WellRecommendéedTalking Picture At Westminster Sunday Evening We have heard a gout deal lately wbout the high taeuhln(.vnlue of visual education. There ‘are many who believe its values are as real in the field of religion as in others, and they have sponsored the preâ€" ation of such films with all the a::limicnl advances of this major industry. At Westminster Church it has long been the custom to have pictures on the third Sunday eveâ€" ning of the month, and this month it was decided to try the best that was offered in talking pictures as an experiment.. The film is the story of what happened to allied airmen shot down in the jungles of the South Pacific when they fell into the hands of the "Fuzzyâ€" Wuzzies." As we remember from the newspapers, there were some surprises. The Choir plans to invite everyâ€" one present to a Fireside Hour after the pictures, and is nrrnng'nfi a musical treat for all. This ‘n provide an opportunity for all who attend to become better acquainted. It looks like an outstanding eveâ€" ning, and comments will be invited. There are many who are not in the habit of attending Church Sunday evenings, and it is hoped that this eonstructive programme will apâ€" peal to them and give both enterâ€" tainment and something of endurâ€" ing value. Japanese Soldiers Bayonetted 20 Japanese Children Tokyo newspapegs carried a story that Japanese soldiers bayoâ€" netted 20 Japanese children to death in the Philippines because they impeded the retreat of Nipâ€" ponese troops, Mrs. Haru Tomohana, 29, who lost four children, recounted that on April 16, 1945, a captain Aaoki summoned civilian women â€" who were fleeing with soldiers into the mountains of Cebu and told them: Kyodo news agency said Aaoki is in a prisoner of war camp in the Philippines. _ _ _ _ _ "Then we mothers were all foreâ€" ed, out of the tent, at the point of bayonets," Mrs. Tomahana conâ€" tinued. "There were cries of ‘Maâ€" ma‘ mingled with horrible screams." Last Sunday‘s meeting of the Weston Bible Class had a very good number in attendance. Those resent were‘ amply rewarded by gir. Joblin‘s address on the Life of Paul which he has been doing for several weeks with increased inâ€" terest each week. This week was on Paul‘s travels through. Europe and the conditions under the first and second parts to the New Books of Thessalonians and Galatians were written. â€" _ "Children under 10 years <old shall be disposed of tonight." _ _ At midnight the sleeping youngâ€" sters were awakened by soldiers. _ Twelve children died that night, three of them Mrs. Tomahana‘s.

Should Be Worn By Men As Well As the Gentler Sex It is all very silly and unâ€"Canaâ€" dian, If we truly understand ourâ€" selves as‘a nation there would be no tax on fur coats, they would be Froduced in quantity, and we would all have them. But it is still the Canadian way to avoid facing the realities about our country, and to import our ideas from abroad.â€"Peterborough Examiner, Concentrated milk production in December, including whole milk products _ and milk byâ€"products, amounted to 11,800,000 pounds, 24 ;r;b:‘cem. less than in December, "We Also Receive", A Graphic Story Of Airmen Shot Down In The Pacificâ€" Fireside Hour To Follow Service THURSDAY, FEB, 14, 1946 1 LA WRENCE AVE. w.

To Investigate The Commercial Possibilities Of Great Slave Lake He spoke of his last trip out when on board with 20 other misâ€" sionaries, each going to a different country, ‘w]ding a service in Nagaâ€" saka, Japan, and each going iis way, never to see each others faces again. . o e Mr. Stanway then used the blackâ€" board to illustrate & lesson in Chinese characters and their meanings. _ _ Edna Jaques has expressed the loneliness of a refugee: Michael came in with the refugees, A little war guest from overseas, He wears a blazer and bare brown knees.
