H PAUL DOYON with. my“ninf-year-nld A' \l and Mrs. Jufin Lei“; Stinmething unique in the matter of church services in Durham took place at the Presbyterian service here last Sunday. when the Rev. William France, a blind preacher from Toronto, had charge of the services in Durham and at the Rocky Saugeen. Mr. France, who has been blind since three years of age, car-i .ries his own Bible, printed in the Braille system and readily reads the scriptures using instead of his eyes, the tips of his fingers with which he makes out the words. Mr. France is a forceful speaker, and his services here on Sunday were much enjoyed at all services. Next Sunday, the local ulpit will be occupied by the Rev. . D.

The only outside number on the program was a vocal duet by Mrs. Geddes and Miss Pat- terson, well given and highly en- joyed by the audience. he address of the evening was given by the Rev. L. E. W‘est, pas- y tor of the United church in the vil- lage, and for half an hour, he held the attention of the gathering with an excellent. humorous speech, ter- ' minated with an appeal to all to be ‘ loyal to their church. Mr. West gave the serious part of his address under three heads, Faith. Fellow- ' ship and Fraternity. One terse re- mark of the speaker may well be pondered. He cautioned his hear- ers against the all too common prac- tice of those members of the com- munity who stay outside the church 1 and criticize. His remedy would be to come inside and fraternize. His remarks were timely and to the point. and the address in its en- tirety was such as to hold the at- ( tention of his healrers to the end.

Evidently the reputation of Holstein ladies as culinary experts has been spread far and wide, for an overflow crowd was present at the supper and at the entertainment that, followed. And right here may, it be said that the ladies of the Hol- |stein congregation well sustained ;their good name in the fine supper served. Never, we believe, has such a spread been surpassed as was placed before the multitude that evening, and many were the favor- able comments heurd on every side in discussion of the superbly cooked and faultlessly served fowl, the sal- ads, the pies, the cakes, and the preponderance of home cooking and baking of all descriptions that seemed to have no end, made all wonder where it was all coming from.

Residents of this The new regulations include rural mail contractors who serve inter- mediate post offices en route, but rural mail contractors whose con- tracts include, in addition to rural delivery, the side services between post offices and railway stations, must provide for these services. It does not, however, apply to contract- ors fol- routes on which there is no rural delivery service, which are known as stage routes, nor does it provide for contractOrs between post offices and railway stations“ Such services must be performed as usual on the days mentioned. TL. -1.- According to instructions issued the first of this month by the Post- master General, rural mail couriers will in the future have the privil- ege of observing certain holidays ;throughout the year, the holidays specified being New Years’ Day, Good Friday, Victoria Day, Domin- ion Day, Labor Day and Thanksgiw ing Day. It will be noticed that Christmas Day is not included in the list, probably from the fact that the post offices throughout the country are swamped with mail on this date, and the granting of holi- days to couriers would work more of a hardship to the department than the benefits derived by the couriers themselves.
