John McNeil.1*" Among those who were leaders in the movement to build "were John Whiddon, Jas. Campbell, Donald McKenzie, James Donaldson, Murdoick Ross, (John Fraser and Dr. Stanbury. In 1925 a vote was- taken and union with the Methodist Church was carried by a small majority and it became known as" St. Andrew’s United Church. The Presbyterian Women’s Mis­ sionary Society continued to work ■ and soon a congregation was organ­ ized and services held in the town i hall under student pastors. Gordon ‘ Peddie is the present pastor. For j two years Bayfield was connected with Brucefield 'congregation, until the latter disbanded. Various min- {isters of the presbytery have also assisted, .in the services. The board ’ of managers at present are J. Rich­ ardson, L. Thomson, A. Armstrong, Thomas WestlaJke, Carl Houson, S.

Pauli, of the Anglican 'Church, were conveyed by the moderator, Rev." I. B‘. .Kaine, B.A., of Seaforth, preach­ ed the sermon. Rev. J. B. Rhodes, of Exeter, pronounced the benedic­ tion. Following this service refresh­ ments were served on Mrs. Foster’s lawn. .The new church is to be dedicated on July 10, as Knox Church, and the formal opening will be held on July 13. Commenting this to say: “At the prices which can be obtained for wheat in the open market to-day there is not a country in the world which can grow wheat at a profit, even in its most favoured districts and with every heli> from modern science and, mechanization. In the great wheat­ exporting countries—Canada, ‘Australia, Argentina, and the Middle West of the United States—-the farmer, where not already ruined, faces imminent ruin. The peasants in South-Eastern Europe are in the same desperate position. Nor is it only the grain-growers and the grain-growing countries which are affected. The des­ truction of their prosperity and the diminution of their purchasing power react on the export trade of the industrial countries, and are among the chief causes of the economic depression from which the whole world is suffering. More than in any other industrial coun­ try th© effects are felt in Great Britain, three-quarters of whose export trade—a larger proportion than is the case with any of her competitors—is with countries whose purchasing power is based, on their agricultural exports.” These are serious words. Graver still they deal with the sit­ uation of portentous gravity. Surely the hour has struck for every­ one capable of doing so. to stop, to consider’ and to resolve. Our Chamber of Commerce is bound to 'call together our business men, our farmers, our bank managers and all others who value the safety and the prosperity of our locality. Living as we do under­ conditions in which Providence has given us everything necessary for our physical well .being, we are scarcely aware of the storms that threaten dr of the earthquake, shocks of financial and social upheaval that are far nearer than we dream and more awe-inspiring than has entered into the heart of man. The change is -coming. The new day is almost here-. Whether the day is to ibe one of disaster and revolution or a time of the passing of the blade into the ear and then to the full corn in the ear depends, under God, on the way in which men look the facts"of our existence’ ill ’the face. Me if " make- dull .music when singing on an empty stomach either God- Save- the King or the long metre doxology. Press and pulpit and platform are going the limit in the way of warning. Continuing its discussion of the wheat situation as it affects the Unied States and Russia the Times says: “No one knows what the intentions of the Federal Farm Bo-arcL of the United States are wih regard to its huge surplus of unsold® wheat, and outside the United States no one even knows -the exact amount of that surplus. ‘There is also considerable doubt as to which of the two motives influencing the .wheat policy of the Soviet Government will gain the upper hand.” “As Communists, working avowedly and persistently for tlie overthrow of the existing social order in Europe, they are anxious to use every weapon they can to intensify the present economic de­ pression, and for that purpdse the wholesale exporation of wheat 6at unremunerative prices has already proved unpleasantly effective. The Russian peasant, who pays the penalty, appears to have been cowed into complete subjection. On the other hand, from the point of view of the Five Years Plan, it would suit them better to agree to export less wheat if, as the result of an agreed policy, they were to receive more money for it with which to purchase the machinery and raw materials needed to make the Plan a success, and any in­ crease in the unexported surplus would enable them to provide better rations for their underfed workers. But even the most sin­ cere cooperation on the part of both the United States and Russia will not in itself overcome the obstacles in the way of success. All experience has shown that schemes for the artificial restriction of production and ‘increase of prices are difficult to devise, and even • more difficult to work.
