Epoch-Making Days.---- Clergy. mon in 75 Years. - Gaelic Service Attracts many 119m far and near. Lalona Congregation Sunday and Monday last, the 'at) bers and adherents of Latona Pres- byterian Church, Dornoch, were mark-i in: time in the progress of church lite and history, whey they paused to observe the seventy tirth anniver- sary of church lite in their district. The membership of that age came to their place of worship on foot: to-day they come in motor care. The human voice was then the only musical guide: now the organ leads in the service of praise, with a 'eltoir' to swell forth on the old Psalm tunes "Martyrdcrm," “Duke Street". "San- dcc." etc. Wt: doubt it the singing of these Psalms mean as much in the present day. Many more comparisons past versus present, might be made, but we are not going to enum- erate them. Suffice to say the con- gregation has had their sunshine and shadow days, and feel grateful to a Higher Power tcr leadership. As special speaker on Sunday, the church was fortunate in securing Rev W. S. Galbraith ot Rogers' Road Presbyterian Church, Toronto, who brought. to them Sunday morning. a sermon on "Remembrance." Re- membrance of the old home overseas, the faith and piety of their forbears. How true was the word picture ot Scotland Robert Burns conveyed. when he pictured the scenes as de- scrlbed in "Cotter'tg Saturday Night". We should “ways remember the en- durance and struggles of these brave pioneer soul- tn the new land. where they endeavored to plant the Word of God in their midst. The torch thrown to the descendants was an a sacred trust. to be kept burning. At 3 p.m., Mr Galbraith conducted a Gaelic service tor the benefit of seven! who can yet follow that ser- vice. The church was tuled to capac- ity ttnd visitors were present from many outlying points. The local choir were assisted by members of Durham Presbyterian choir. Mrs Harding was at theornn. and at morning service there was a male quartette, comprising Messrs A. Cr. McComb, T. M. McFadden, E. Buschlen. B. MeArthur. As well. Miss Elizabeth Harding rendered a solo. "ivory Palaces.” At the even- ‘ng service. Mrs. T. M. McFadden of Durham contributed a solo, as did al- to the resident pastor, Rev J. R. Greig.

He was one of a family 'ct' ten children, born in Ohio, raised on the toe of his father's boot and fin a. home that had all conveniences, [such as running water, ete,--i. e., Eevery time a ueluge came, the min Iran m the home! I In 1878 the family emigrated to Ea- ;sex, Canada, where they were assur- ed ot three meals a. day: cornmeal, oatmeal and mlss-a-meal! The tam- illy eventually became hunters, shoot- ]ing quails for market at loc a shot. As they grew to manhood, Northern iOntano was their objective tor big ggame and here he met his ttrat loss, 'in the death ot his older brother, lwhom he held as everything dear. That he became a crack shot and skilled in all hunting and trapping pursmts. he attributes to the power of the Almighty. The Womert's Institute are to be co.ugrataiated on bringing Jack Mue er to Durham. He is a tonic in en- thusiasm and one ot the moat lovab- le or characters. it ts many years since he has become a national tur- ure through his tagging of the Can- ada goose and other means tor her restoration. His work is now recog- nized by both the Canadian and U. S. Governments in the way ot grants ter upkeep, etc. There was a matin- ee on Tuesuay for school children, as well as others who cared to go, and he spoke tea lull hail. The evening lecture the hall was again comfor- tably filled. Midway in program, "Jack" asked the committee ot lad- ies to let in any boys on outskirts of the building. Lack ot money should not keep them out. His love of Bird life and Everything that Flies Evident.- Exhibits many Fine sud". l His love for the wild geese and for every flying thing. came as a ‘natural outcome. The Bible gives us the tirst game law, Duet. 22:64: "it Ia bird's nest chance to bebetore thee yn the way, in any tree or on the !ground, whether they be young ones l or eggs, and the dam sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs. thou shalt ;not take the dam with the young". 3 "But thou shalt in any wise let the .dam go and take the young to thee: that it may be well with thee and ‘that thou mayest prolong thy days." , Jack contends that the geese are not wild: any animal that has sense enough to fly one half mile away tor self-preservation is not wild. They obey laws to evade the hunter and safeguard themselves from approach- ing storms. He claims that a goose knows more by starlight than a crow will know all its life. Someday, Jack contends, the goose will havea place on our national flag. (lille It was in 1904 that he made his tlrst "mud hole'" for the Canada goose to come to as a haven. It was in 1908 before the first 11 geese came in 1909, 32 wild geese came to his pond: in 1910, 350 came and in 1911, there was a string of them three miles long. All to prove the con- tennon that birds do come back. In 1932 he fed them 10,552 bushels ot corn and 500 bus. ot various grains. It was while tending his duties as night-Stoker on his brick yard planta- tion. looking upwards at the stars, that the inspiration seized him to ex- tend the. missionary cause by tag- ging his geese and on this tag con. vey a scriptural message. He now has on his place an ingenious trap for waylaying them and the tagging is done in the moat painless method. These birds are found by their tags as far north as Batttn land and New- foundland. Jack Miner Is a splendid booster ot Ontario's advantages. For the bene fit of his audience, he sang to "Alou- ette', an original song "Our Ontario", which describes her wealth on land, air and Bea. One bird that should be strictly banned from here is the iniquitous little starting - really a European spam-ow. He did not not see any in Canada until 1924, but since then have done untold damage to fruit and crops. He has on his ranch a trap for snaring same and has got over 300,000, but 1,000,000 have come to their funeral! He has approbaxlon ot his work by President Hoover, Henry Ford and other dignitaries. For a man educat. ed in the school ot hard knocks as has Jack Miner, he has made swan- derful contribution to melety.

