That the church was never more practical {than to-day. was the conten- tion of Dr. Pidgeon, who took for his text in the morning, 1 John 4-9: ‘In ward us, because that God sent His only Begotten Son into the- World, that we might Live through Him.” Take away the contribution of Christianity and the world would be poor indeed, stated the preacher, who, in touching on the purpose of the church’s existance, referred also to how she had lead in the fight against evil, including the struggle for temp- erance and the preservation of the th—in fact all that mienaces the higher life of man. But there was danger, ‘the speaker pointed out, that the church, in ord n The thgee things by which Christ was tempted on the were good in themselves, but evil, said Dr. Pidgedn, when they would turn Him aside from His central purpose of redeeming mankind. Some say Christ came into the world to deal a death blow to sin; others to give a new ideal of service, but the central purpose of the coming tionship to God, that He might lead us, stated the preacher, into the same relationship to God as'He had. Special music in the morning con- sisted of anthems by the chofr, a solo by Miss Walker and quartet by..Miss Walker, Mrs. A. Hamilton, Mr. Hoov- er and Mr. T. L. Hamilton. That the hope of the world lies in its vicarious life, was the thought Dr. Pidgeon sought to emphasize at the even service, when he took for his text 1 Peter 2-21: “For Even hereunto were ye called, because uffered for us, leaving us B exa: hat ye should follow His 8 pringiple, he noted, was illus- There is not a thing in our social Hf@ that isn’t there because profes- sitig Christians are tamely acqtfies- cent in what they condemn, said Dr. Pidgeon, who charged that too many were guilty of failing to-stand up for principles for fear of social ostracism or other equally weak excuse. The cause, he went on, needs martyrs and unless we are prepared to take our stand the world will never believe. There must be thgse who are willing to invest their lives for the uplift of ie fellows, and to help men, sai Dr. Pidgeon, cll ig be one with them, and ust accept responsibi- lity, for. their Ngher welfare. es the anthems by the choir, the crake in the evening consisted of solos by Mrs. A. Hamilton and Miss Mr. T. L. Hamilton.

Kingsville Has Its “Masher” Problem Kingsville, Oct. 8—This tewn has its ““‘masher”’ problem as well as Lon- don, and the council is taking steps to deal with the matter. The chief of police has been instructed to take action. At the regular meeting of the council, a deputation from the W. Cc. T. U. composed of Mrs. J. £. J. Millyard and Miss Ritchie, addressed the members regarding children of very tender years having cigarettes in their possession, and urged that efforts be made to find out who was supplying the little boys -with the smokes. They also drew attention} to the practice indulged in by certain drivers of autos and buggies of ac- costing women and girls on the street and urging them to go for a ride. The council went on record that it would have the chief of police attend to rls complaints. Boy On Bicycle In Collision With Car Gordon Turnbull, —, student and sén of Mr. and Mrs. W.
