N6 To Rev. James Binnie this evening was a red letter day in his life, Knox Church was always considered his home church and many happy memâ€" Grics arige of past events therein. He recalled the fine pastorate of such men as Rev. Wm. Park, Rev. Charles Cameron, the latter holding Gaelic services as well at Rocky Saugeen on the barn floor of Archie McKenzie. / He described the simple service of holy communion on that barn floor as the most touching thing he ever saw. Memories were also poignant of Rev. Robert McNair, for whom he held the highest regard. Mr. McNair presented him with the only dog he ever owned, "Jack." To the great pleasure of the audience, Mr Binn‘e recountel some of Jack‘s pranks ;nd; how little he regarded the sanctities ol the church pulpit or the sick room. Mr. Binnie in closing, paid great tribute to the people of Grey County for their sobriety, intelligence and charaeter . The church‘s influence has done much in Grey County. to exceed his length of time in Knox pulpit. While the ministers were esâ€" gential for any church, more responâ€" s hil.ty rested an the people and in Knox congregation he was never disappointed. raem came into power in Britain and reading a poem which appeared in an ad. at that date. in an Aberceen paper. This was even a short time before the regime of President Linâ€" coln of U. 8. and the Civil War. While not knowing the first pasâ€" tor, he d‘d have the pleasure of Mrs. Park‘s friendship, who passed away, recently and around whom fondest memories linger. He also knew three of Knox‘s former pastors,â€"Forest, MeNair and Jansen. Rev Mr Forest he knew well and attended his church &4 a boy. His influence of any minâ€" ister upon him was perhaps â€" greatâ€" est. With Rev. Robt. McNair, he went to college in 1879 and for three years ate at the same table. He knew also Rev Mr Jansen in college _ and elmired him for the intense lervor" and zeal he gave his work. He had, good wishes to convey to the presgâ€" | ent pastor, Mr Smith, who bids fair CANADIAN NATIONAL To Western Canada Kellogg‘s are fuil of energyâ€"and so easy to digest.

A. Wharton of _ Hamilton, ((formerly Beryl Brooks of Durham) both musical artists of a high calibre, assisted the choir morn-] ing and evening, also at Monday’s‘ | entertainment. Their solos and duets} | were given a splendid hearing. At | the close of the Monday evening en-‘ tertainment ere they returned to: 'Hamllton, Knox choir, as a token of I appreciation for their willing a-‘ sistance presented them with a u\ble| mirror centre reflector and water, lily central mount. Naturally this came as a surprise to the musical pair, but Mr Wharton, in a neat reâ€" pAy, expressed their thanks and the mutual pleasure it gave to help in these services. Adm‘# Mr. W. J. Young voilced the apprecâ€" iat‘on of the congregation to these two old friends for their services Sunâ€" day and Monday. after which"God be with you till we meet again" was sung. FAR SALE ,"‘The basis of happy national life is the community. Our industrial and merchardising leaders will have to recognize that. The community, espâ€" ecially the smaller community, is the place where the city and the countryâ€" side, the factory and the farm, meet and at that meeting place we shall find security in the future." The unsolved soc‘al enigma of chain store merchardising is this: How is the cha‘n store to make itself a part of each of the local communities in which it operates ? They must do their part to build up local communitiee (because the economic and social welfare of the nation depends on maintenance of healthy communities throughout the And from a selfish standpoint the chain stores must find a way to parâ€" ticipate more usefully in commun‘ty life because they cannot continue to be regarded as foreigners or invaders and at the same time retain the goodâ€" will of the local citizenry. The chain stores are fully aware of the problem. They are thinking hard on ways to solve it. Many experiments will be tried by them in the next few years. The remedy may be found in giving the local managers larger authority The much discussed $25â€"aâ€"week manâ€" ager of a chain store cannot be expâ€" pected to be a community leader. This suggests a possibility of local branâ€" ches of chains becoming partnerships in which both the headanarters and to buy supplies in the communities where they sell to contribute to local charities and other funds, to partic ipate in community affairs generally. but it will require a different type of manager to cdo the job successfully, rav N mR . A in which both the headquarters and local manager are financially interâ€" ested. The experts at headquarters will dictate merchandising policies; the local manager will run the store and be part of his community Whatever the formula that is deâ€" vised the trend is away from complete centralization of ownershin and wma.~.. agement.

But whether "he" or "she," they are doing worthwhile work, maintaining an intimacy of reader interest in the rural press which has no counterâ€" than four Ontario publishers who started as corresporndents of one country newspaper up in Bruce Co.

The work of the correspondent .1s Gisinterested, ‘hjs labour being usually gratuitous, yet he profits indirectly by the exâ€" perience which he receives in serving as a correspondent.
