On the previous Sun- day at Prospect, Patsy Holtby played, and both George and Patsy did a very fine work. - It was a good suggestion that we ask these two young people to help with the music. So next Sun- day will be our Anniversary Services . on the Island. The Morning Service will be at 11.156 a.m, at the "Head" and the Evening at 8.00 p.m. at the "Centre". The Minister will take the Morning Service, together with Ser- vices at the regular hours at Prospect and -Manchester, We have invited Kaye Smith of Prospect to sing for us in the Morning. The Choir will be on hand to lead us in the singing. There is no reason why the Church should not be filled to overflowing, and we do invite all the friends of Scugog to come. Then in the even- ing, our Guest Preacher will be Rev, E. W. Fuller, B.A.,, L.Th. of Port Perry. The Lyric Male Chorus of Toronto will sing for us. This will be a wonderful treat for all of us, and we hope that there will be a great response, We are making arrangements to have an experienced Scout Leader come to us for awhile. We have about twenty Scouts, and very good materials to work with, as far as leadership is concerned. But we do need some help to get off to a good start. Both our Scout Masters have done a good job.

So much work and ef- fort has to be put in boys and girls work; and we hope that Mother and Dad will help us all they can. We are trying to make the best arrange- ments for you boys. This Saturday will be Apple Day, and all Scouts and Cubs wishing to help are asked to get in touch with Frank Henry. Sunday, October 30th will be the last of our Summer Schedule, and the Sacrament of Baptism will be admin- istered.
