Albert Moore Punched to a Large Audience at Both Services.â€" Excellent Concert Given by Perm Talent Monday Night. The anniversary services 01 the Queen Street United church have pas- sed f or another year. adding another milestone to the history of the congre- gation. And the congregation and of- ficials are to be congratulated on the success of the services. The Bell. T. Albert Moore. secretary of the General Council of the United church, was the special speaker for the occasion and preached to large congregations both morning and evening. In the evening the congregation of Knox United church withdrew their service in order to attend the anniversary and the church was filled to overflowing. Dr. Moore's evening discourse was taken from II Timothy 3: 5“For though they keep up a form of religion, they will have nothing to do with it as a force tMoflat). A great many peOple are quite ready to recognize religion as a form. and to take to themselves the benefits it brings. but religion as a force. able to change their lives, they will have nothing to do with. Illustrat- ing. Dr. Moore said everyone is willing to accept the Sabbath day as a day of rest from our week-day toil but num- bers will use it only as a day for plea- sure and not as a day for the worship of God as it was intended. Religion. as a force. as a living reality through- out their lives was what enabled our forefathers to become the foundation layers and builders of the great Domin- ion of today. Rev. W. H. Smith of Knox church assisted in the evening service and spe- cial music was rendered by the choir at both services. In the evening Mrs. W. G. Beatty and Mr. Austin Potter of Fergus assistedâ€"the choir rendering two numbers. In the morning Mr. Moore spoke in a reminiscent vein recalling the birth of the Durham church about seventy-five years ago. He spoke of attending wor- ship with the then Methodist congrega- tion before the present building was erected and enumerated several other occasions when he had been present in Durham. Looking back over the years he recalled our grandfathers and great-grandfathers, the people Who came into the Queen’s BuSh and by their efforts made it the wonderful country we live in today. He spoke of their vision of the great country that Canada was to become and of their living faith in God which enabled them to overcome the hardships and obstac- les of pioneer life. It is to them we owe the Christian church as we have it to- day. Dr. Moore went on to say that as sons and daughters of such people we should strive to be worthy, to retain that faith that was theirs, to be a force in the community in which we live. On Monday evening the anniversary concert sponsored by the Ladies’ Aid attracted a good crowd. The program was presented by Fergus talent, direct- ed by Mr. Smythe. organist and choir leader of St. Andrew’s church in that town. The numbers consisted of solos, duets. quartette and chorus numbers. interspersed with violin solos and read- ings. The program presented was or a very high order providing an evening of entertainment such as Durham music lovers seldom have an opportun-l ity of listening to. The high lights onl the program. if indeed any numberi could be said to stand out from the whole. were the ensemble singing of the choir. the violin solos by Mr. T. Muir Jr. and the tenor solos by Mr. Otto Lovell. The choir sang two numbers and an encore and their harmony and balance was excellent. Mr. Muir is a 'Iiollllht of no mean order and the audience would still have been far from: N‘iflelt‘d had he played twice as many as he did. His three numbers. the Intermezzo from Cavaliere de Rusti, cania. Beethoven's Minuet in G and Kr'uslcr's Souvenir were a treat to any music lover. Mr. Lovell. tenor soloist, gave a solo and encore that would stand up well on any program. The readings by Mrs. Mighton must also be mentioned. Her “Adventures in Ton- silectomy" and “Clothes for.Fat Wo- men" took the audience by storm and she responded with encores to both. All the other numbers on the program were of the same high order but it would be impossible to mention them all adequately. Sufficient to say that any time this company of artists wish to return here they will receive an en- thusiastic reception from Durham and- iences. v--' After the concert the Ladies’ Aid entertained those taking part with re- freshments in the basement of the church when a heary vote of thanks was tendered to the Fergus peOple for thefr assistance in making the anni- versary a success. At the close of the anniversary con- cert on Monday evening the choir of Queen Street United church presented PRESENTATION BY CHOIR Concert Monday Evening ; ii»; i tically completed so far, as this section of Ontario is concerned, and if the general reports are to be accepted, there was a very fine crop of wheat, hay and clovers. Taken as a whole, the farm- ers of this district have little to com- plain 0! when other sections of the country are considered. With the ex- ception of roots, which possibly did not come through the dry spell last summer as well as some other crops, there seems to have been at least an average yield of everything, including fruits. Farmers around Durham who have been got in touch with by the Chronicle report crops as good, the early sown ones especially. These were all that could be desired, we learn, although the later sown crops did not do so well. In the West, some parts of Eastern Canada, and throughout sections of the United States, the dry spell caused serious crop shortage, while in North- ern Ontario the continued wet weather caused nearly as much damage. Dry Weather Apparently Did Little Damage to Gnlns of Dish-let, Which Are Reported Fully Up to the Aver- ageâ€"A399“ _Poa;olbly Not up to the FARMERS HAD 6000’ CROPS IN THIS SECTION Those who favored and worked for the building of the addition to Dur- ham High school a few years ago were fully justified for their optimism on each annual occasion since, both in the grants from the Provincial Department of Education and the annual County grants. This year the grant from the province is the largest in the history of the school and is based wholly on the report of the High school inspector as to equipment and general efficiency. When the bylaw was before the people there were many who feared the new addition would prove a white elephant and that we could not afford it, but subsequent developments have shown the wisdom of the move to Recap Dur- ham in the forefront as an educational centre.

