Rev. Jesse Gib- son, Secretary of the Upper Canada Bible Society, will give an address, illustrated with lantern slides, on Korea. As the subject is very inter- esting, it is expected that there will be a large attendance on the occasion. The ministers of the churches in Wes- ton are requested to give an address relating to the Bible or the work of the Bible Society on the previous Sunday, October 29th, if convenient, or as near that date as possible. tbn Methodist Choi}. On Thursday last the Weston Methodist Church was filled to capa- city on the occasion of the annual Choir Concert. Following the singing of the Doxology and prayer by Rev. Mr. Rodwell, the programme was car- ried out as per programme by the, different artists. Miss" Kathleen Gor- rie, well-known ttra Weston audience, as ushal carried the hearts of the peo- ple with her as she appeared in her many numbers, some gay, some sad, but always; taken with the clearest of note and tone. Mrs. George Scott, also a favorite of every Westonfte, sang with her usual sweetness of tone and expression, giving as an encore a Scotch Ballad in sueh'a tender Voice as possible only she of Scotish an- ‘cestory can give. The other two 'artists, Miss Irving, of Hamilton, as elocutionist, and Mr, Plumstead, of Toroto, were not so Well known as they made their first appearance, but both captivated their audience and gained a host of admirers before the close of the lengthy programme. Mr. Plumstead, as soloist, touched the hearts with his choice range of selec- tions, while Miss Irving, as a reader, demonstrated her power of holding " audience by the very fact that her last number was as warmly applauded as the first. Although a request was made at the start for no more than one gencore, this was forgotten Te- peatedly, and the performers are to be congratulated on their willingness to give good measure, well pressed down and overflowing. Too much praise cannot be accorded Mrs. De- morest for the part she played in the success of the evening. Acting as accompanist for the three soloists, the task was indeed a heavy one, and her sympathetic following of the various numbers placed before her was one to tax the mind and fingers of any mu- sician. The singing of the National Anthem closed the programme of one of the most enjoyable of the many e,xcellent concerts put on by the Wes- With the fall trade at our doors and the Christmas season in the dis- tance, 'there comes a call to all busi- ness men to become very active. The past season in this section has given us many lessons. Some of these les- sons have been very hard to master, still they have been mastered by some of our merchants. To-day there are thousands of dollars on the various shelves that require turning over. People are not buying as they did and are keenly looking after the cents. This means a new purchaser in the field who will not take just what you show him. He wants the very best value for the dollar. It therefore behooves the merchant to sit back for a few hours and see just what his outlook is. Find out just where you stand and adopt a policy that will bring the people to your store and unload your shelves. The next three months are the big three months. During this period special effort should be made to secure. new trade and hold the trade that we now have. _ Concentrated Effort 1 One mad alone ean't create a buy- ing centre. There must be an incent- ive created that will bring the people to the district. There must be a con- centrated effort on the part of the merchants that will place before the people their various wares and reach them with a direct appeal for their special wares. There must be real value given and the quality must not be misrepresented, as the business is not for the one day only but' for the whole of the business career. If all our merchants would unite with a solid front and concentrate upon a plan that will make this a buying centre, then there will be greater pros- perity in our centre. Can't you see what it means? Put on several stunts in this section and bring the people here. If they see the goods they'll buy. You have everything to gain and little to loose., The united effort will mark! the cost of the cam- paign easy. We want more business is the dry. Then go out after it is the great remedy. Place your goods before the people if you want to sell. Excellent Program by Toronto and Hamilton Artists Much Appreciated by Audience (llllllil EUNEEHT r DRAWS HEM, HIESE Mr. J.

