerous and so be { beneficial to the sick. Mr. Liscar Scott is visiting relatives in Peterboro. Miss Jean Sellery, of Toronto, visit- ed her mother Mrs, C. Sleep recently. - Mr, and Mrs. Hugh Strong and babe of Manchester, spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. M. Stone. Seagrave Sunday School was not in the. background on Sunday morning. 1t wasn't necessary to stay away from Sunday School in order to listen in as King Edward VIII delivered his first speech to the Empire since his father's death, Rev. Mr. Flindall had kindly installed his radio in the schoolroom of the church and all that was neces- sary was to be on. time. There was an attendance of 101. We were pleased to see Mr. John Mark, the Superintendent, with us again after being confined to his home for several weeks.

We should strive to get close to our friends, like Rev. Mr, Pringle, who put his mind to the task of searching out ways of making his people's lives brighter, cheering them, softening| their hearts, worming his way into their confidence so that some day they would come to him for help in more serious and vital ways. His aim be- ing to have them look on him as a true and trust-worthy friend. James Whitcomb Riley's poem, "Your fellow- woman" is quite fitting along this line also a good addition to that poem scrapbook. How often we set out to help some one, make ourselves a lot of promises about what we will do in the year to come or perhaps to-morrow, then stop possibly just when our friendship is most needed. Why not take the work of Rev. Dr. Pringle or men like him as an example and say to ourselves. These are my people, and anything I can do with my boat, my hand and feet, my voice, my pen, my influence and example, in the name of Christ, to smooth their road, guide their thoughts or ease their burdens, these things I must strive to do or prove false to my Master." . We might bene- fit also from Douglas Malloch's poem, "Just be The Best." On Friday evening the Quadrata Girls' Club held a soup supper in the schoolroom of the church. You re- member a few weeks ago I told you to be sure and keep that date open. It being Leap Year you never know what these girls are going to put over on you. However, the bachelor's hearts were set at ease when Mr. Glen Wan- namaker acting as master of cere- monies introduced his group of en- tertainers from "Birdseye Centre." After enjoying such a repast at the tables we were quite willing to sit quietly for awhile and listen to these amateurs do their "stuff." Mrs. Wallace assisted at the piano during the community singing. I s p- pose that was just to let the en tainers get warmed up. Master Harold Scott and Clare Wooldridge, as end- men were not at a loss for numerous wise cracks. Miss Jean Harding dressed in a pirate's suit sang "On Treasure Island". Little Doris Wal- lace in her sweet unaffécted manner sang a couple of numbers, "When- I Grow Up" and "Animal Crackers in My Soup". Miss Sina Irvin on her guitar, acompanied Misses Gloria Harding, Eileen Sornberger, Alexa Stone, May Bredin and Durella Mar- tin in their interpretation of "Let Me Call You Sweetheart," Mr, Joe Grantham was not lacking in wit and brought forth many laughs from the audience. He also sang one of his popular songs but insisted on the whole group joining in the chorus. Master Reg. Moase, another of the witty ones recited "Plurals". Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Walace gave a num- ber on the piano.. The applause they received showed the appreciation ot their duet, Misses Dorothy Reynolds and Fern Moon sang a duet "In the Shadow of the Pines." Mr, Frank Harding and Miss Jean Harding sang "Roll Along Prairie Moon" as a first guitar, After their encores "Back in for their labor, and that they be paid 17%e. per hour It is understood recent regulations permit municipalities d welfare boards to cut men off relief if they refuse to work, and Darlington town- ship council, although not wishing to cut off any one from relief, is trying to provide work for as many men as possible, PROSPECT V~ The Women's Association met at the home of Mrs. Ganton Webster on Wednesday afternoon with a large at- tendance.
