Their dialogue speeches have in many casâ€" es become household words and their immense radio audience follow them with sympathetic feelings or otherâ€" wise, as Amos ‘n Andy depict their tale. So great was their influence the past year in their court diaoigue reâ€" garding the treatment of the ‘third degree‘ prisoner, that a new feeling had risen among the people that a fairer hearing was essential. They are exponents of clean humor and their simple talk carries nothing that might make any one blush to hear. They talk in the language that is applicable to the great common people and their successes and failâ€" ures are also ours if we examine ourâ€" selves closely enough. Their loyalty to each other is also another strong trait in their makeup and the speaâ€" ker applied this loyalty to what that greater loyalty means in linking our selves to something both greater and It was an ususual topic and preâ€" sented in an unusual and eloquent Radio Favorites made the Basis of a Sermon Amos ‘n Andy for the benefit of a very few "not in the know" in this modern age, are two of the most popular entertainers over the air toâ€" day. They pose as two clever coons, arnd the manipulations of their throat are so elastic that they imitate a dozen different characters in o their conversations without a flaw. In tact their work is so entertaining that it is claimed that it is not safe to eall a party in Kitchener by teleâ€" phone at the 7 p. m. hour, when Amos ‘n Andy ‘are on.‘ _ Well,â€"you would not get an answer. Amos ‘n Andy have the floor. A new phase of their work was brought before the evening audience in Knox Church, Durham on Sunday, when Rev W. H Smith, B.

Billingsley of the Anglican Church gave the address of evening , which was a fitting summary of the reason the audience had assembled themâ€" selves this night. The Guelph Mercury tells the story of an amusing incident which took place during the course of Sir Harry Lauder‘s performance there recently. It appears that shortly after the time that the curtain in the collegâ€" iate auditorium was due to rise, the telephone in one of the large school offices, which flank the large assembâ€" ly hall, rang, and when a citizen who was close to it, answered the call, he was amazed to have an unknown voice request him to leave the reâ€" ceiver hanging so that the voice of Sir Harry Lauder might be heard. The implication is that the voice beâ€" longed to a fellow Scot, and Sir Harry, who rather takes pride in his thrifty makeâ€"up, would doubtless apâ€" preciate the ruse of his admiring compatriot. The election of officers took place, resulting as follows: President, Rev. B. D. Armstrong: 1st viceâ€"president, J. B Duffield: 2nd viceâ€"president, D. McCallum: secretary, C. H. Darling: Treasurer, J. A. Rowland. Sir Harry Lauder in Gueliph At the cenotaph the roll was calâ€" led by C. H. Darling and the Last Post and Reveille was sounded by George Yiirs.

SPLENDID REPAST AT PRESBYTERIAN FOWL SUPPER His absorbing passion was music with all its attributes. Deceased also had the poetical instinct and in leisâ€" ure hours transcribed on paper many beautiful . thoughts, some of which have been arranged to music. _ The Scottish traits of industry, thrift and integrity never left him and he has passed from earthly scenes honored and respected. Deceased‘s life was one of service to the community and neighborhood. Over fifty years ago he was married to Elizabeth Maitland, of Durham,â€" a teacher at the time in Watson‘s schoolhouse.

For so many years he wassuch a vital part in the life of the community that an event was not an event if James Watson and his lamented helpmeet were not behird it. While reaching a wonderâ€" ful age, he did not grow old with the years, but rather retained that spirit of youthfulness, that made him just as companionable in a young people‘s gathering as one of his own circle of years. _ His outlook on life was bright and he was always ready for the story or joke. His philosophy on life was something wholesome and he had the happy faculty of exâ€" pressing himself well on matters of this nature.
