In the evening the Methodist and North Mornington congregations cancelled their services to worship with their Thus, at night, many could not gain admittance. The congregation was very fortun- ate in securing for this Diamond Jub- flee the services of Rev. D. C. Mac- Greggor, D. D., of St. Andrew's Church, London, a most outstanding and brilliant minister of the Presby- terian church. Two very impressive sermons were delivered by this em- —— divine. In the morning, hetook his ‘text from Mark 8: 27-29, preaching on the subject “The Fact of Christ.” In the evening his subject was “The Divine Challenge” from Isaiah 52:1. They were fortunate also in again having the services of Mr. Walter McCutcheon, baritone, of Hamilton. ev. J.

The lad- re served an excellent supper in the school room, which was the original church. A splendid program was giv- en after all had been well fed and were ina ayaa to enjoy the vur- ious numbers. Rev. J. M. “Nicol acted as chalr- man and made a big hit in this cap- acity. His introduction of the Moder- ator of the Stratford Presbytery (himself), had the audience convuls- ed with»laughter and his humor throughout the entire evening was much enjoyed. Addresses were de- livered by Rev. M. L. Wing of the Evangelical church, Rev. T. > €Capt.) Edwards of the Methodist. All these ministers brought greetings and congratulations from eir re- spective congregations. . Walter McCutcheon was again present from Hamilton and gave sev- eral solos. Mrs. George Harron. o Durham, who recently left Listowel, Was present and gave a delightful song. Rev. G. Atkinson, tenor pasto-: of North Mornington Presbyterian Church sang that expressive solo, “The Plains of Peace.” The faithful choir of the church, in spite of their hard work on Sunday, were again present and rendered two anthems, “I will Feed My Flock,’ and “Break Forth Into Joy.’"’ The orchestra of the Methodist Chureh was on hand, towards Knox church and Listowel generally.

Out of this large sum of money the Government secured a revenue of $4,369,875.00, which is! supposed to be spent for the public good. “But it is a fictitious profit.

Here I must say, the English, as a whole, are as happy as the boys on the beach. They will go and take their glass of beer, and sing a song or two, and they are always smiling. And I will say with all truth, so far as I saw, there is not half the drinking, no not quarter the drinking there was when I left England 37 years you must not try to take the Englishman's glass of beer away, or you will sure get in wrong. But friends, there are some things over there that I cannot agree with, and if there is not some remedy for it I really do not know where they will get off at. One of them is the Unemployment Dole.
