Many of the old pu­ pils lovingly call it ny the popular name of /Cherry Grove School though it might well be designated “Mother of Teachers” quite a sprinkling of whom became professional men.

Allen, of the Thames Rd., and took her good watermelons and trampled the vines, It seems . too bad that when a person works hard all summer to have melons that they should have them stolen and des­ troyed in one night. There were seven in the gang and each one’s name is known most of them being children of prominent citizens of the Thames Road community. ■One Who Feels Sorry Main Steet W, M. S. The meeting was held in church parlors with eighteen mem­ bers present. The president took charge of the opening exercises, the first hymn being “Stand Up for Je- shs” and the Lord’s Prayer repeated in unison. The President then took charge cjf a questionaire and the business. Mrs. Cole presided over the devotional perloct. The Study Book was taken by Mrs. Cole and her committee, Mesdames Martin, Ryck- man and Jaques. A chorus given by six of the ladies was enjoyed by all. The October meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. A. Ryckman with Mrs. K. J. Sims in charge. James Street W. M. S. the worshipful.' The prayer period should also be pre-arranged, while spontaneous prayers were ol great value there were times when prepar­ ed prayers were needed to keep the line of thought on the program that is being given. Mrs. Page brought to us also, items of real interest from an address given by Dr. Brown, prin­ cipal of Victoria College, Toronto and who was a delegate to the two great Missionary Conferences at Ed­ inburgh, Scotland and Oxford, Eng­ land, who stated that one of the great weaknesses of the protestant Church today is denominationalism and a great hindrance to the missionary cause, There are 120 different de­ nominations, Unity must come hut it will be slow’. Also that the in­ creasing numbers of divorces are so weakening the home life, that one out of every six marriages in the United States is dissolved. We have not yet learned how to live together. Our greates duty is to educate our­ selves with all our luxuries we com­ plain. We should strive to recover some of the heroism and faith in God that our pioneers possessed, who, amid all their hardships never com­ plained.- Dr. Brown, definitely stat­ ed there is nothing wrong with our youths of today, because of their seeming lack of interest in the-church and so few of them to be found in our services, but the fault lies with the adults; who after forty years of age are not loyal to the church. Youth is quick to detect insincerity and youth also is very frank and will follow the beaten path of their parents, who should attend church with their families and re-establish the family pew. He urged that the adults seek the truth and know God, for their own sake, then share Him with others. The theme song of this gathering “We Would See Jesus” was well giv­ en by Mrs. T. Coates.

Perth Presbyterial as, at which Mrs. Kyle, Mrs. Page on October 4th and Misses Irene Sweet and Laurene' a.m. Beavers were delegates. Mrs. Kyle spoke of the wonderful atmosphere of this school in which delegates sat in study classes under’ leadership that filled each one with the great j desire to share with those at home,' the fine Christian teachings given by these splendid leaders. Miss Beavers then reported on the ad­ dress on “Christian Social Order,” given by Mrs. Hall, who stated that Canada is not a Christian country. There is not a Christian country in the world today. To be truly Christian there would be no unem­ ployment, no poverty, no problem of war or fear of losing jobs, but Christlike love one toward another would prevail. To be Christian we must live it out in our every-day actions, depending one on another. There was great need of continual forgiveness. If we stop loving and forgiving one another we cease to be Christians. Jesus taught brother­ hood, so, to the s sick we must give help; to the hungry, buy food. The spiritual side of our lives has been neglected. We should search our­ selves and come to definite decis­ ions, pray much about our work and our problems, always remembering that God is at the helm. Miss Sweet told us of the differ­ ent missionaries who spoke to the Young People's Groups; Miss Pearl Chiang, who lately graduated from Columbia University, will return soon to West China to open a nursery school and carry on Christian work in her own land.

Miss Sweet then outlined the new Study Book for the coming year. Mrs. Page then gave a most inter­ esting and instructive report of the classes on “Worship” conducted by Mrs. Turnbull, who is of our Missionary Monthly, Turnbull stressed the very importance of careful, thoughtful and prayerful preparation of the de­ votional periods of all our meetings, advising it was necessary to com­ mence these sessions with quiet mu­ sic, in Order that, our minds, that have been busy with the business period, be brought into the atmos­ phere of worship, the music should fit in with the worship and we must remember that all guua music can be KHIVA Otto Willert received a few very editor Mrs. great HORSES—1 bay ©Id, supposed to be mare, 5 years old, in foal; Percheron gelding, 3 years old; aged horse.
