Splendid services were held throughout the day. In the' Mora - lug Alain Street United church with- slrew their services and united with PeVen and in tie evening Trivitt 1 einorial Church was closed in fa- Vor of.the anniversary.

The front of the church was nticely decorated with autumn flow - The special speaker for the day was Rev. J. D. Cunningham, D.D., Professor of New Testament Litera- ture and Exegesis In Knox College, Toronto. Mr. Cunningham at the morning eervice took his text from Gen. 26: 19, "Isaac's servant digged in the valley and found there a spring of water." The speaker said that. there was a real bond between the present and the past; that amid the changes and counter changes that have taken place life has remained the sante. • The things that crowned men and gave men victory in the early ages are the same today and the things that defeated and depraved men are the things that defeat and deprave men today. He said that there were :three great tyrannies; the tyranny of the invisible; the tyranny of the yesterday and the tyranny of .today. It is the invisible factors that deter- mine destinies. Abraham was a man of faith, and no man could be right until his heart is atuned to God. No natter how the yesterdays had been spent man could turn over new pages and blot out the past through the grace of God. Isaac never did .anything spectacular. He was a commonplace man and what we need to remember is the place that God has for the commonplace. What we supremely need is the dog- ged determination to do the com- monplace duties quietly aand unas- aumingly giving of the cup of cold -water; nursing the sick clothing the naked and feeding the poor. There are three messages from Isaac. the commonplace orad 'to the commonplace people; first, thou ehalt dig; second, thou shalt climb high and third, thou shalt carry on. The ancient well digger did not of thedepth think of thesurface but 1�P where springs of water were found. Life is not constituted of external things but of deep eternal things. Common people are interesting when you dig beneath the surface. When - .ever you find a man or woman whose heart is at rest it is not because of what he has but what he has found. It le not enough that we make a good beginning but we must carry els:, It is our duty to remember that God's dealings with us are never completed and it is sometimes dif- ficult to see Gocl's dealings. It has not entered into the heart of man to conceive what God has laid up for those who love him. Remember to dig deep for the true and satis- fying things of life; to climb the mountains and carry through.

WEST IitellON TEACHERS HELI) SPLENDID CONVENTION The Convention of the West Hur- on Teachers' Association was held in the Main Street church, Exeter, on Thursday and Friday of this week. There were 138 teachers re- gistered representing most of the schools in the inspectorate. The Principal speaker at the Convention was I\fr. J. G. 1\IcEacheran, B.A., of the London Normal School, who gave one paper on the "Teaching of History" and another on "The Teacher's Preparation for the Teach- ing of Literature," both of which were interesting and illuminating to the teachers.

In addition to the building, the contents including the season's crops and some live stock, were burned. Threshing was 111 progress when the fire broke out, but it is doubtful if the sparks from the engine had anything to do with the blaze as the wind was blowing away from the barn at the time. HON, DR. MONTEITH ADDRESSES GATHERING A political meeting in the interest of George Elliott, Conservative can- didate for South Merron was held In the Town Hall on Thursday even- ing of last week and the hall was practically filled for the occasion. Dr. G. S. Atkinson acted as chair- man, Air. Elliott was the first speaker and dealt mainly with the temperance question. He said be was a temperance man all the way through, in a county in which not one liquor store is located. He had been a resident in the county for 25 years and was subjected to a great deal of temptation. He had never been under the influence of liquor in all his life and had never pur- chased a permit. He referred to conditions in South Iluron under the 0. T. A. and said that there was much more liquor floating about the countryside at that time than there is at present under the Liquor Cbn- trol Act. He believes that condi- tions have been greatly improved under the present law. Bootlegging had been practically eliminated. He Pointed out that it was practically impossible to enact a prohibitory law which would prohibit men from taking liquor. The special speaker was Hon. Dr. J. D. Monteith, Provincial Treasurer who spoke in place of the Hon. Wm. Finlayson. Mr. Monteith recalled the fact that when the Ferguson Government resumed office in 1923 it inherited a legacy of debt piled up by the previous government be- cause of extravagance and waste. It had taken some time to balance the budget, but this had been done and surpluses had taken the place of deficits. Alf. Ferguson has in- troduced a system for retiring the debt and getting it under control. Previous to this no arrangement had been made to meet the debt when it becomes due. The present scheme proposes to pay orf a certain amount each year and at the end of forty years by this system of regular pay- ments the consolidated debt of the province would be paid off. In 1925 the debt was 319 millions of dollars but there were assets to co- ver this indebtness with the excep- tion of 21 millions. This in time would be wiped out. The develop- ment of the province; of Northern Ontario in particular; the extension of hydro; more improved roads de- mand increased expenditures, but no new debts will be created without the provision to take care of them when due. The Conservative gov- ernment have spent more money be- cause they have received more mon- ey. Dr. Monteith stated that the great- est asset of the province is the chil- dren and that a great deal of so tial legislation for the benefit of both young and old had been en- acted. Mr. Monteith also dealt with the Temperance question to some length and spoke of the difficulty of the enforcement of prohibitory measures. He did not know of any- thing better than the Liquor Con- trol Act and Mr. Ferguson intended to improve it if it where possible. 11'. M. S. ROY'S CHURCH ENTERTAIN THAMES ROAD ' AND MT.
