Full Houses Heard and evening services in the Mm- ian_ chufcp beg-e last Sunday, the oc- casion being the anniversary services of this congregation At the evening service the church was scarcely large enough to accommodate the crowd, the largest in attendance at any .service since the opening of the new church' building a couple of years ago. Rev. Dr. Drummond of St. Paul’s! Presbyterian church, Hamilton, was the special speaker, and to say that be. delighted his congregations with his. eloquent sermons at both services is- but expressing it very mildly, indeed. At the morning service he took his text from the words. “Let this mind he in you. which was also in Christ Jesus.” For his evening text he chose that passage from the Gospel of St Mat- thew. “He saved others; himself he could not save.” Both discourses were well thought out sermons and were lis- tened to with much interest by his hearers. Special music by the choir under the’ leadership of Mrs. J. H. Harding en- hanced both services. the choir ac- quitting themselves most creditably. At the morning service the anthem, “Love Divine All Love Excelling”. was sung. the duet obligato being taken by Mrs. A. W. H. Lauder and Miss J. M. Weir. Lorenz’s “O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing” was given by a full choir. Mrs. T. M. McFadden sang in solo. “O Lord Correct Me”. “Hark. Hark My Soul” and “At Even When the Sun Was Set” were the choral oflerings at the evening ser- vice. the solo in the former being taken by Mrs. McFadden. The male quar- tette comprising Messrs. E. S. MacAr- thur. T. M. McFadden, J. H. Harding. and A. G. McComb rendered the selec- tion “Beautiful Land”. The church decorations for the oc-} casion were very beautiful, roses, snap-‘ dragons and lilies being well displayed. There was a large attendance from the sister congregations of the town and surrounding community and from some of the nearby towns and as a mark of respect the evening service in the Bap- tist church was withdrawn. Monday’s Programme On Monday evening a full course supper was served in the basement of the church from 6 to 8 o’clock and this. too. was well patronized. Tempting viands and attentive waitresses on former occasions assured a large crowd. and the supper this year if anything surpassed any of former occasions. Following the supper the crowd ad- journed to the church auditorius where a most excellent programme was given by the Paramount Quartette. assisted by Miss Vera Hudson, of Seaforth. The offerings were of the most versa- tile nature. and. one might say, ran from the sublime to the ridiculous. There was something for everybody . --V- v and while many humorous offerings were presented, these lighter numbers while furnishing much laughter. were entirely in keeping with a church pro- gramme. In their heavier numbers the quartette displayed a fine sense of in- terpretation. The quartette is composed of Messrs. James Stewart and John Beatti'e, “IALVU tenors. g.wfieWIâ€"1hie,vbaritone and D. L.

Possessing a pleasing personal- ity and good powers of interpretation, every number was well received and an encore demanded.

Speaker of Afternoon at ' District Women’s Institute Meeting Wednesday Atta- Over torty ladies of the Women’s Institute met at the home of Miss A. Weir on Wednesday afternoon. The new president, Miss Margaret Mch' was in the chair, and after the bus- iness was dealt with, called on the speaker, Mrs. M. E. Lowe, RN., of To- ronto to address the ladies. From her list of subjects she spoke on “Foods vs. Heal ” and “Agreeableness Is Life; Discouragement Is a Disease”. Mrs. Lowe eulogised the work of the Women’s Institute at home and abroad. This year in conjunction with other societies the Women’s Institute are en- deavoring to .do all that is possible for crippled children. She said not to think anything incurable till a capable surgeon was consulted. The Institute was helping finance such cases where funds were low. - In dealing with the effect food has ;on health, Mrs. Lowe intimated that I happiness is health and it was our duty to protect our own health and that of the community. Faith, hope and cour- . age assists the general nutrition of the body. Temper produces a poisonous toxin in the body which encourages dyspepsia. Do not carry the worries of the day to bed with you at night and review them there. Settle them before going to bed, forget them and go to ‘sleep. “God’s in His heaven, all’s ,right with the world.” the speaker aquoted. ' _ u , , £_A_‘L The need of oxygen and oxygen foods was dealt with, also the acid and alkaline foods. Among the alkaline foods which should form three-fourths of our diet were meat, fish, eggs, beans, peas, cereals, whole wheat bread, cream, butter, cheese, tomatoes, oranges, grapefruit. The iodine foods were found in egg yolk, green grapes, strawberries, baked potatoes, salmon, pineapple, pears, peas and apples. Iodine protects the brain and nerves and balance of weight. The unsweet- ened juice of a_ grapefruit was good to v“-.. ‘wâ€"-_ _, ake at bedtime to promote sleep. Learn to relax. Keep bright, always happy, never snappy, for agreeableness is life, discouragement is a disease. Mrs. Knechtel delighted the audience with a solo, “When the Robin Red- breast Sings His Home Sweet Home”. She was accompanied by Mrs. H. Kress.

