Text: Psalm 90, verse 1, "Lord Thou hast been our refuge from one generaâ€" tion to another." The Rector expressed his pleasure at seeing so many of the congregaâ€" tion pfesent and reminded them again of the great thoughts of the day. It was a gathering for thanksgiving for clearing the mortgage and also for inâ€" spiration for the future. He then pointed out the vital necessity for the three great divisions of human interâ€" est, ie., daily work; the home and the hereafter. He illustrated these ideas by quotations respectively from Longâ€" fellow, Burns and Gray and Dickens. Without the Gospel message neither work, nor home,*nor the hereafter, could have any real meaning. All that we enjoy we have because that down through centuries faithful men and women have clung to the ideals of the Gospel. So it is also toâ€"day, the old story of Sodom and Gomorrah all over again, God still willingly spares the many because of the righteousness of the few. But Godâ€"wilis far more that all should know him from the least even unto the greatest. Eight years ago the Rev. Hughesâ€" Jones saw the great opportunities that Mount Dennis presented. As Rector of Weston and the district, he opened up a mission, From this mission, unâ€" der his supervision, there has been built a church that has 450 families and is free of debt. Mr. Jones retired last year and the present Rector, Rev. A. J. Arthur has taken over the comâ€" plete control. Under his leadership and concentrated efforts, with the coâ€" operation of the officials, for the past two years the work has prospered. The Rey.â€"Hughes Jones assisted in the sorâ€" vice. Mr. Arthur gave an excellent address as follows: But if religion is to be this great force in the lives of people, it must be centered in a strong and active church. We are still members one of another. â€"The Rector then expressed his joy that the congregation had done so much to put the church in & strong position. They were now free of the need of making payments on interest or mortgage and could turn their resources to more definitely conâ€" structive work. Missions could now be more freely supported and the church from time to. time further beautified as it would seem wise in the future. Above all there must be no stopping nor resting but there must be a pushing on to fresh victories in the name of the Master. Throughout the sermon thereâ€" was the. strong vote of appreciation of all that the congregation, under God, had ‘done. "Let us all, he said, "enter into the Spirit of thanksgiving, but let us not forget that the Spirit of Thanksgiving is,the Spirit of Service." The October. meeting of the Richâ€" view Women‘s Institute will be held at the home of Mrs. Oliver Dixon on Wednesday afternc}on, Oct. tsth . w good programme 4s being arranged, and a cordial invitation is extended to all the ladies of the community. As a result of hard, earnest and consecrated work by all, the receipt in full for the mortgage of the church was presented. Now the church is free of debt and there lies the greatest of opportunities in her path. One page of this issue,. is employed in making clear all details concerning the monster circulation campaign being inaugurated by The Charters Pubâ€" lishing Company, and including our five weekly publications: THE CONSERVATOR, BRAMPTON. THE TIMES & GUIDE, WESTON. THE EXPRESS, MOUNT DENNIS. THE NEWS, PORT CREDIT. THE ADVERTISER, MIMICO AND NEW TORONTO, 1 Upwards of Two Thousand Dollars is being offered in prizes, which inâ€" clude a Ford Touring Car, a Willis Piano, Four Grafonolas, a C,. C. M. Bicycle, and other valuable and useful articles, all of which are new. Every person in the four Counties of Peel, York, Halton and Dufferin is interested in this contest, Everyone is eligible to enter, free and unhampered in any way. The contest is worthy of the attention of the most active and most capable men and women in this district. It was a crowded church that gathâ€" | ered on Sunday evening in the Church / ofâ€"the ‘Good Shepherd. Every seat was | occupied and extra chairs lined the | aisles. The service, led by the Rector and choir, was most hearty and inâ€" spiring to the large congregation preâ€" sent. It was an occasion that called for the best side of man. He was able to see results of work accomplished and able to enter into the spirit of the ] service. Our Monster Circulation Campaign Gets Away to a Splendid Start The five weekly newspapers cover the fields in which they circulate. They pay particular and special attention to the local news of the various sections, deal editoqially with current