Class ot Queen St.‘ United Church and Young Peopie's Society of Zion Church, met in the, former church on Monday night, on a. social basis and as debating powers whets the mud of both speaker and listener, the audience were priv- ileged in hearing the oratory pour forth on “Is the Modern Pulpit los- ing its Power?" There were other numbers on the program but this was the drawing card. The tufirma- tive speakers-that the pulpit was losing its p0Wer,-wtu' championed by the Zion young people, Mrs Clif- ford Cook, Mrs Emerscn Penn and Mr Cameron Robson. That the pulpit was holding its own or negative, was upheld by Mr Irvine Sharpe ,B. A., Miss Lucy Robbins and Mr Reg. Steed. The Judges were Barrister J. ml McQuarrie, Mdss Margaret Momma! Miss Alice Ramage, who brought in a decision in favor of the attirmative.l Many splendid points and Itt1a,ltl le questions in themselves, were air- ed on both sides. Every line of arg- ument pro and con, were brought be-l tore the audience and the refutation made were to the point, particularly that ct Mrs Cook, who was moat apt in her final reply. i Among other things, the ttttIrma- tive brought out, that the modern minister, as compared to St Paul of Biblical times as a Prophet, Priest and Pastor, was sadly wanting. They contended there is not the same trust repoaed in ministers as of old, and the rank and file now go to law- yers for advice. The church was losing its personal touch and empty pews to-day are the result. The negative speakers sought to' show that the modern world is um' dergoing a change of thought. all for the better. We were getting away from doctrines and creeds. The radio reached a large audience that listen- ed in regardless of creed -in fact, it broadened religion. The Bible char- acters continue to challenge the youth of the land to higher ideals. Mrs Padfield as President of the A.O.T.S. Class, welcomed the visit- ing Zion Society and herself contrib- uted an interesting talk on "Life, as an Adventure." A mixed quartette was rendered by Messrs Stanfier and Padfield, Mrs M. Wilson and Miss N. Cannon and a solo by Mr Bert Saun- ders. At the close. light refreshments were served the guests in the school- rncm. where Rev. Mr Almack acted in a mcst happy manner the role of host. M'ss Ethel Anderson on be- halt of Zion society, thanked Durham tar the hospitality shown, to which Mr W. Glass responded.

Related Origin and Construction of Telephone Durham Chapter, Royal Arch Ma..) sons, with a number of the A.F. & A. i M. brethren, were provided a unique) entertainment after their regular ses-' sicn on Monday evening, when Comp}; J. M. McIntosh. of the Bell Telephone; Co. of Stratford, addressed them uponl the origin, and wide-spread use of the telephone, and illustrated its con. struction and operation in the large cities by means of splendid motion pictures. He obllgingly came, upon the invitaticn given by Comp. A. M. Graham, local lineman. In opening, Mr McIntosh related the invention ot the telephone, and trac- ed its development and use up to its widespread ramifications of today. The United States, he stated, has mere phones, in proportion to popular ticn than any other country in the wcrld, but Canada holds the record for use made of the telephone, with the highest average of calls per phone. In Durham Central alone. he remark- ed, 1500 to 1900 calls are made daily. Several reels of pictures were then displayed, the firgt two showing scenes of gathering the various woods and metals used in construction of the telephone. in countries spread all over the globe, and other reels depict- ing the passing ot the current trans- mitting the voice from receiver to receiver. and revealing service given to remove 'tmuble.' A hearty vote of thanks was tendered the speaker for his tine, illustrated talk.
