The theme in the morning was en- titled “Rllowshlp with God” taken from the text “But thou when thou prayest enter into thy secret place and when thou hast shut thy door pray to thy Father which is in secret and thy Father which seeth in secret shall re- ward thee openly” Matthew 6: 6. Imby Churches Held Christ reveals in the words of thel text the secret of life’s happiness. The| person who has learned to have fel-l lowship with God has learned a most‘ important lesson of life. The great ideal of Christian manhood is Christ. We wonder how He faced the world of sinning and suffering humanity with such fortitude and optimism but the secret of it was his fellowship with the Father. Fellowship with God will re- veal to us our true character giving us an accurate estlrnate of ourselves and thereby showing the need of character building. The servant of God will find that the source of courage, strength and faith is fellowship with God. “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength”. In the evening Mr. Elder made a special appeal to the youth of the con- gegation challenging them to dedicate their lives to God, taking for his sub- ject “Go through, go through the Gates" his text being Isaiah 62: 10. The speaker at some length depicted Baby- lon as the metropolis of the ancient world and Jerusalem as the golden city of God. the former representing the world. and the latter representing the Kingdom of God. God calls us to leave the world and enter through the beau- tiful gates of faith, surrender and service into the kingdom of his dear v--v On Tuesday evening the annual‘ fowl supper was served in the church, basement. when the ladies of the con-‘ gregation put up one of the best meals in their career. Roast fowl with dres- sing, an apparently undiminishing sup- ply oi cakes, pies. and other delectables, and a big crowd assured the success of this annual event. Even threatening weather late in the afternoon and a downpour of rain about 7 o’clock didn’t stop the crowd, and it was 8.30 before the last table was served. Following the supper the company adjourned to the church auditorium where the annual entertainment was held. the major portion being put_ on by Ralph Gordon of Toronto, carica-l turist. impersonator, reader and enter- tamer de luxe. Mr. Gordon delighted his audience with a wonderful variety of offerings and had something for the younger as well as the older mem- bers of the audience. Assisting on the programme were Mr. and Mrs. R. Ramage and Miss Alice Leiinox in several vocal trios. with an address by Rev. Mr. Mercer of the H01- stein United church.

The choir sang a spirited anthem entitled “All hail to Thee, Immanuel.” There were solos by Miss Priest “You”, and “Homing” and Miss Eva Rediord sang “Sweet Peace”. Mrs. and Miss Priest favored with a duett, “Down the Vale”. There were readings by Miss Winnie Binnie, who gave Paul- ine Johnston’s “Beyond the Blue”. and two elocutionary numbers by Mr. Archie McLean of Mulock “The.

ATTENDED ONTARIO AND QUEBEC CONVENTION Rev. and Mrs. J. T. and Miss Thelmal Priest motored last week to the Bap- tist convention of Ontario and Quebec, meeting at Hamilton. There were over 500 delegates and they were welcomed by the mayor, Mr. John Peebles, who is himself an active Baptist. A unique feature of the meetings was the holding of the education session at the new Mc- Master University on the outskirts of Hamilton. About seven hundred Bap- tlsts inspected the spacious grounds with their sunken garden, drives and shrubbery comprising 75 acres in all. The buildings follow the old scholastic traditions which have been adjusted to M. A. H.

Hunter and Mr. Harvey W. Wil- son “went to Toronto yesterday morning in an endeavor to secure a share of the grant from the Unemployment Fund with which to commence public work in town to relieve the unemploy- ment situation. At time of writing the delegation had not returned to town and we have no particulars as to what was accomplished, although it is not likely the matter would be definitely settled in any event. The matter of securing work this winter for the unemployed in the town has been engaging the attention of the members of the council for some time, and at a special meeting Monday night it was decided to send a. delegation to Toronto. One ’work that could be gone ahead with this winter would be an ex- tension to the present waterworks sys- tem. This. it is estimated, would cost in the neighborhood of $00,000, perhaps more, and with a fifty per cent. govern- ment grant the council thought they could undertake the 'work. There has been some dissatisfaction expressed at the council board because the matter could not be voted on by the people, but as the need is urgent and all monies from this fund must be spent in labor before the first of March, there is no time for preparing a bylaw and taking the vote. As a result of the discussions it was decided that if the government would give the town a fifty per cent grant the work would be undertaken this winter and some much needed employment furnished local laborers. _ The work calls for the erection of a‘ new standpipe in Upper Town. with an adequate pumping system at the Sand and Gravel plant, and the furnishing of fire protection and domestic water over that part of the town not now coV- ered, or the building of the extension in such a manner that it could be added to from‘time to time the same as the hydro system was installed and by this ’method in a few years serving every residential district within the boun- l daries of the corporation.

Dickieson of Rockwood was the judge of the events and complimented the participants on their excellent work. He noted the entries were not so numerous as when he had judged this same event seven years ago but attrib- uted this to the damp and unpleasant morning. Devotion and courage are insepar- ably associated with the saving of life at sea, and even though the oar-pro- pelled boat has largely given place to the motor-lifeboat, the thrill of the launch and the excitement of the dash to the wreck still remain. The earliest lifeboat was designed by a Frenchman in 1765, but there is no record that it was ever put into service. The credit of having built the first practical lifeboat , in 1789, belongs to Henry Breathead. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution, which provides British coastal towns with lifeboats and life-saving apparatus, was founded in 1824. There are 1,506 museums in Germany, of which 45 per cent are ethnographlcal in character, 25.9 per cent are for an- tiquities, 14.9 are natural history mus- eums, and 9.6 per cent In museums hr art and applied art.
