CONCn'I'S THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Wanna the Garden Party Was Spoiled by Rain Presbyterians Ran Into Bad Weather Last Thursday Evening and find to Transfer Programme to Rink at Last Minuteâ€"Good Crowd in Attendance. Old Man Jinx and Jupiter Pluvius combined last Thursday afternoon and evening in an attempt to wreck the Presbyterian church annual garden party here. and while to a certain ex- tent they were successiul, the affair. as advertised, was held “rain or shine”. It was originally planned to have the evening’s outing at the agricultural grounds and during the morning and early afternoon everything looked most propitious and a big crowd was looked forward to. Later, however, a storm rolled up out of the west and about 5 o’clock it was decided to hold the pro- gramme in the rink. This change in plans naturally caused a lot of extra work and when the time arrived for the programme to begin there was still considerable _to be done. The hastily erected booths and platform and the jumble caused by everything was notas ship-shape as originally planned. it was as good as ”I!“ Ill: "0 UV. v commenced to assemhle; and while it was not thirty per cent of what would have attended under more favorable conditions, the mangement after con- sidering the weather were delighted with the results, and will make a little money.

E E 5 as they had years ago. yet the Protest- ant belie! has certain truths which- has proved and holds last to. One the salvation by faith in Jesus Christ. This was a corner stone of ther teaching. One danger that t- 1 ism faces today is the repudiation of The present day attitude is to minim- ize sin. It is no longer “Where every prospect pleases and only man is vile.” .But the fact remains. Our fathers’ doctrine of human depravity was badly expressed perhaps, but the truth [nevertheless Man today is helpless in this modern life. He must rely on God to help him. A second truth is the Priesthood of every believer. The Pro- testant faith teaches that through sal- vation in Jesus Christ every believer is of the priesthood. It is personal. Every man can himself approach God through Jesus Christ. No other man. be he priest or layman, can open or close heaven to him. Also every man must make his own decision as to his personal salvation. No one else can do it for him. AV. nun--- The importance of right living is another important truth. Faith in Christ alone is not enough, it must be interpreted in daily life. The final test of any religion is can our beliefs be lived in every day life? In closing Mr. Fiddes again stressed these points, saying that for modern Protestantism the great need is to rely on Jesus Christ alone as the only Saviour, to recognize the personal responsibility of each. and to hold fast the truth and translate it in daily life. A large congregation completely filled the church and listened to Mr. Fiddes very attentively.

How many in Toronto? The department of highways does not know, neither does the Ontario Motor league, nor the Ontario Safety league. Statistics are not compiled separately for the sexes. “Women drivers do not figure in ac- ‘ cidents to the extent of men. They are equally good drivers.” W. D. Rob- ertson, secretary of the Ontario Motor League, told a feminine envoy of The Mail and Empire. Then rather hesi- tantly he added, “in fact, our consen- sus of opinion is that they are super- :ior to men in that respect.” A similar feeling was expressed by J. H. Wyse, manager of the Ontario Safety league. opinion.
