A TIMELY SERMON
at
M.On Sunday morning, Rev.
Gordon, B.D., minister of
Presbyerian Church preached
mon on the Seventh Commandment.
Mr. Gordon has been taking up the
Sermon on the Mount in a series of
excellent addresses. His sermon on
Sunday wasi a fearless yet modest
attack on the social canker that is
eating out the vitals of present-day
life. The prevelance of the double
standard and tho lack of a strong
public opinion against looseness of
morals were deplored.
i
S.
Caven
a ser-
Mr. Leon V. Treble, of Toronto,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Treble
of town, is to be congratulated upon
his appointment as art director for
Brigden’s Limited. Brigden’s has. a
complete service to art buyers in
cluding advertising layouts of all
kinds and descriptions and are the
largest concern of its kind in Can
ada. Mr. Treble learned the print
ing trade with the Exeter Times and
after going to Toronto took up com
mercial art and has made a splen
did success. He is the youngest art
director in the Dominion of Cana
da.
FATHER AND SON BANQUET
The Sunday School auditorium of
Caven Presbyterian church was fill
ed to capacity on Thursday evening
of last week when the men and
boys of the congregation sat down
in pairs to an excellent banquet pre
pared and served by the ladies of
the Congregational Circle. Every
chair was taken and extra places
had to be set. Rev, S. M. Gordon
did the honors as toastmaster in his
Usual capable manner. After the
toast to ,‘The King’’ had been hori’-
ored by the National Anthem a toast
to the Presbyterian Church in Can
ada was proposed by Mr. J. G. Stan-
bury and responded to by Mr. Henry
Strang. Mr. Grafton Cochrane ir^
a humorous address proposed thd
toast to The Fathers and this was1,
responded to in a clever speech by
Mr. Thomas Pryde. The Ladies were
remembered and complimented in a
toast sponsored by Dr. Atkinson ahd
Mrs. Ellis, President of tho Congre
gational Circle replied. Interspers
ed among the toasts was a cornet
solo by Mr. H. Gldloy and a violin
solo by Mr. Grafton Cochrane both
of which were much appreciated. So
great was the success of the men’s
venture that now the women are
planning a Mothers and Daughters
banquet with men only doing the
catering,
He preached both morning and ev
ening and delivered an address to
the school in the afternoon. A
children’s choir occupied the choir
loft and surrounded the pulpit for
the morning and afternoon services.
At the afternoon service the awards
were presented to the winners in
the recent temperance contest and
seals and diplomas were presented
to 55 scholars who had a perfect re
cord in attendance during 1933.
Seven diplomas were awarded for
the first year’s perfect attendance.
Seals were awarded to Ilene and
Aidwin Walker who have had a per
fect record for ten years. The or
chestra provided music. A duet was
sung by Misses Gladys Stone and
Hazel Elliott and a selection was
sung by the primary. An address
especially for the primary on "the
Good Shepherd’’ was given by Mr.
Southcott.
At the morning service the speak
er gave a character study with Dan
iel as the background. The even
ing service was especially for young
people, the subject being the value
of ideals, suggesting the possibility
of the service young people may
render this day and age through the
dreaming of dreams and the seeing
of visions. The world needs turning
up-side down in order to be turned
right .side up. Competition should
be turned to co-operation; disinter-
gration to unity; war to peace and
hate to love. The distress of the
present world is but the travail of
the new day, said the speaker.
There is a great day dawning if
people will seek first the kingdom
of God. The world * has passed
through two stages. It entered the
second stage with the coming of
Christ to earth. Since that time the
teachings of Christ have been
preached and taught and the time
is now ripe for putting into action
these principles which if carried out
and combined with our present day
industrial development and mach
inery would wipe out poverty and
much of our present day ills and
diseases. Life’s present problem is
to be able to1 appreciate that God’s
will is lAan’s interest and to do the
will of God is to create a heaven
in individual hearts and to bring to
pass the fulfilment of the Lord’s
Prayer ‘"Thy kingdom come, Thy
will be done on earth as it is in
heaven.’*

and wound up with a clever s'kdt
"Uncle Peter from Millersville.’’