topics, publish a weekly sermon, the Sunday School lesson, articles on Music, Farm and Home topics, Automobile Matters, and an interesting continued story. Nothing objectionable appears in the colâ€" umns of any of the publications, but much that is helpful, both from a moral and a material standpoint. The local paper occupies a position and performs a service that cannot, in the nature of things, be undertaken by the city dailies. Every home should receive the local paper and in this way keep in touch with the affairs of the community in which it is situated. Everyone entering this contest may take subscriptions for any or all of the papers. A subscription to one gives as many votes as to another. The lifeâ€"time of the contest is necessarily short, and will soon end. Let those who read this be reminded that none of the prizes are at present won. The campaign is just getting started. They may assure themselves, as they look over the prize list, that the opportunity for them to be winners in this great freeâ€"forâ€"all is as bright toâ€"day as it can be. The man or woman who walks up when the campaign is over and reâ€" ceives the order for a Ford car, a Willis piano, or ary of the other prizes, will unguestionably prove to be a person of imagination. ‘That fortunate person will be one who lined the next few weeks up, so to speak, looked at them and saw how very small they were, what an exceedingly short row they made. The prizes are the best ever offered in a weekly paper contst, so far as we know. Persons of imagination, having the power to visualize, do not need to be told what the winning of one of the big prizes will mean. At the end of that row of weeks this person, it will be revealed, was able to see how very big the prizes looked. ARE YOU TO BE THAT ONE?

WHO WILL â€"DIREGT NWY DF Weston Is Out to Assist in th€ Great Navy League Appeal â€"Do Your Best A committee meeting in the interâ€" ests of the Navy League Campaign for the Town of Weston was held in the Lecture Room of the Weston Public Library on the evening of September 30th,. 1920. In conclusion I would like to give this man a bit of advise: he is living in Canada and Canada has laws; if he wants to keep out of trouble please mind his own business. I was not personally acquainted with more than half of the young laâ€" dies who organized this party, but I would like through your paper to conâ€" gratulate them on their wellâ€"conductâ€" ed and pleasant party and torsay how sorry I am to think they should have been insulted as they were, also to ask them next time to come to good old Weston for a good time, where the whole town enjoys good clean sprt. The following members of the Comâ€" mittee were préesent: Messrs. J. W Gibson, Prof. R. W. Wade, N. J. Seal H. J. Alexander, J. M. Pearen, E. C Roy, L Nicholls, Rev. Forbesâ€"Robertâ€" son and N. J. McEwen. _ Will you allow me through your paper to make public the following experience I had on Tuesday, 21st, at Westmount. I, together with about 30 others, residents of Weston and Westmount, and a few outsiders, were invited to a corn roast held on what is known as the flats on 4th Avenue on the banks of the Humber, away from houses and a very pretty spot. I arrived at 8.30 and had only been there a few minutes when a burly felâ€" low paid us a visit demanding to know "who is running this show.‘"" Not receiving an answer to his impertinent question, he went on to accuse us of breaking a swing bridge, which probâ€" ably a dozen of our number had to cross over, also informed us we were on private property and he would have us watched. What an advertiseâ€" ment for Westmount when a man who owns his own little place gets a swellâ€" ed head and fancies he owns the whole community, including the Humber River. The meeting was called to order by N. J. McEwen, Convenor of the Comâ€" mittee, who explained the nature of the meeting and the business to be transacted therein and then called for nominations for the office of chairâ€" man. ie The Chairman of the Campaign, Mr. J. W. Gibson, is toâ€"act as Convenor of this Committee until a chairman is selected. _ _A motion to have the Appeal Comâ€" mittee meet in the Lecture Room of the Weston Public Library on Monday evening, October 4th, at 8 o‘clock, was carried. On motion of N. J. McEwen, secondâ€" ed by Prof. Wade, the Publicity Comâ€" mittee were instructed to arrange for a public meeting to be held in the town on Tuesday evening, October 19, and the details of the meeting were left entirely in the hands of the Pubâ€" licity Committee. ; To the Editor Times & Guide Dear Sir: «â€"â€"A lover of fair play IE It might be well to mention that the local junior team deserves the greatâ€" est of credit for the way they have conducted themselves on and off the field. They started the season with a_lot of untrained boys. . By coâ€"operaâ€" fion and hard practices, these boys rounded into condition and learnt t game. They played their first game agd showed splendid form. â€"As a reâ€" sult many followers were in behind them. Each game showed themâ€" a fine lot of sports. They tool the knock and still kept right on. After winning the district, the protest robbed them of their star, who Wwas a few months over the age limit. They still won the district and then met St. Kitt‘s. As you recall this is the first yearâ€"for these boys, they deserve support and congratulations GOUNGIL EONSIOERS WATERWORKS SYSTEHY Weston‘s Junior twel*re, our hopeful pride, travelled to St. Catharines on Saturday. It was the first game of the home and home O.A.L.A. Junior semiâ€" finals to see who would enter the finâ€" als. Before the game our boys were full of confidence. After play had started it soon became evident that St Kitt‘s were the better team and know the game. Their junior team is fast and they work the ball to ®the goals with une’rring aim. Their shooting was the very best. Our boys were outâ€" classed, but played the game.. They went down to defeat, but are ready to play a better game as a result of their experience. On account of the big score the locals decided that they would default the second game. The crowd that filled the St. Kitt‘s grounds showed that the old lacrosse game still has a real hold on the people. The regular meeting of the Etobiâ€" coke Township Council was held on Monday last in the Township Hall, Reeve Jackson in the chair.. Routine business was put through. A deputaâ€" tion from the Long Branch Ratepayâ€" ers‘ Association and the Cottagers‘ Asâ€" sociation were present and after hearâ€" ing gs report from E. Proctor, of E. A. J&mes Co., and finding out the deâ€" tails discovered that previous estiâ€" mates given on the Long Branch Wa‘t- er supply did not include a service charge which would be imposed and total up to a cost of $50.25 for each 50 foot lot. This was considered away too high. New Toronto prices for a supply would run $39.75 and this was also considered out of the reach of the average citizen. After discussing the question, a committee of seven was appointed, two from Long Branch Asâ€" sociation, two from the Cottagers‘ Asâ€" sociation and three members from the Council, consisting of the Reeve and two Deputies. This committee is to meet at Engineer‘s James‘ office and goginto the matter fully, devising a scheme â€".by which service will be seâ€" cured from New Toronto, then apâ€" proach the New Toronto Council as to the lowest possible terms water can be supplied. The engineer is also to preâ€" pare two schemes, then a ratepayers‘ meeting is to be called and the matter placed before the community, preparaâ€" tory to taking a plebiscite on Jan. 1st, 1921. A deputation from the Weston Country and Golf Club, Messrs. Gray and Church, asked permission to visit the proposed change and confer with the Club as to the advisability of acâ€" ceding to theirâ€"request. Messrs. Morâ€" gan and Bolton, of the Home Smith Co., also asked that improvements be made to the King‘s Way in the Townâ€" ship of Etobicoke. This matter was also referred to an investigation by the Council, both to take place this week, and report at the next meeting. Resolutions as follows were passed: That the Reeve and Deputyâ€"Reeve Gardhouse and Tier be a committee to wait on the Toronto Town Council to arrange with the said Council and get estimates to supply the Long Branch district with water. The Clerk was also instructed to notify the soliciâ€" tor to withdraw the application now before the Ontario Railway Board re the Long Branch water area. New York, Sept. 24.â€"(Special).)â€" Word that the Kellyâ€"Springfield Co. was preparing to issue a new block of common stock amounting to $2,000 shares caused a sharp break in the shares toâ€"day. They lost 6 3â€"8 points for the day. In view of the condition of the automobile industry, the rubâ€" ber shares are not being looked upon with as high favor as a short time ago. Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Fraser, of "Braemar,"‘ Weston, celebrated the 60th anniversary of their wedding on Saturday, October 2nd, with their family and friends.. Mr. Fraser is one of the veteran railway men of Canada, having been with the G.T.R. since the building of the road.
