S. of the United Church, was held at Elimville on Thursday, October 3rd. In spite of the uhpleasant weather a large number attended Mrs. C. McDonell of Hensall presided. The opening .exercises were con­ ducted by the Whalen Auxiliary. Mrs, Chas. Johns, of Elimville wel­ comed the ladies very heartily and the reply was given by Mrs. Wick­ wire of Main St. Auxiliary, Exeter. Mrs. W. P. Lane, of Goderich call­ ed tlie Auxiliaries, Young Women's Auxiliaries, Circles and 'C.G.I.T. Mrs. Malcolm of Egmondville, for Mission Bands and Mrs. H. Taylor, of Exeter, for Baby Bands, are 1'6 Auxiliaries, 8 Mjssion Bands and 10 in this section. The Treasurer, Mi§s Seaforth, said the givings this year up to date were ahead of last year’s at the same date. Prayer ,was offered by Mrs. Roy MacDonald, of Chiselhurst Auxiliary and a solo rendered by • Thames Read ladies. The morning session 1 by a hymn and prayer, adjourned for dinner and tables sumptuously laden ing very attractive with deep yellow marigolds and bowls of purple grapes and dark red apples. The colors harmonized with the salads and jellies. When the ladies went again they found more awaiting them, for Miss Wellwood had decorated the front of the church with many pieces of beautiful needle work which she brought with her from China. Many of these had been given to her by her Chinese friends. The afternoon session was open­ ed by a devotional period conducted by the Thames Road Auxiliary. Then the report of the Temperance Secre­ tary was given. Then followed the outstanding feature of the Conven­ tion, the address by Miss 'Caroline Wellwood, who has been for many "ears engaged in hospital work in west China. '.She greeted her au­ dience as co-workers saying that was exactly the right word to use for the missionaries could not carry on with­ out those who backed them up at home. She took: as her subject the text “The Entrance of Thy giveth light.” She said she speak of war, and famine and of communists and devasted but she preferred to tell of ways in which the entrance of God’s word had given light in West China. Eight years a£o the missionaries were obliged to- leave their work in Chengtu because of the the students of the schools. They paraded crying “Drive out the “Kill the Christians.” uprising was soo.n quelled an'd they returned to their work. A year ago when Dr. Sherwood Eddy was in Chengtu, the students of those same schools .thronged the largest church to hear him and very many accept­ ed Christ. Many important positions are fill­ ed by graduates of the Mission schools, Miss Wellwood said, and many fields of usefulness open out to them.

Many are brought to1 Christ thro’ the hospital work. There was severe fighting in. the streets of Chengtu during the recent civil wars and bullets flew over the walls surrounding the mission build­ ings. Outside many were killed and wounded. The wounded women and children were taken into the wo­ men’s hospital while the soldiers were taken to the men’s buildings. Every pant was crowded to the lim­ it and the work was very hard. They had 12 'Chinese girls who had just come in as probationers. They were given a chance to go. home until the danger was over but one and said to. Miss Wellwood “when you go, we will go” she said it was sur- prising how they took hold and how much help they were. She told of a wonderful awaking which had come nurses and workers through the visit of ese converts whose fire with love for the Master. Many got a new Version of Christ and their lives since gave proof of the reality of their experience. ..Quarrels among themselves were made up and a better spirit prevailed. •Following this inspiring address two members of the Kippen Auxil­ iary sang a beautiful duet. Then came the report of the Missionary Monthly Secretary who reported an increase in subscribers. The pageant “Lydia, the Seller of Purple” by some of the C. G. I. T. of James 'Street Exeter came next and was enjoyed by all. The girls did it well and it carries the lesson “Carry the torch which will light all, the ages.” The Presbyterial Greer then spoke on “The New Africa.” it be really studied may forget what we read, but remember what we study. She said this book should be especially inter­ esting now' that the eyes of the world are upon Africa. Mrs. Cum­ mings of Walton, secretary of the Christian 'Stewardship and Finance Dept, then spoke. iShe asked her hearers to remember that Christian Stewardship is the base of every part of our work. It means the accept­ ance and recognition of God’s own­ ership of all we have and are, and our obligation to use it all for H'Is glory. Mrs. R. E. McKenzie, of Egmond­ ville speaking of Young Women’s work urged the forming of more ev­ ening Auxiliaries. Prayer by Rev.

He believes’ that it is just as well to keep to one of other of the old political roads that so far have enabled Canada to prosper. Political fanc­ ies and frills and furbelows, are all very -good 'for afternoon teas and to amuse good-natured people who .do not know what to do with their abundant leisure, but when it comes, to getting down to business the elector follows one or other of the trails that have led to stable conditions.

It Appears that a nation, founded 750 B.C. is making a contact with an alleged­ ly backward nation that has not one modern advantage where the attacking nation has 500. 'The party speaking was eager to learp what is going on in that far away land. At incredible risk ihe made his way to the seat of events where so much that is significant is transpiring. And what a stony he told us! The modern nation from its blue skies and its unsurpassed natural scenery, with its wealth of poetry and music and painting and sculpture, is raining bojnbs and shells upon a people who have but one wish to live lives that are simple, inoffensive to nyone and progressive, up to. the limit o,'fi their capacity to move forward. This is the way in which Italy is contacting'Ethiopia. This is Mussolini’s work. •Contrast this with the worlk: of Dr. Livingstone, a traveller in that same continent who proudly wore the insignia of a British of­ ficer. Instead of bombs and bullets ihe carried bandages for sores and^bnoken limbs and medicines for sick bodies. Instead of the roar of war planes there was heard the music of the Twenty-third Psalm, the story of the Good Shepherd and the awful majesty of The Lord’s Prayer. Mussolini vs. Livingstone!

