At the meeting of the town council on Monday night arepreq sentative was present from the Hydro-Electric Commission to ex- plain matters in connection with the supplying of power from Eu- genia. Only a small amount of power was asked for for which a price was quoted but no definite action has been decided on by the council. It is highly probable fihat Durham will fall in line and a vote of the people may be asked for at the "municipal elec-v tion. We do not understand the requirements of the Commission nor the nature of the obligation to be assumed by the municipalities. For this reason we are unable to offer suggestions at the present time. ' \. Rev. J. aH. Arnup, a' secretary of the Missionary Society, ad'dressed a fair-sized audiencein the Meth- odist church Tuesday night, and' delivered a highly instructive address on missionary work in Manitoba and the west, Where he was engaged for some time. Mr'. ‘Arnup is a forceful speaker. of good personality, and chuck full of vim and vigor; His Word pictures were graphically portrayed, and were so clearly described as to be brought within the mental vision of his hearers. He emphasized the importance of mission work and the imperative necessity. of all Christian people to give it their support, even in war time, and at' a sacrifice to themselves. He is a young man, " apparently not far advanced in the thirties, a uni- versity graduate, and an earnest, convincing speaker , , , Let Us Have YOur All the mumbers of the program: )vere thoroughly enjoyed by the; _. large audience Who, by their kind; i patronage, generously aided 303 _ noble a cause.

It was formerly the custom to serve tea, followed by a program on the following Monday evening but on this occasion the tea was dispensed with and the labor of love was materially lightened, esâ€" pecially for the ladies, who have to assume the heavy end of the load. On Monday evening, a goodly number of members and friends of the congregation as-. sembled at eight o’clock, when a couple of hours were pleasantly and profitably spent. - The choir was in good form and rendered a number of excellent selections. Messrs. Busc}ilen and Harding each contributed well-rendered solos. while pointed and pithy addresses were delivered 'by Revs. Wylie, Hartley, Prudham, and the chair- man, Rev. Mr. Whaley. A brief but eloquent and thoughtful ads dress was delivered by Mr. Mills on Nation Building. This is the great day of opportunity for every man or woman to aim to attain to a worthy goal. Avoid getting into ruts, which has a narrowing influence on the human soul. The Monastic idea is un- social. This is the day of special- ization, but the raw material in its transformation into the ’ fin- ished product must have stamped upon it the character of the work- man. It is not enough to have a job in life and live on a dead level. It is too monotonous; tOU superficial and lacks length and breadth. The great thing in life is fellowship with God. The anniversary services in the Presbyterian church were held on Sunday and Monday last. On Sunday, Rev. Mr: Mills of St. Mary’s, preached very acceptable sermons both morning and even-â€" in’g. The meeting closed with the. National Anthem and‘ the bene- diction.

The order of the meeting was the same as usual excepting that Mr. Allan presided in place of the president Mr. E. fRenwick. The program was not extensive but was Well rendered. The read- ing and adoption of the minutes of the last meeting and a chorus bv the Glee Club occupied first place on the program. The read. ins: of the Gazette by the editor also a duet by Messrs. Fallaise and Wylie took next place. After this came a Well-executed drill bv the Gigl Guides, followed by an in- strumental by ,Miss Marguerite Button. The next numbers were more of .a literary nature, the one a splendid recitation bv Miss ‘Od-a field, the other an account of the probable future of the D.H.S. pus pils. A. well-rendered duet follow- ed bv ’Misses'Smith and Sparling‘. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH - ANNIVERSARY The most interesting part of the program was the Mock Par-1 liament. The members represented the different classes of society and it was very interesting throughout and also very laughable. The last number was a selection by the Glee Club. The meeting was clos- ed by the singing of the National Anthem.

Owing to lack of time we were unable last week to do more than give a mere reference to the excellent character M the Egre- mont Fair. For a purely town. ship fair it is certainly very credit~ able and fully demonstrates what can be done in the way of exhibits when a united people undertake the task. The evening’s concert was much enjoyed. Mr. Bert. Harvey is a high-class humorist. and Miss Wharton as an elocution- ist and Miss Stiles as vocalist are stars in their respective roles.
