JIMUNITY PARTY HELD THURSDAY md the event service by Rev. W. A. Henderson. rec r of St. Mark’s church. VOL. Eliâ€"NO. 3409 Bamflton. Rev. Mr. 8111111831935 for Mr. Henderson. in a letter to the Christians at, Ephesus: “.Now therefore, ye are no more stran- gers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints 'and of the household of God. and are built upon the foun- dation of the apostles and prOphets. Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone." At the evening service Mr. Henderson preached from the sub- ject, Life’s Decisions. “For to be car- My minded is death. but to be spirit- ually minded is peace." The church was suitably decorated for the anniversay service, and there was special music by the choir. A reat- me of the evening service was a solo by Mrs. Elvidge of Hanoevr. m Cronyn Centenary The week of November 13th to the nth is to be celebrated by the Church of England as the hundredth anniver- sary at the arrival of the Rev. Ben- jamin Cronyn in London. and the 75th anniversary or his consecration as Bish- op of Huron. The celebration is of more than local interest. The coming of Bish- op Cronyn had results which no one at the time could possibly have (mu-en, and which even now are hard to esti- mate in their true prOpm'tion. Worn out with the fatigues of the overland journey by wagon from Queol bee. where the party had landed, the travellers at length arrived near Lon- don, met a man who directed' them to “The Ports" where they found rest. for the week-end, at the Mansion House Mr. Cronyn conducted a service in the schoolhouse next day, Sunchy, Novem- ber 18, 1832. which led to an invitato ion to remain permanently as the clergy man of the district, instead of going on to Adelaide. which had been his or- iginal objective. Some two years later, September 14. 1834, St. Paul's Church, London, was first used. This first Anglican church in London. Ontario, was a wooden build ing with a square tower at the south end, the building being set north and south and as located somewhere near the present Cathedral, and at the tune was one of the most conspicu- ous buildings in the growing community €Continued on page (M Mdmmâ€"W Wag-cat “00m Wmmncmytobo 1.0.0.}; Semi; new Succesful nudge their annual community party Thurs- day night. when eight of the members save their homes I or bridge or euchre or both, the crowd attemards assemb- nm in the town hall. where lunch Burnett. mm M.

The answer was ,a quick “yes” as we felt it anyone wished to improve our front street, we would not be the one to stand in the way. It is now up to Mr. McLellan. If he builds next ‘um- mer. the building, erected by the late Roderick McKenzie, comes down. We believe it one of the town’s oldest buildings. but like all things, has to make way for more modern things, and, with age, deteriorates. . Car Driver Fatally Hurtâ€"C.N.R. man Dies of Injuries. ' TWO FATALITIES Veterans To Have ' Hot Fowl Supper Two men died at Palmerston, Mon- day night from injuries suffered in accidents. William Ranton was fatally injured when his automobile collided with a freight train at a level cross- ing and Patrick Brown, a Canadian Railways brakeman died under a flat car from which he was thought to have fallen. Ranton was driving with two com- panions, Russell Deman. and Jack Porter. when his car collided with the train. He was hurled out onto the right of way and died immediately after admittance to the hospital. His com- panions escaped with scratches. Brown's manglé’d body was found under a train which was being made up in the yard. Inquests will be held in both fat- alities. The local branch of the Daughters of the Empire held their monthly meet- ing Tuesday night at the. home of the} Regent. Miss M. Hunter, where the .routine business was gone through, such as the receiving of the reports of secretary and treasurer, passing ac- counts and the like. It was decided the Daughters would sell poppies this year Perhaps the most important matter dealt with the question of tender- ing a banquet to the returned Veter- ans of Durham and district who will join in the Armistice Day services at i the monument. As usual, the Daughters do nothing by halves. and this year it is to be a big honest-to-goodness groast fowl supper. a supper that will ‘make a lot of we stay-at-homes during .the war period wish we had grabbed Daughters of Empire Giving Armistice A deal was closed last up our trusty rifles and took to dit- ching over in Flanders fields.

