MAYNE JUBILEE SERVICES In nse to an invitation from the friends of Mayne Chirch, tender- ed by their devoted and much beloy- ed pastor, Rev. John Smith, to con- duct the Jubiiee services there, it was my prvilege to go back, after an absence of over twenty-two years, to greet and to be greeted by many who were then my parishidners. The dates were September 19th and 20th, the weather lovely, and the people of that community availed themsel- ves of the opportunity of worship- ping together on the occasion of the 50th anniverary of the opening of their church. The attendance was arge,— many unable to get in at country. Mr. Johncon says: ‘‘The best time} for training {*in childhood. For that reason I am an advocate of the! teaching of music in the«schools. Ij would like to see it ona par! with arithmetic. If of ten’ thousand children you were to turn! Put one musician, because it had had that in- ipresent from Newbridge, the morning service. Friends were Fordwich, Molesworth and Listowel. The choir was made up chiefly by those who Were members in former years, which added much to the interest of the occasion. For myself, I felt the spiritual atmosphere was uplifting. There was a tinge of regret that so many of the older ones had gone, {but their absence was softened with the thought that they had laid down | the staff of their pilgrimage and tak- palm of the victors.

The words are not much in: themselves, but the tone in which | they were uttered and the fact that | the lady was from the United Sta-/ tes made the remark objectionable. She, in company with three or four others, had made a small purchase and had received one of our sniall Canadian nickels in change. a*thoughtless remark. It may have only been made in order to let oth- ers know that she was from the Un- ited States, or it may have been made to show her dislike to our #mall coin in comparison with their larger one. But, the word “dirty” contained a slur on Canada to the mind of the editor and the clerk who heard the remark. Such thoughtless remarks only tend to antagonize. , -= WHY PEOPLE DO NOT VOTE According to the president of the National Get-out-the-Vote Club in the United States, the increased use of the automobile is given as the principal reason why people do not vote. This may apply in the states where election day is a public holi- day, and many people take advant- age of the holiday and go away on a trip. But, we believe that the principal Teason why people do not vote is ow-/* ing to a spirit of trresponsibility. The thought comes to the minds of Many ,that their one vote will make no particular difference. They have almost never heard of an election contest being decided by one vote, 60 they think the result is not affected if they stay away. But if a considerable number of election results will be affected, and incompetent people get into office.

People owe an obligation not merely to refrain from wrong acts themselves. but to co-operate with the-rest of the community to do nec- essary things. A man might say, when his country declared war, that it would make no difference if he e-' vaded service, and that the army would be-se strong without him.

It was pleasing indeed to witness the fine spirit of the people, vieing with each.other to make the services Successful and profitable. n Monday evening the church was again filled, taxing to the limit ite capacity. The pastor proved himeelf an admirable chairman. The program consisted of selections by local talent, a fine contingent of singers from Listowel, and addres- by Rev. Mr. Chandler, Mr. Barnett and the writer. No admis- sion fee was charged, but the volun- tary offerings on Sunday and Mon- ay quite met the expectations of the officials and lad‘es of the congrega- tion. t was a great joy indeed to meet so many friends of former years, re- new acquaintances, share their hoe- pitality and minister to them again in high and holy things.

The upper surface of soil in a pot shonld be one inch below the edge of the pot. This space is allowed for watering so that soil will not flood over the edge of the pot when wa- ter is put on.

All potted bulbs except and Oxalis should be placed’ ih “» dark, cold place for four to’ ten weeks. Paper Whites require even less time, The object of this resting period is to give time for the roots to develop slowly and surely before the plants are brought into the light. he pots may be stored for this resting period either indoors or out- doors.
