It opened with the hyi^n ‘‘Take the Name of Jesus With Yo^” and Miss N. Keddy .read part of t^e 37th Psalm and a fey verse® from the 4th chapter of Phillipines, Mrs- Fred Sharp led in prayer. Mrs. Lay- ton gave an interesting talk about hei’ recent visit to the Southern U- S. She spoke particularly of the churches, describing among others the Mormon Tabernacle at Salt Lake City. This will seat 8,500 persons and has such wonderful acoustic properties that all can hear perfectly The organ there is- the largest in the world having 8,000 pipes. She told of one church that was round in shape. She described many inspir ing church services and fine adult classes which she had attended. All enjoyed Mrs. Layton’s talk. The minutes of the February meeting were adopted as read. The sick committee reported 26- calls, made sincex the last meeting. The president then took the chair.

Trivitt Memorial Ladies’ Auxiliary ‘The regular business and devo tional meeting of the Women’s'Aux iliary1 of Trivitt Memorial Church was held1 at the home of the Presi dent, Mrs. O. Winer on Tuesday ev ening. The meeting was opened by the president with a Lenten message followed by a.hymn and prayers. The roll call was. anwered with a Bible verse on Sacrifice after which Miss N. McTaggart gave a very appropri ate Lenten message. Minutes of the last meeting was. read and adopted The Treasurer’s, report of the pan cake Supper was very satisfactory. Rev.

Hymn 29*9 was sung and Rev. Mr. Hunt closed the meeting with the benediction. and he’s short on home runs.******* ON GUARD liberty—the- liberty of the press, of the pul pit, of free speech, the liberty of freely; selling and buying, the lib erty of worshipping at the altar of our Choice, the liberty of making our own mistakes.******** The St. Thomas Times-Journal has a fine picture of Mitch. Hep burn illustrating an early triumph of the Premier in the newspapei’ business. Always that thought that Tom Keith bad something to do with that bright young man’s sudden rise to ’prominence. T0111 knows. liow to raise ’em. • ■ ■< '******** EVER, FIGURE IT OUT It would be interesting:toi know what business has contributed towards business recovery. ' We could mention some firms that would have been better off financially had'they, early ih-the Great Depression, sold out and gone out of business altogether. Instead', these executives have; ca'j’rie$ qn, impelled by a sense of 'duty to, or of, good will to their employer^. They did not keep going'through the profit-motive urge, for profits were out of the question. Some will deny this but. the facts support what we say. Further, many firms have called upon their reserves so heavily that the reserves have all but vanished. 'Had it not been for the foresight of .'busi ness men who built up money reserves in the fat year® of business, hardship beyiondi all telling would have been the; lot- of millions of men and their families. If governments’ had heeded t,he cry “Soak the rich,’" suffering untold and confusion worse confounded would have been- the condition of the country this hour. Popular cries are poor affairs when it comes to directing business or governments.******** . THE HIGH COST OF( SPEED The following from the pen of Dr. James Black is worth think ing about as we are taking tflxe jacks from under the car: “I see in “The .Scotsman” of February 11 that my friend Henry Robb, the shipbuilder at Leith, has given an interesting lecture to the Leith Nautical ‘College. One part of the lecture, in which he dealt specially with ‘the cost of speed’ in ships, interests me very miuch. He is reported as saying that at relatively high speeds the increase in power must be very rapid, and therefore very costly. He instanced one of his own ships, a cross-Ghannel, 250 feet vessel. At eighteen knots the power required was 2,400, at nineteen knots it was 3,100, and at twenty knots 4,050. Thus, for two knots, the in crease in horsepower* was about seventy, per cent! In money value, the cost of machinery for eighteen'knots was about £17,000 and for twenty knots about £28,000 Dr. Blacki continues,— "And yet—thanks to Mr. Robb—when I think the whole mat ter out, I begin to see that his case is only an instance of a general law that runs strictly through all kinds of human endeavor. For instance, it is fairly easy for the average man to reach a decent level of proficiency in his own line or country, but I am certain that to become a ‘top-notcher’ in any bit of work or life, a man requires at least a seventy per cent, increase in diligence, concentration and mental application.” KEEPING ONE’S HEAD Not for many a day have international matter® been more puzzling than they are just now. Germany has openly repudiated the Locarno, pact and announces to the world that treaties or no treaties, agreements or no agreement®, she is .going to have her own way. Italian bombing planes are circling over Ethopia, destroying Red Gross'Hospital units, protests against suich action or no pro tests. Italy and 'Germany are telling the world that might makes right and are backing up their declarations by marching men, dead ly planes, poisoned gas and death-dealing ships at sea. Strikes that paralize the life of a great eity are commonplace. The United!'States has launched; on a business compaign of finance that has not the confidence of her sanest (business men in the vain hope that she can tax and borrow her way to prosperity, Great Britain is in the midst of of a|n unparalleled; campaign of re-arma ment. Every hour brings in its. tale of distress*. , So far all is dark1. But is there any light?. .Surely. The plain people are full of pluck and quiet industry They have hearts that feel fol other’s distress and),hands that for their relief liberties far bread. They- still believe in energy in intelligence rather than in brute force, flowery beds of ease are- the reward of the indolent, supremely, they believe that while a'l U not.'^-ell with God is in His heaven and much e’ncerned . with th* creatures. Under His care they are content to hope that in the end right makes* might. In they are spending and being spent, their faces light. * Main Street Mission Circle The monthly meeting of the Main St. Mission Circle met at the home of Miss Ina Jaques. The meeting was in. charge of Miss Ina Jaques. The meeting opened with singing ‘‘Near er my God to Thee1’ and “What a Friend We have in Jesus”. The Scrip ture lesson was taken by Mrs. R. Balkwil'l. Sentence Prayers were given by Hilda .Sims, Thelma Hock ey: and Ina Jaques. The business was then, taken by the president Miss Helen Diguan. Misses Hilda Sims and Helen Dignan gave a very pleas ing vocal, duet. Miss Flossie Hunt- ter of James St. gave a very inter esting talk -on social work. She told of some of her experience while at school at Toronto in cnne-ction with this work. The meeting was closed with singing the last hymn after which Mrs. George Layton led in prayer. A social hour was then en joyed by all. I .business TRANSIENTS DECREASE . .Stratford1—Stratford police .records reveal-that there has been a decided decrease this year in the number of transients applying for lodging as compared to a year ago. There have been 260 men lodged for the night this year, while at this time in 1935 the number stood at 556.