Mr. and Mrs. J. Bell, who will be in charge, moved in this week, also some of the tenants. This building is most modern in every way, being equipped with water, light and all conveniences. It is also an added improvement to the residential section of the town, replacing, as it did, a building that was rapidly sinking into decay and unfit for human habitation. In order to take care of the increase. ed business and give service to their many customers, Moffat Stove J3o., Ltd., are building a large addition to their factory, and equipping it with the most modern machinery available. When completed this will mean that Weston has one of the finest and most up-to-date stove factories in the prov- Ince. A unique stunt was pulled off on Saturday afternoon by one of our lo- cal citizens, Mr. Harvey Seythes. Up- on the opening of his shoe store on St. Clair Ave., after remodelling and en- largement of premises, he served af- ternoon tea to some three hundred per- sons, also five gallons of ice cream to the children of the community. The results fully justified the experiment, that a. progressive policy brings re- sults. Harvest Thanksgiving services will he held in Queen St. Memorial Hall on October 29th. We hope Mr. E. H. Budge, who is in charge of mission, will be with us again on October 22. Mr. Budge has been taking duty for the last three months for a clergy- man in Algoma diocese during his ab- sence in England. Mission service and Sunday school in the hall have been taken by Rev. Bumstead, of Lake- view Mission. Our Sunday school is The Rev. E. G. Hutson is a gradu- ate of Trinity College. He spent four years in Ottawa. For the past four years he has been assistant at Holy Trinity Church, Toronto. His work here and association with the rector of Holy Trinity, L. R. Sherman, has qual- ified him for the present charge. He comes into this parish on the first day of November with a record and knowl- edge that will enable him to undertake the work. In the meantime efforts are being put forth to place the church in the very best condition,possible. This will give the new vicar a real start. l C l Under good Cyradership-tesir-paris,h, will become a live, active centfe, full of life.

All will remember the splendid re- cord that the local branch of the Canadian Red Cross made in Weston. This great organization certainly made a name for itself in the town. When the recent call from the disas- terous fire came, our society was ready to help in the great cause. Calls were sent out by the various Chanels and appeals made for workers., There is no doubt but that this appeal will be met with by the people of 'Weston and members of the society as the other appeals have been. The present appeal is not for money, but rather for workers. Material is on hand at the home of'Mrs. Coon or Mrs. Ken- nedy Gray and all applications for work should be made to these two. Material with all instructions will be supplied. There is no need for any further words. Weston has always answered her call and will not fail in this instant.

The object is a most worthy one and your hearty co-operation is needed in caring for this _ Canadian citizen of the future. Note the date, October" 19th. Weston branch of the Labrador Mission are opening up for another season with an excellent address and musical programme. They have se- cured the services of Mrs. Emeline Pankhurst, who will speak on the sub- ject of "Child Welfare." Mrs. Pank- hurst's personality is world wide and the fact of her approaching visit has only to be announceed to ensure her as long as the world stood, for the Christian of to-day was just fulfilling the command, "Go ye out and preach -earry the Word to all nations." As time woud not permit a review of the whole field, he confined his remarks to China, the land of promise, point- ing out the wonderful achievements that had been accomplished. Things that a few years ago Yad been thought impossible were now an established fact. Missions, he said, was only co- operation between God and man, and he trusted if the call came to any of the young people present, he trusted they wbuld respond. Following this talk Mr. Shortt, of the Epworth execu- tive Tlymittet, spoke a few words. In this he too spoke of the great mis- sionary future, stating that at a fare- well given to Mr. Beaton a few days ago, a remark made by him had im- pressed him very much. The work was so great that it seems almost hope- less, and the call so strong that he had to answer. An excellent musi- cal program was given by Misses Alma Chapman and Mabel Baldock, and Mr. Elmer Mercer and Mr. Cross. Next Monday night the meeting will be held under the direction of the lit- erary and social department. Miss McCourt will give an address on Prof. Drummond. Everybody welcome. th. Monday evening one of the most inspiring, enthusiastic and well at- tended meetings of the Methodist Church Young Peopie's'society was 'tttid-under the. direction of the mis"- sionary department. Miss Hart, mis- sionary vice-president was in the chair and conducted the routine business, al- so introduced the speaker, Mr. Tressi- der. A man with a strong personality, a keen sense of humor and a practical knowledge of the needs of the mission field, he presented in a few forceful words the wholeiituation, using as the basis of his remarks the" Acts' of: the Apostles.

For years the east have had the premier bicycle event run off in their district, Good roads and an ideal track with a natur- al grand stand has drawn this great event to our west end. If it is to be run off here another year, depends entirely upon the support that is given by the citizens. There should be no effort spared to co-operate with the management and carry on. The need of a good track in the west end of the city has been felt. Weston track on account of its distance and car service was not always acceptable. With the transportation facilities much improved and the grounds fixed up the place presents itself as an ideal location for athletic contests and race meets. The fact that the great Dun- lop trophy race will be held here this year should be the starting of a new scheme to attract other big events. The grounds are available and could be utilized to advantage by securing these big attractions here. Weston Fair Grounds Should be the Centre for Largest Crowd DREW?
