E. Donnelly, B. A., deliver his Jecture on "Marriage the Pike's Peak United Church Tuesday evening. This lecture has been given over 100 times, but it is so filled with just the things that sustain the sacred relationship of marriage that it cannot be repeated too often. Rev. Donnelly has the poet- ic temperament to make an audience feel loves sweet aroma past the court- ship days away into the "brook glad- dened meadows" of a successful mar- riage, metaphorically speaking. A safeguard for the happiness of marriage is the expression of the af- fections. Love is bound to die if it has no expression. We should never allow pride or sensitiveness to seal our lips against the natural expressions OL love. Don't economize on terms of endearment. Don't take love for granted. Speak it out. From 16 to 66 she loves the man _ she loves. We should never let the romance of love die,' said the speaker. "To all this must be added the ele- men tof faith. Believe in your 'hus- band. Have faith in your wife. Sus- picion and doubt always spell ruin. Jealousy is sure to be fateful, People like to be trusted. And if the method of loving confidence will not work then nothing will. But a mutual faith in God that brings into life a partnership that makes the home a trinity of joy, so that even the praver life of the home is shared and mar- ried people look forward to all of life together. lifting their visions even beyond this world's portals, making home on earth only a part of the eter- nal home, will lift marriage to a place of supreme eminence--the Pike's Peak of Success."

This was one of the fastest and cleverest exhibitions of Junior hockey ever displayed in Listowel. The game was featured with clever stick-hand- ling and wonderful back-checking by both teams, being very clean and closely contested throughout.
