He apologized for the absence of three musical helpers that he had| expected and poured forth in detail the wonderful work accomplished by the army in many fields and under conditions that tried the spirit and pluck of the soldiers. Mr Hurd is Financial representative of Western Ontario and knows the needs of the Army as few do. Some financial items were : ‘ Hanover lost year gave $480, this year is assuming $600 ; Durham| gave over $300 last yeor and he thanked them for the splendid reâ€" sponse. The money is spent for rent, supplies for the distressed in mind or body for the unemployed, etc. ‘ The story of Gen.

The immedâ€" iate locality of the Town Hall was the parking area for the many cars that came from rural and adjacent Presbyterian congregations, while inâ€" side the auditorium of the building, witnessed a large crowd, both mornâ€" ing and evening, to hear the mesâ€" sage that Mr Burnett had to convey to them. 1 Presbyterians Have Sucâ€" cessful Anniversary Services Many attend from Dromore, Chatsâ€" worth, Priceville, Hanover and Knox | He told of the work in India where now they work in 5000 villages, have 3500 officers, 476 day schools and are doing much there to commen‘x_l Britâ€" The Army provides fresh air camps for poor city children, at least two weeks free outing, same for harassed and burdened mothers, and every dollar is made to go further EP”‘ any other denomination can do.