Mackenzie King needs to step lively in a number of matters of the utmost seriousness. Even a few monhs of shortelghtedness and inaction may involve the Dominion in difficulties from which a century of sacrifice would not delver her. It is as true now as it was 2,000 year® ago, that no one knows what ah hour may bring forth. Golden Text Wine is a mocker, strong raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. (Prov. 20:1.) Daniel was a blue-blood, an aris­ tocrat, one of the intelligentsia, of the highest culture and scholarship. “To the manner born,” his educa­ tion had continued to an extraordin­ ary degree throughout his life, and he had lived among kings and princes in royal courts. Best of all, he knew God, and for years his spir­ itual life had been trained, had deep- ned and had grown by prayer fellow­ ship with God and by implicit, un­ varying and uncompromising obedi- dence to God’s will. There are men in all history worthy to counted David’s peer. Many years before the time of sensational incident of this Daniel had been brought, as a boy, across the desert of Judah to Babyl­ on. Nebuohadnezzer, perhaps, the mightiest monarch this world has ever’ known, was King of Bablyon then; and when he subjugated Ju­ dah and took Jerusalem he gave or­ der® that the finest young men of the children of Israel, “of the king’s seed, and o’f the princes; children in whom was no blemish, but well fa­ vored, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and under­ standing science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king’s palace,” should be carefully chosen and cared for as young princes, that they might be taught “the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans,” Daniel was one of these boys. We may think it no wonder that he “.made good” and rose to great prominence in the mighty Empire of Babylon. But there was a won­ der: living in the midst of luxury, pagan idolatry, voluptousness, morality of every sort and of most appealing sorts. Daniel swerved in his personal faith, iance, and obedience to God, his personal purity and strict in eating and drinking, so that spir­ it, mind and body were kept at their best through a long lifetime. And Daniel had come into great im- the never alleg- or in habits Dr. Wood’s NORWAY PINE SYRUP prominence, not merely because of his natural gifts and characteristics, but also because God gave him su­ pernatural revelations. As young man he buchadnezzar, a had given the forecast of the from Nebucadnezzar’s day down to time in which we live, and beyond. Many years had now passed, and a grandson of Nebuchadnezzar was reigning, Belshazzar. He was a ty­ pical king of his period?, worldling liberine, gourmand and drunkard, spending his royal riches in a prod­ igal way to satisfy his appetites and to enable .his courtiers to join in all this with him. He “made a great feast to a thou­ sand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.” In blasphem­ ous bravado he had the gold and silver vessel’s which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple in Jer­ usalem brought to this feast, so that “the king and his princes, his wives and his concubines, might drink therein.” We can*imagine the laugh­ ter, licentiousness, abandon of this affair as “They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of sil­ ver, of brass, of iron, of wood and of stone.” Then God struck. The blow fell. The fingers of a man’s hand- were seen writing strange, unintelligible words on the wall of the great ban­ queting hall, “and the king saw the .part of the hand that wrote.” It was like a bolt from heaven. “The king’s countenance was chang­ ed”; terror, seized him; and instead of the laughter and shouting and music there must have been a sud­ den and ominous silence as every mouth was stopped. Astrologers, Chaldeans, soothsay­ ers were sent for—the wisest of the wise men of Babylon. It was o’f no avail. The wise men were as helpless as the king to un­ derstand the writing. The queen had not been at this drunken feast, but now she came in­ to the king’s presence and told him of a man who had rendered price­ less service to Nebuchadnezzar by interpreting dreams that no others could understand. His name Daniel, she said, and he had been given the Babylonian Belteshazzar. “Now let Daniel called, and he will show the inter­ pretation.” Everyone waited while Daniel was sent for to make known the inter­ pretation. A fabulous reward was pledged to< Daniel. “Let thy gifts be give thy rewards to Daniel with austere will read the writing and make known to. him the inter­ pretation.” Daniel reminded the king of the might and power and glory of Ne­ buchadnezzar, whom God neverthe­ less had brought dtown into, humili­ ation and abasement until he was ^‘more like the beasts,” till finally “he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomso­ ever He will.” But Belshazzar, knowing all this, had not humbled his heart, had not recognized or worshipped God, but had “lifted up thyself against the Lord of Heaven.” He persisted in worshipping false gods, rejoicing and dishonoring God, and because of this he ’was doomed. Here was the writing: “Meno, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.” And the interpreptation: “God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it . . . Thou art weighed in the balances and art found want­ ing . . . T.hy kingdom ih divided, and given to the Medes and Per­ sians.” That very night Belshazzar was slain, and Darius the Mede took his throne. God does not always deal as sud­ denly and openly with those who re­ ject Him; but we know, from God’s revelation, that He must and will deal in judgment and destruction with those who incorrigibly and per­ sistently reject His mercy, His love and His grace.” was been name be to thyself, and another,” said dignity; “yet 1 unto the king, The Danger of Cough Concerning Children In young children a cough or cold is not a thing to be disregarded, ’“as it & often a grave matter, and unless attended to at once may cause serious trouble.
