CONCERT WAS HELD FRIDAY NIGHT Signed on behalf of neighbors and friends.: Good Program PutOn By School At Their Annual Entertainment. Trinity church Sunday school conâ€" (mi last Friday night had, despite tho stmmw 111;, hi. 3 111i1mly good audi- ence to listen in the annual program put on by the school. The opening number was a chorus 2)} four girls and four boys, entitled “Jesus Bids Us Shine," and was folâ€" .mx'ml by :Lmoi.ion song, “Old King: Cole." by lia'teen boys that took well with the. audience. A duet, “I Don’t Want. to Play In Your Yard,” by Alma Kress and Dorothy Douglas was gom. A diaIOgue, “The Train To Mm'row.“ by Miss Rita Lawrence, Alex. Graham and Erben Schutz was a rather mixed-up affair in which both the travellers and the station agent had misunderstandings and provided a lot of amusement for the audience. Songs by Aleda Hahn, Ned Burnett, and others. were well given and met with nnanimous approval. “The Story Hour." in which Miss Florence Kress told James Whitcomb Riley’s story. “The Goblin-s’ll Git You If You Don‘t Watch Out,” to a company of young listeners, was a pleasing num- ber, while a motion song by six girls, “Hush, Here Comes the Dream Man!” was one of the best on the program. “Indian Hunters,” a drill, a panto- mime, “Wanted: A Husband,” a Chinese song by six boys, and a motion song, “Auld Lang Syne,” the latter by Miss Dorothy McFarlane and Master Donald Knight, were also very deserving numbers. The closing number was a sketch, “Not On the Program,” and was a goO‘d one. It was full of innOCent nonsense and kept. the audience in a happy mood from first to last. Chronicle Advertising Pays. W sxmn 0N5 . HAVE BEEN mm T0 New Exemption Is Considered of Great Importance to Choose, But- ter and Fishing Industries. " Important additions to the list- of goods exempt under the sales tax were announced by the Ottawa Govâ€" ernment last Thursday night. Included in the list are usual cov-a.‘ erings for tax exempt products. This will benefit the fishing industry of the country. Had the regulations gone into effect ' in their original form the shippers of fish would have been compelled to pay an im- post on the wooden containers in which their product was packed for export. This exemption is also con- sidered of great importance to the cheese and butter industry. A 50 per cent. reduction of the tax applies to newsprint paper. under certain conditions. the effect of which is to leave that industry practically as it was under the old act. Collections of old coins, stamps, medals and trOpliies are added to the exempted list. This step, it was explained, was taken because the 0p- eration of the tax would not have produced sufficient revenue to jus- tify the nuisance it would have caused collectors. Other articles mentioned include certain syrups, confectionery and woollen rolls. The order-in-council providing for the changes became effective upon the same day as the new tax act. January 1. The text of the statement issued by the Government follows : l. Usual coverings for goods not subject to the consumption or sales tax.» The principal goods covered by this item would be coverings for flour, sugar, cheese, butter, lard, oatmeal, cornmeal, fruit, fish and condensed milk. :2. The materials for the manuiac- ture of usual coverings. This would also apply to the same products as the usual coverings referred to in clause i. 3. Woollen rolls or wool yarn milled by a producer of wool from such wool supplied by'him for his own use. 4. Artie-Ins enumerated in customs tarifl‘ item 692, namely, coins, cabin- ets of; collections or medals and col- lections of postage stamps; trOphies and prizes received and accepted as honorary distinction or won in bona fide competition. 5. Goods enumerated in customs tarifl‘ item 139, namely: Glucose or grape sugar, glucose syrup and corn syrup or any syrups containing an admixture thereof; corn syrups and other syrups resembling syrups and molasses now exempt from the sales tax puts the producers of syrup at a serious disadvantage with the pro- ducer or importer of other syrups and molasses. The rate of the consumption or sales tax on printing paper for use exclusively in producing newspapers, quarterly, monthly and semi-monthâ€" ly magazines; weekly literary pa- pers. unbound; hymn books; reliâ€" gious tracts as Sunday school lesson pictures, is to be reduced by 50 per cent. on the amount of said conâ€" sumption or sales tax. 6.

What is the difference? Where shall we find Him and how. 9 What is He like? These questions Concerning God are fundamental and every man has faced them. Perhaps the answer we found was not altogether satisfying. A wrong thought of God always lies behind a, wrong life and there is no possible chance of our lives ever be- ing right until we think rightly about God. Be sure to come,“ and bring some one with you.
