Rev-[Board to raise funds by canvas, sub­ Mr. Mair of Thames Road presided scriptions, donation or other legiti- and gave the charge to the minis- mate means for War Charity pur- try, basing his remarks on the words from the Book of Revelation “Strengthen the things which re­ main.” He reminded the congrega­ tion and minister that while these days tried the best stuff that men are made of, there is no occasion for being downcast. Much remained, the word of God, the privileges of pray­ er with all its consolations and its perennial source of power. British­ ers were not downcast but had high­ ly resolved to struggle through to a successful issue. Britain’s ideals were as high as ever. It was, he pointed out the privilege and duty of the ministry to remind the people of these great unshaken things that remain. Rev. Mr. Falconbridge, of Cen­ tralia, gave the charge to the people, in which he spoke earnestly upon the duty of stewardship, He show­ ed, the duty of the minister to re­ gard himself as the steward of the word of God and to give leadership to the people by heartening them regarding the great and fine things offered in the Bible. It is equally the duty of the people to receive that teaching with faith and good will and to practice it in their lives. The Scripture lesson was read by Rev. Mr. Hunt, of Trivitt Memorial church. Rev. James Anthony led in the general prayer. After the induction service the ladies served a dainty lunch and a social hour was spent allowing the newly wife to their new Pew Americans Hear Over Fourth The 4th of July, American Inde­ pendence Day, was marked in On­ tario, sorts cars new entry many ada for fear they might have diffi­ culty in returning.

The Board will issue permits to per-* sons and organisations desiring to assist the fund, by means of special projects, and is also open to sub­ scriptions or donations for which of­ ficial receipts will be given by the treasurer, J.

The recently formed committee known as the Soldiers’ Welfare Com­ mittee has held two meetings and their work is well under way. It was reported that all soldiers from Exeter and vicinity (whose names, numbers and addresses had been re­ ceived) have been remembered with a sweater and a pair of socks and plans were made to send parcels containing miscellaneous articles of comforts to the six who are already overseas. This committee is anxious to complete the list of enlistments from this district and to receive the names, numbers and addresses of all newly enlisted men. These should be sent in detail with size of socks and sweater either to Mrs. R. N. Creech, who has been in charge of this work as head of another committee, or to Mrs. Ida M. Sand­ ers, the secretary of the Soldiers’ Welfare Committee. The committee, known as the Refugee Committee, or better the British Children Visitors’ Commttee has been organized with R. G. Sel­ don as chairman, Miss Amelia Ache­ son, Mrs. B. W. Southcott and S. B. bers, (others from district to be added presentations are committee repoi'ts quiries bave been received and sev­ eral parents have signified their de­ sire to help by receiving into their homes children from overseas. This committee is working iu conjunction with Mr. Harry Edwards, Superin­ tendent of the Children’s Aid Society Goderich, who will have the final say as to the placing of the children. If you are willing and able to ac­ cept one or two children please do not delay in giving in your, name to Mr. Seldon. In offering to accept British child­ ren into your homes for the duration of the war there are a few things to be kept in mind;-—the home if in the County of Huron, must be suit­ able to Mr. Edwards, Children’s Aid Superintendent, who will visit the home; there must be no thought of payment, or of exploiting the labor of the child: if a major illness or operation becomes necessary, we understand the government or some othei' authority will become respon­ sible for that cost; if the family finances should fail during tbe visit of the child, we believe special con­ sideration will be made. In the meantime forget any other rumors you may have heard until Mr. Ed­ wards ct\lls to see you. Because you offer your home for this pur­ pose, it does not necessarily follow • that you will receive a child, or child­ ren, but if you would like to assist in this work leave your name with IMr, Seldon. Mr. Edwards, of course, will not call until the list of homes has been submitted to him, and a ticket for the for 50c. The pur­ stamps will retain hope will purchase This means you help war. con- as it The inducted minister and his become acquainted with friends. BOWLING CLUB HONORS MR. AND MRS.
