Dr. Oliver was introduced by Dr. Peever. This conference was a homecoming for him, he pointed out, after a third of a century's absence. Three-quarters of a century back a Scottish settlement was established seven miles from here on the seventh concession. Both moderators given to the church by Western Cntario came from that district. He 'recalled memories of his early as- sociation with the church. There was nothing else to preach about in the United Church except Christ, said the Moderator, for He was our life. The church must make Him beloved and respected and exem- 'plified in our lives. Christ gave His life to get the people to do God's work and He gave the idea of a struggling, not an indolent God, one who »was working all the time for His people. _ Man must do his share and must have a noble conception of life, said Dr. Oliver. Man must worship and man must work if God is toachieve His divine purpose. No generation had even been more eager for ad- venture than this. one and no coun- try .so peculiarly fitted for adven- turing. It contained the oldest of rocks and-the youngest of rivers. It was made by God to be a land of nation building and adventuring, he pointed out. The country had been enriched by those from overseas and great contributions had been made to history by them. He men- tioned such adventures as Cartier Champlain, Alexander 'MacKenzie, and Closert; in our day, the men who embarked on the tremendously courageous adventure of the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, and immigra- tion from the old lands. In these days of stress Eastern and Western Canada were in close sympathy, said Dr. Oliver, and the West was grateful for what the East had done to help. Canada was explored for Christ and must be held for Him, urged the moderator. The church must be "mighty in aggres- sive movement." We should build well for God and Canada.

I expect you found it very hard to part with her." "Hard! I should think so. Between you and me, my boy, I began to think -- it was impossible!" -- THE STRATFORD MIRROR ~ The Proposed Centenary The citizens who were responsible for the steps which are being taken in regard to the proposed Centenary for Stratford next year should be compli- mented on the stand which they took at the meeting in the city hall last week. If the citizens want the cele- bration, it will be held. If the citizens do not want it, then what's the use of trying to stage one when the people who will bear the brunt of the work and expense are not co-operating? If celebration is to be held, let the peo- ple make the decision. That looks like a very sensible atti- tude, especially when the public is promptly provided with a _ simple yneans of expressing its feling. No per- son can blame the citizens who at- tended that first meeting, for dodging the issue, because practically every man present, including a number of the city council, declared himself as heartily in favor of holding a centen- nial celebration and Old Boys' Reun- ion. They would not, however, com- mit their fellow citizens whose feel- ings they did not know, to something which those fellow citizens might feel they were unable to carry out mext year. In a moment of enthusiasm, it is very easy to be carried away. Last week's meeting might easily have de- cided that a celebration should be held, and might thave immediately launched plans for it. Had this been done, probably there would have been no criticism, Instead, the project is being considered in a sane way, with every citizen being invited to express his opinion. The only way to play fair with the teniporary committee which has been formed, is to cast your bal- lot, either for or against the celebra- tion. The members committee are: Alex. Fisher, R. T. Orr, John Stev- enson, William Russell, Albert Smith, J.,.A.-Triller,.C, A. Bird, ©: J, Kneiti, J. B. Waugh, Ald. W. Y. Donaldson, and Mayor Moore as chairman, R. T. Orr will be secretary. of the temporary AGGIE WAS RIGHT The Reverend Mister Slensby had been shocked beyond measure when he learned that some of the High River younger set had put on a party during which a great deal of drinking was done, by the girls as well as the boys. So it was quite natural that he should offer a word of reproof and advice when he met Aggie Riley, who | had been there, on the street. 'Don't you. know, Aggie," he said, "what kind of girls get to Heaven?" "Sure I do," chortled Aggie, play- fully poking him in the ribs, '"That's an easy one--the dead ones!"
