Dr. J. R. Mutchmor, of Toronto, as speaker. Dr. Mutchmor is the secretary of Evangelism and Social Service of the United Church of Canada. Chal­ lenging and inspirational messages were , given.

The greatest advances in the history of the race have been made, not in the periods of ease and pros­ perity, but in times of difficulty hnd adversity. The speaker paid tri­ bute to that rare quality of endur­ ance and -patience in the British people which 'enables an English­ man to “stay put”. But this there must come t despair.