Dr. Junie- son, Principals in Interesting Cere- Comer Stone Laid For New Church portant day for the followers of the Presbyterian faith ln Pricevllle, as on that day, the cornerstone of their new church ' was well and truly laid, and the services of the congregation may .be held in the new building this winter. It is quite an undertaking these days the erection of a new church, but in the case of Priceville, the work has not been undertaken without full con- sideration, and the indications are that the new building, when erected, will be nearly, if not altogether paid for. now nothing remains to be done but meet the superstructure, which will be gone ahead with in all haste that Last Saturday, the day set for the ceremony, was not a day to draw large crowds. and for this reason perhaps the crowd was not as large as it would otherwise have been, but at that there was a full house present when the ceremony commenced. Rev. Dr. MacIvor the pastor, had charge of the meeting, which was commenced with prayer and invocation and the singing of that old favorite hymn. “O God Our Help in Ages Past.” Rev. Robert Honeyman, of Dromore, read the scripture lesson and the gathering joined in the Apost- les“ Creed. Laying the Cornerstone The laying of the cornerstone was performed by the Hon. W. H. Price. Attorney-General for Ontario, and Hon. Dr. Jamieson. of Durham, chairman of the Old Age Pensions' and Mothers’ Allowances Commissions. During the placing of the stone in position, the principals repeated the words: a house to be erected under the name of the Presbyterian Church, Prioeville, and devoted. to the worship of Almighty “In the name of the Father. and of the Son, we lay this corner stone of “ ‘Behold I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious, and he that be- lieveth on Him shall not be confound ed.’ “In this place. may the faith flourish. the fear of God and love of the breth- ren. Here may the voice of prayer con- tinually be heard, the voice of rejoic- ing and salvation, the voice of praise and invocation of God’s most glorious and honorable Name, the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, henceforth and forever.” In opening the meeting the Rev. Mr. MacIvor, referred to the debt the con- gregation owed Mr. Price and Dr. Jamieson when the matter of adjusting was under consideration. They had been the affairs following church union more than kind to the delegation sent to Toronto to interview them. had gin Last Saturday, the 29th day of Oc- en them every consideration, and had settled the existing differences fairly and equitably. Mr. MacIvor told briefly of the manner on which the decision had been reached to‘erect a new edi- flee. The first discussion had taken place in April, 1930. then in the follow- ing August, arrangements had been had been secured instead of one in the rear. Nothing more was done until Au- gust of this year. “It could not be said that the matter had been hurried. or gone into without due consideration," said the speaker. Last August it was finally decided to build. The structure was to be 36 x 50 feet, with concrete foundation, and brick veneered super- structure. The basement had been built with volunteer labor and was complet- ed in record time. Both men and women of the congregation had done stellar work and it was hoped to go ahead im- mediately, weather permitting, that servicw could be held in the basement this winter, and the auditorium fur- nished and made ready for occupancy next summer. No time was to be lost in getting up the framework and the feature in the erection of a building, not so much the actual laying, as the spirit put into the effort. The church was the centre of life in the community. In olden times the church was the ral- lying point for the district, and he ex- pressed regret that our modem means Hospital Roadway To Be Drained The regular November meeting of the council was held Tuesday night, but not very much outside of routine busi- ness was done, the session lasting only an hour. Accounts amounting to $780 were passed, with the October relief bills amounting to $66 being also ord- ered paid. A letter was received from W. D. Henry, Clerk of Peace, that the town treasurer must be regularly bond- ed, and copies forwarded to Mr. Henry and the town council. A decision was arrived at to drain the Durham Road from the Hospital west to O. 8. Hunt- er’s, the work to be done on the relief plan, and to be commenced at once.

It is likely 'the invitation will be accepted. of transportation too often takes us away from our home and our church. The things Which were worth while were always obtained by sacrifice and it was the things which we sacrifice for that we appreciated. and valued the most. The speaker thought the church and the minister should be above criti- cism. and he admonished the congre- tion to be charitable to their ministers, who were only human after all. Instead of criticism they should have the sup- port of the congregation. The minister could criticize, too, if he would some- times speak his mind, but. instead. he exercised charity towards all and was entitled to like consideration by his congregation. Mr. Price said of late years the pub- lic had been contracting bad habits, he amongst them. We are prone to blame others for our troubles. We blame ev- erybody and everything but ourselves for our troubles. We had been living too high, and now that the time for retrenchment was here. we blamed the other fellow for our condition. The Governments, the ministers. our county councils. were all blamed. for someâ€" thing for which we ourselves were large- ly responsible. We should be charitable. Not Much Blaine: at Reg-uh: Meet in; My. The church has a great Opportunity today, said Mr. Price. If he were to offer any criticism. it would be that the church was not sufficiently aggressive. It must go out after people. People lose faith and must be continually remind- ed. The church was the great moulder of character in the community, and the church and those in authority must stand together against those who would tear down by force. In this free country we had the ballot, and force should not be tolerated in any effort to change or tear down our institutions. Referring to the low prices now being paid for farm products, the absence of a market for our manufactured pro- ducts. and the general depression in business all over the country, Mr. Price asked. “Why?" We were all to blame, he said. No one class was blameless. When times were good we did not look into the future. This was a testing time for all of us. a time when the building of character was of more importance than the accumulation of dollars and cents. Character was always built in adversity. never in prosperity. Charac- ter was the greatest things in life. Here was where the church had a great 0p- portunity in times like the present, the moulding of character. and he had the faith that it would not fall. Mr. Price congratulated the congre- gation on its efforts and hoped they would be successful ones. He hoped to be back when the new church was completed and would be delighted to Hon. Dr. Jamleson was the next speaker. He opened- his address by say- ing he was not going to attempt any- thing along the lines so ably covered by Mr. Price, and devoted some time to remarks of a reminiscent nature. He referred to the early days when the Gaelic was the common language of Priceville, and referred feelingly to many of his former acquaintances and close friends, now no longer with them. He had known Priceville for more than 50 years and mentioned many of the old families, the McArthurs, McLeam. Mc- Donalds, and others. He had' many warm friends among them, but many oi them had long Dr. Jamieson regarded the church as a stabilizing influence in the commun- ity, and cautioned against the growth of Sovietlsm, Communism. and the oth- (Continued on We 5.) since passed from the VETERANS PARADE NEXT SUNDAY MORNING attend their unnuul church m next Sunday morning in the Presby- terian church, where Rev.

MASONIC “AT HOME” PLEASANT AFFAIR Members of Local Lodge. Wives and Friends, Enjoyed Pleasant Evening In Entertainment and Dancing. The annual “At Home” of Durham Masonic Lodge was held in the town hall last night, and was well attended by members. their wives and friends. This year the programme departed somewhat from former years, the open- ing being a minstrel circle, with solos, choruses, end men and instrumentals. It was not minstrelsy of the highest class, but the performers had a lot of fun getting it into shape, and judging by the applause the audience absorbed considerable enjoyment listening to it. The programme was followed by lunch, in order that the older ones and those who did not care for late hours could return home early, the remainder spending the evening in dancing and cards. It was pronounced the most en- joyable Masonic “At Home” in a good many years. TRANSIENTS MAY BE ASKED TO WORK tend Chuck Nut SID“! Morning. WhenSpechISa-monwmbem- edbyBcv.B.D.W.
