Paul tried to forget his sin. of persecution, of jealousy, sorrow and trial, and looked forward to fellowship with God and the home which is eter- nal. 5lbut what were they compared with the blessings? The speaker recalled the ,stories of the early pioneers who left ' Scotland for the new land; how on the I Lord’s day the minister would an- ’ nounce at the service that so many families were leaving the next week for Canada. After the well-wishes the de- parting ones would go around to the little cemetery to have a last look at the resting place of loved ones. They y‘ left good homes, good roads, and friends to come to a wilderness. It took cour- age t face such a task, but they did. As they built homes. schools, churches, they realized God had been good to them and “their cup was running over” with God’s love. Take your cup to the fountain of God's love and let it run over. Give to your home. your church, your community,a touch of sympathy, encouraegment and t1ue devotion from the‘ cup." In the afternoon the church was fill- ed to capacity for the Gaelic service. Highlanders of all denominations and many districts were gathered to wor- ship God in their Mother tongue. Mr. . Galbraith took his discourse from Luke ‘ viii:43-48, the story of the woman wha touched the border of his garment.

Latona Church Held Anniversary If inquiry is found necessary the new machinery provided in the tariff board will probably supplant that of the Combines Investigations Act. Mr. Meighen said the subject of an increase in coal prices, or the allegat- ion that one has been brought about in violation of the law had not pre- viously been drawn to his attention He undertook to place the representat- ions before the Minister of Labor. “Many people would be grateful to the Government if the situation were investigated by the Minister of Labor, and I would ask the Rt. Hon. Gentle- man (Mr. Meighen) to kindly refer the matter to the Minister and to stress the urgent neocessity of reliev-‘ ing the public mind of the impression under which it is presently laboring.” “On the eve of a winter that will possibly be severe." he said, “more severe especially for the poor people â€"-and I think that a majority of the . peOple are poorâ€"I am informed that there is a combine of coal merchants. The price of coal some years ago was about half of what it is today. It is surprising that a product that cost, say only $8 per ton a few years ago is now selling for $14, $15 and even $16 per ton. Senator Rodolphe Lemieux, former Speaker of the House of Commons, has asked the Government to take cognizance of the situation. The spread alleged to exist between f.o.b. Montreal cost and retail prices is the basis of the reference, state- ments having been presented that coal which cost $6 per ton laid down at Montreal retails at $15 per ton in that city. The Government throught the De- partment of Labor will enquire into the question of Eastern Canadian coal prices and if circumstances warrant a full dress probe under the aegis of the new tariff board is indicated. 220 yd. dashâ€"Lia.
