The speak­ er for the morning and evening ser- ' vices were two laymen from St. ' Marys while in the afternoon Mre. > Lome Eedy, a former member of ’ the Main St. Sunday School gave a splendid talk to the scholars. At the morning service the members of the school were seated on the plat­ form and occupied the choir loft leading with the singing. The newly organized orchestra under ership of Wm. Geddes, splendid music throughout At the morning service and Lillian Kestle sang a the men’s quartette Harold and Gerald Skinner, Jim f Mr. W.

Beavers has been appointed to Marys, a fellow student ot Mr. Beavers while attending Collegiate Institute. Mr. White said that they had come to pay a debt that was ow­ ing because Mf. Beavers in an em­ ergency had helped them out with their layman’s program. Mr. White asked the scholars which of them had the best Sunday School teacher and practically all of them raised their hands. The Christian life he said was summed up in three words ‘•‘Friendishljp with Jesus”; and the work of the Sunday introduce the boys Jesus. We believe in eter and for Canada lieve in Christ for the world. Not all believe in Christ for China and for India. Some people say these nations have their own religion why bother them with ours. Mr. White emphasised the missionary spirit by telling other stories of heroic sac­ rifice by some of our missionaries at home and in China. An open session of the Sunday School was held in the afternoon at wihich iM’rs. Eedy spoke. Mrs. Eedy is a daughter of the late Rev. Jas-, per Wilson at one time pastor of Main some most dren. again also sung by Mrs. (Dr.) Follick, of St. Marys and Miss Mabel Follick. At the evening service the chil­ dren again occupied seats on the platform. The speaker was Mr. Lome Eedy, editor ;of the St. Marys. Journal-Argus. Mr. Eedy paid trib­ ute to the Devonshire people and spoke nf his recent visit to Exeter and Torquay in Devonshire. Mr. Eedy spoke of the rapid strides made in scientific discovery and mechanical invention which resulted in over production. People had laid emphasis on achievement and have tried to live by leaving God out. We can be assured that no system can be devised by man Which will enable us to live in peace and good Jesus peace men. gether, all nations as brethren has not been solved. This is the chall­ enge to the youth of to-day. This is a wonderful age to be born into. The boys and girls of to-day will be the men and women who will guide the destines of business, the state and the nations. To-day men and women are in trouble, men are un­ employed, men are in debt, business men, who five years ago were suc­ cessful in a commercial way find ambitions crumbling about them. They are hungry for something’they have, not got. The challenge comes to reach out our hand to the un­ fortunate brother. No life is happy or successful unless Jesus Christ has a proper place in it. iMr« Eedy spoke of the Oxford Group Move­ ment which he believed is trying to bring the Sermon on the Mount down to present day application. The present generation has largely failed and the challenge comes to the boys And girls of to-day to help make tt new World of surrendering their lives to Jesus Christ and liv­ ing' under Christian influences.

He has given the best of his time and attention to its affairs The inspector of insurance has al­ ways spoken very highly of his efficiency and during all the years that he has been associated with the company the auditors have always found his work in perfect shape When Mr. Turnbull took over the office the net risks in force amount­ ed to $.4,779,990' and at the close of 193'3 it was $11,572,8051 or almost two and a half times greater. Mr. Turnbull is coming to the age where he feels that he would like to be re­ lieved. In 1912 he succeeded Mr. John Campbell as secretary. Mr. Beavers, the new secretary, is no stranger to the work as he was se­ cretary for five years from 1904 to 1909.
