DIED IN STAFFA JUBILEE CELEBRATION ; St. Auditorfuni is Packed, Splendid Program The Silver Jubilee of the accession to the throne of King George and Queen Mary was fittingly observed with an impressive celebration Mon day morning, A parade was formed at the school headed by Exeter’s new band under the leadership of Mr- Theo. Walper. This was their first public parade and they received a splendid ovation from the crowds which lined the Main St. Behind the band came the veterans under’ the leadership of Dr. G, S. Atkinson, Next came the public school pupils with their teachers in charge. The pupils were mostly dressed in white and decorated in colors and made a fine showing. Then came the Boy Scouts, the H. S. pupils, the Board, of Education, Members of the Us borne Council, representatives of the Stephen Council, the Exeter Council and the municipal officers. The route was down Main fit. to the James St. United church for a ser vice of Thanksgiving. The large audience which followed the march ers into the church taxed t’he audit orium to- capacity. -Chairs were placed in the aisles while others stood throughout the service. With Reeve Thos. Pryde acting as chairman the service opened with •the singing of “O Canada” followed by prayer by Rev Mr. Stainton and the scripture lesson by Rev. S. M. Gordon. Mr. Pryde in. (his opening remarks stated that we are partici pating in an event which is being celebrated around the world by almost a quarter of the inhabitants -of the earth. The people of Great Britain were participating in a solemn ser vice of thanksgiving and it was fit ting that we should meet with the same -object in view. We meet not in a spirit of boasting of deeds of greatness or of triumph but simply to gather as loyal subjects of the King, thankful for his preservation and for the many privileges we enjoy as his subjects. Some must of necessity rule while others must learn to- submit and obey. The Christian characters of their Majesties has been exemplified in: their home life; in their attendance at public worship and at this time particularly in sponsoring measures of a benovelont and charitable nat ure. Mr. Pryde -referred to those nations which are taking the opposite course and are denying the existance *of a Supreme Being. If for no other reason we should be proud to regard ourselves as citizens of the great British Empire, the throne of which is the symbol which unites the Brit ish Commonwealth. Gifts are insep arably associated with birthdays and this celebration is marked by an of fering for the relief of that great scourge, cancer, Surely this is typ ical of their Majesties not to have ■these gifts showered upon themselves but to use them for the alleviation of suffering and disease among their people. The chairman hoped that the cele bration of the Jubilee will be a memorable accasion for the boys an-d girls and all assembled. Presentation of Medal Mr. Pryde at the request of the Lieut.-Governor, Hon. H. A. Bruce, called upon Mr. Jas. Ballantyne, M. L.A. for South Huron to receive at the hands of “Miss Britania” in the person of Miss M. Gladman, the King’s Silver Jubilee medal. Mr. Ballantyne expressed his apprecia tion. He stated that thousands of these medals were being distributed throughout Canada and (he was pleas ed to be one of the recipients. The reign of King George (had not been the most pleasant. When he ascend ed the throne the Irish question was at its height. Then came the great war. Throughout it all the Royal family had held the loyalty and de votion of the Empire. A well known and highly esteem ed resident of Staffa passed away Monday evening last in the person of George A. Tuff in in hi-s 51st year. Mr. Tuffin had been ailing for the past fifteen months, but it was only the last two- weeks (lie became bed fast and critically ill, death being attributed to heart trouble. Born in Hibbert township the son of the late Mt. and Mrs. Charles Tuffin, Patriotic songs were sung by the children from the different rooms of the public school for which a prize was given and was won by the pupils of Miss Frain’s room. Miss Frain’s room also won the prize for march ing and tfheir attractive ’dress. A reading “A Song for Canada” was given by Stewart Prouty.

The Reeve At tlhe conclusion of the service Rev. Mr. Hunt pronounced the bene diction and the National Anthem was sung. Following the service the proces sion marched to the Town Hall where a splendid pageant and drill “Miss Canada” was presented by the H. S. and Sr. P. (S. girls under the direction of Miss Brown. ADDRESSES MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION The May meeting of the South Hu ron Ministerial Association was held at the home of Rev. S. R. John ston, Lucan on Monday afternoon May et’h, with a good attendance. Following the business session, Bi shop C. A. Seager, of London, was introduced by the president and ad dressed the gathering. The Bishop referred to the development which had taken place in religious thought and emphasis during the past half century and stressed the place and need of emphasizing the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the church today. The speaker pointed out that in his generation emphasis had been .placed on the historic Christ while the Resurrection and work of the Holy Spirit had been largely over looked. One of the underlying causes of the emphasis he felt, had been the application freely and remorse- lesisly, of 'historical criticism to the basis and claims of Christianity. The result had been an over-emphasis on the figure who spent a few short years on the earth. That period however, had come to an end and the movement had coincided with tlhe end of the old order, The message for the day Bishop Seager suggested was t'he message of the Living Christ and our task is to voice that mes sage. The key is to be found in the Holy Spirit. “The Church,” the Bi shop stated, “had never yet develop ed an adequate theory of the Holy Spirit—it hasn’t had time yet to de velop such a theology, particularly .in the Western Church.” “The Holy ‘Spirit” the speaker thought “was the creative spirit necessary to rebuild the world and the business of tlhe Church is to mediate that spirit to the world; to save tlhe world from making itself a hell.” Bishop Seager felt that the Church with all its im perfection was the agency of God’s redemption; only through a re-ani mated Christian society is there any hope of releasing the creative forces. The individual alone cannot do it but linked with one another, as His body, His church, we can. The speak er pointed out too that there had been a new emphasis during the past twenty-five years on Christian re union and suggested as his belief that in a few years there would be a recrudescence of that spirit. We have got to find a clue to mass wit ness,” 'he said, “the world needs a Catholic Church, the kind of which the world has not yet seen.” The members voiced their deep appreciation of the message which was both timely and thoughtful. Fol lowing the closing prayer Mrs. John son served a delightful lunch and in keeping with the day the National Anthem was sung. SOCIETIES ENTERTAIN On Monday evening the Willing Workers Mission Circle entertained as their guests the members of the W.M.S. and C.G.LT. in the James Street parlors, Miss Celia Christie, president of the Mission Circle pres ided.

T.he parts were taken by Mary Van camp, Betty .Coates, Irene Sweet and Evelyn Lawson- and the sixteenth chapter of Acts on which the play was based was recited by Helen Westcott a'ndi Ferrol Fisher. The play received many favorable com ments. Ah instrumental duet by Lauren© Beavers and Ola Reid and a piano solo by Mrs. Geo. Williams were much enjoyed. Lunch was served and a social (hour spent.
