TRIIVITT MEMORIAL ' • CHURCH NEWS Mrs. Egan, who recently left Exe- ter to reside in Lucan, .was ,present- ed with a floor lamp by the members of the Trivitt Memorial Ladies' Guild, as a slight token of their es- teem for one of their oldest and most hard-working memoers. The Ladies Guild of Trivitt Mem- orial held an oyster supper in the Oddfellow's Block last Saturday ev- ening from 5 to 8. The proceeds amounted to $55; and it is probable that similiar functions Inay he held tinder the auspices of this organi- zation during the winter months. The Trivitt Memorial A.Y.P.A, held their meeting in the Parish Hall on 'Monday night last. After some routine business had been transacted, the Executive Commit- tee were authorized by the members present to draw up a program for the months after Christmas. It was decided to hold the next meeting o1 Monday night, January 6th and• in the meantime an extensive cam- paign for new members will be Ili- augurated. The great event of the closing year in. Trivitt Memorial is the for- tieth nniversary of the Conse- cration of the Church, which took place on December 31st 1889 alul which will be commemorated on Sunday, December 29th, the last Sunday of the year. The morning service will be In eharge of the A.Y,P.A.; and the evening service will be conducted ley the Laymen's Association. The preacher at both services will be the new rector, Rev. J. J. Fenton B.A. It is significant, that. Elizabeth Trivitt, wife of the generous donor of Trivitt ,Memorial Church, was buried on the afternoon of the day on which the church was consecrated and Bishop Baldwin preached at her funeral as well as At the consecration of the Cherclh. Next week we hope to publish tt brief history of Anglican activities at Exeter from the pen of the new Rector. As this commemoration is a landmark in history of the wholo Exeter eoulmnrnity as well as the Anglican eonngregationn it is hoped that a largd gathering will assemble Within the walls of the "Catlnedi'al" of Duron Deanery and certain it is that those who hear the coin:tliertlor- ittielt Sermons will not be disap- pointed, Further particulars next ween. A Sunday in New York IicT, James Anthony tells of itis trill. to New York ttr )argt, .ewtgrcga. tloxl, Rev. Jas. Antllony, of the Thames Road, occupied the pulpit of the James Street United church on Sun- day evening and gave a very inter- esing account of his recent trip to •New York to an appreciative an- dience. Mr. Anthony is always a welcome visitor to the James Street pulpit and a large .congregation was • present to hear this very fluent and jovial speaker tell of his experiences In the metropolitan city and particu- Iarly how be spent the .Sabbath day. To understand a Sunday in New York ane must know a good deal of New York life, For this reason Mr. Anthony told of his morning journey down the hanks of the lord- ly Hudson with its world famed pal- isades, its nighty bridges, its scores of thriving towns and cities, its col- leges incl its thousands of private residences suggestive of the dwell- ings of aristocracy of the older world. Beyond the Hudson lay. the Catskill and Adironack mountains clothed in silence and shrouded in luminous mist as if oppressed by the mystery and struggle of human ex istenee. From all this quiet the visitor was plunged gasping and fearful into the heaving tide of the traffic of the metropolis, where to MOW a misstep was to invite death. "Then followed the view of the city from the twe;lty-second story of ono of the sky -scraping hotels. Nest the audience was listening to the sweet tones of the chimes of Grace Church as the matchless bells re- minded the eager, pursuing, tumul- tuous throng that man does not live by bread alone. Next the folk fol- lowed the speaker to Wall Street, that' strange meeting place of the weak and broken and of the mighty and triumphant. Next the audience were taken to Trinity Church with its fine .architecture and its grave- yard -that temple of silence where all distinctions are levelled forever. The audience were next shown through the aretropolitan museum of art with its wonders of beauty and appealing loveliness. Next they followed- the speaker to the grill rboms •of the great hotel where folk ate with/,such correctness and abun- dance and where they danced with such fixed smile and immobile coun- tenance but with so little apparent 'fun and enjoyment. There was the story of delightful lunches where the country parson listened in. on the conversations of, big business. They were shown the jaded faces of the rich who .knew nothing but the gett- ing of money and of fighting the Merciless battle Where dollars 'are only regarded. Tine listeners fol- lowed the -speaker through. the pal- aces •of business and the cathedrals of commerce till at last the Sunday morning came and they walked with him into tine synagogue where Dr. Fosdick carries on his prophetic min- istry. 'Into this great building crowd those who worship at the al- tar of mammon but who find that worship unsatisfying. 'There come the shop girls and the young me- chanics and engineers burdened with question "What and I to do with my life" as well as the men whose nod makes or breaks the market. Hither they come to ask this, elan known wherever the English language is spoken, "Man of God. What have you to say to us that is of supreme importance." To his audience, some jaded in. the vain pursuit of thrills, many of them breaking under the titanic blows of the crashing stock market, others suddenly rich because of for- tunate venture -to ail -to rich and poor, to all, 11e cried, "Pull yourself together!" Jesus Christ alone -can enable you to do so. Then follow- ed the discussion in the special lunch .provided for all who cared to attend in which the sermon was gone over by men of all ranks and at which life problems were freely discussed by some of the keenest hnin:ds in the city. There was the evening service in Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, the cathedral of Presbyterianism of the city where the music is lovely beyond all tell- ing .bjht so .simple that one cannot help hitt sing --•whether he .knows the tune 'or is ignorant thereof, but wlkere the usher tells the visitor that if he interested in the great church that lie enlist go down to Wall Street "we're doing what we can to gather them int." Sunday is a great day in New York. There the title of commerce gets its direc- tion and tine nighty metropolis gets the tome that transforms :her Babel. sounds into the 1111111 of industry that makes glad the heart of lean, STEPHEN EtLt j.1t EAS NARROW ESCAPE FROM FIRE What might have been a serious fire happened recently bni the farm of Mr. John Hirtzel.