Page Roy Sparllng A farmer handed a rather fragile looking box to a porter at a small rail- way station. “Do you think this is strong enough to trust to the freight?” he asked. He lifted the box high in the air and let it fall with a crash. “It’ll get that here.” he said, “and it’ll get that” giv- ing it another bang, “at the Junction. At Springfield, it’ll get that,” lifting it a bit higher as he spoke. BIGGEST CHEOUE IN HISTORY OF SCHOOL "I doubt it," said the porter, “but we’ll see."

We have noted the moving or the Canadian Bank of Commerce to its new building, and also the fact that J. H. Harding has moved to his new stand next door. The vacation of the Ma- sonic building by Mr. Harding gave the R. Burnett store the opportunity of moving into this stand and as a result he has taken a lease on the premises. Further down the street the Hender- son bakery property has been unproved by being brick veneered and this week F. W. Moon is placing a concrete foun- dation under his machine shop and re- sidence.

Padfleld is no stranger to Durham shoppers, however. having been a resid- ent of the town for the past seven years. Another change that will be made next Spring is the transferring of the Royal Bank business from its present location to the J. J. Hunter building. The Messrs. Hunter are disposing of their stock by a series of sales this fall and winter and will give up business here after 50 years’ service. Night Prowlers Forced the Door of Front Street Business Changes Local Garage Was Entered Last Week During the past summer there has been a series of burglaries committed throughout Ontario and Durham and vicinity has not been overlooked. On Wednesday night of last week some of these gentry entered the George Mc- Laughlin garage and lifted in the neighbodhood of $500 worth of automo- bile accessories and repairs, as well as a cabinet radio machine of the battery The theft of other stuff in the build- ing was also rather peculiar.

This latter theft would lead one to believe the job was either done by some one in the rural section or the thief had some place to dispose of the machine. Sitting alongside the battery machine was an electric but this was not taken.

The young lad was visiting his uncle, Mr. Kenneth Vaughan at Arthur, and was helping change the canvass on the binder. A clap of thunder startled the horses, causing them to jump for- ward, and though they moved only about two feet it was far enough to catch the lad and lacerate his leg. In the accident the knives cut through one of the large bones and he was in a rather serious condition on arrival.

Communty singing was then enjoy- ed by all, after which Mrs. William Erwin gave a helpful reading entitled, “Turn about is fair play". The re- port of the 24th annual convention of the Grey County Women’s Institute which was held at Elmwood. was given by Mrs. McIlraith. There were in attendance, delegates from 57 branches of the County. One important resolu- tion passed at this convention put Grey County on record as in favor of teach- ing temperance education and making such influence as far as possible. A flower contest was put on which con- sisted of showing of three difierent kinds of bouquets, namely, a large, a table and a hand bouquet. . First prizes were awarded in each case as follows Mrs. John McGirr, Mrs. Thos. Brown and Miss L. McComb and‘ a special prize to Mrs. Glass for a large basket of flowers. A lovely display of flowers were shown which was ,a pleas- ing feature of the afternoon. Mrs. 8. Patterson and Mrs. Mcnraith were the judges.

Mayor Hunter said he did not even know their meeting night, but would find out and bring the mat- ter up at the next meeting of the board. Mayor Hunter brought the attention of the council to the condition of the Library building. The site needs drain- ing, as the water is soaking through the walls and lying in the basement. Did the council have anything to do with this? Reeve Bell said not, the control of the Library being entirely under the control of the board appointed. It was stated the Library had not suflicient funds to go ahead with the work. but even this was not regarded by the coun- cil, which said the town paid an annual grant of $800. which was supposed to look after these things. The council thought the matter was a delicate one. They had no desire to interfere with any religious services. but were unanimous in the opinion that the main corner was no place for such gatherings. on Saturday or Wednesday nights. The constable was ordered to deal with the matter. peaceably if pos- sible. There would be no objection to holding these open air meetings on some less frequented street. Several other matters of minor im- portance were brought up. such as the passing of the finance committee’s re- port of $1,084.44, over $600 of which was for repairs to the Lambton street bridge, just completed. Other matters were the appointing of the mayor, the treasurer, and the chairman of the finance committee as a committee to invest the funds of the town. a request that the hydro commission would hurry along the placing of the globes on the street lights, and the regulation of traffic. The resignation of Dr. A. M. Bell as medical officer of health was also received. but nothing was done to- wards appointing his successor. Brick and Stucco Decided For Hall A bylaw amending a former bylaw regarding the deposing of refuse on any1 of the public grounds or streets in the. municipality was passed and now it is’ up to the constable to enforce it. It will be illegal to dump any refuse on any public grounds in the corporation other than those set apart for the purpose. The fine in the bylaw as first submit- ted called for from $10 to $50. but the bylaw cut this in two, the minimum be- ing $5 and the maximum 325. ConstabletoControlCrowds During the past two or three weeks there have been several complaints of crowds congregating on the main com- er where religious services were being held. It was brought to the attention of the council that it was positively dangerous to allow it. one complainant stating that a member of his family had been nearly run donn by a car when crossing the street, owing to the view of the motorist being obstructed.