Now it seems that George is sueing Cotton as owner of the car for damages to his car, while William is suing Cotton and Kreutzweiser for in- ‘juries.

Saugeen Presbyterian] Held Annual Session with many from the local organization marked the opening session of the m- teenth annual meeting of the Sangeen Presbyterial W. M. 8., held in Drayton on May 14. Two sessions were held at 10.30 am. and 1. 30 pm. Mrs. Leding- ham of Hérflston, as president of the Presbytery. occupied the chair. The morning session opened with devotions and prayer by Mrs. Dulmege of Palm- erston. In the absence of Mrs. Mc- Clanahan, president or the local so- ciety, Miss Belle Watson very ably gave the address of welcome, which was responded to by Mrs. J. C. Rich- ardson, of Palmerston. Reports were heard from all the Auxiliaries and were most encouraging. The roll call was answered by delegates from Arthur, Clifford, Conn, Drornore, Durham. Holstein, Harriston, Mount Forest, Fairbairn, Rocky Saugeen and Drayton. Interest in the various departments of the work was manifest and the session proved its value to delegates eager for assistance in order that they might 'better carry on the work of the society. The afternoon session opened at. 1 .30 The devotional part was taken by Mrs. Burgess and Mrs. B. D. Armstrong of Durham. Then followed the Presid- ent’ 5 address in which she briefly re- called the work of the Presbyterial since the amalgamation of 15 years ago and it was interesting to note the proâ€" gress made in that time. In part, Mrs. Ledingham said, “We have been blessed in the years that have goneâ€"may we in the years before us, spend more time in 'prayer. This is our first ob- jectâ€"uniting all the women in prayer. Let us in our work fail not in lifting up our eyes unto the hills from whence cometh our help.” Interesting reports were given by the Y.

The afternoon session was marked by having two outstanding speakers. Miss Lamont, one of the field secretar- ies, and Rev. G. M. Dunn, treasurer of the church. Miss Lamont was listened to with rapt attention. The speaker be- gan by saying “Our aim is in our motto, ‘The World for Christ’â€"to unite the women and children in prayer and service. Our aim is a spiritual one. The attendance of over 100 deleggqtes We as W. M. S. members have the whole church work at heart.” Miss Lamont gave glimpses of the work in Quebec with its encouragements and discouragements. She showed the value of the school home, also the work of the Deaconesses in helping in the outlying sections of our north country. Her resume of the work of the W. M.

A woman of out- standing character, a kind mother and neighbor, and a true friend, the death of this fine old resident is very much regretted. While her passing is de- plored by the community as a whole, it is in the family circle that the blow will fall the heaviest as she was a home woman “in the truest sense and the members of her family will miss her kindly ministrations and counsel. Her passing, however, was a happy re- lease from a bed of sufiering and this will to a large extent mitigate the sor- row felt in the loss of mother and ad- visor. Following her serious turn last December, members of the family laway from home had paid numerous visits to her sickbed and for a number of weeks this winter a daughter, Mrs. Robert Mitchell of Keewatin, visited her, returning to her home only a short time ago. In her long illness Mrs. Davidson was under the constant care of her daughter,. Miss Frances, who, with the members of the family left nothing undone that would in any way make for her comfort. The late Mrs. Davidson, whose maid- en name was Helen Beith, was born in Owen Sound in the late forties. Com- ing to young womanth she taught school for a time at what is still known as the Stone school at Owen ,Sound. She was a woman of more than the ordinary education, received her first-class teaching certificate, and â€"â€"vâ€" rose To the position of assistant prin- cipal of the school. Nearly fifty years ago she was mar- ried to the late Mr. Archibald David- son, the first white child born in Dur- ham, and has been a continuous res- ident of this town ever since. “"Ii‘ihe late Mrs. Davidson was a daughter A 9f the_ late Mr. and Mrs. James Beith, and a granddaughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Telfer, the former the founder of the present city of Owen Sound and the first Crown Lands Agent in this part of On- tario. Mr. Telfer had also consider- able to do with the founding of Gait and made several trips to Scotland. returning with settlers who took up their residence there. Mrs. Davidson had enjoyed good health up to nearly three years ago when she began to fail. Her condition was not considered serious until she was taken to her bed last December, subsequently sufiering a stroke a week ago from which she never recovered.
