the Mt. Pleasant United Church
on Wednesday evening, October
26. The room was profusely
decorated with / dahlias, zinnias
and other flowers from the gar-
•den of Mrs. Arthur Cole.
An interesting .programme was
provided. A, short sing-song led
by Mrs. Fredd Switzer was en
joyed by all. Mrs. Sheldon .Wein,
of Exeter, ' exhibited interesting
moving pictures of birds, par
ticularly of wild geese in flight

Discuss Sunday
School Teaching
“I find .that the cream of the
people-are-doing children’s work”
said Miss Helen Anthony of Tor
onto to a group of children’s
Sunday School teachers gathered
at Main St. Uuited Church on
Friday afternoon last.
Miss Anthony is children’s
work Secretary of the Ontario
Council of Christian Education.
She said “I travel all over, meet
ing groups like you. Sometimes
I stay a week or longer at one
place to conduct a leader’s train
ing group”. She pointed out that
some of the qualities of a good
children’s teacher are: \
(1) A teacher must be a per
son who has had a real Christian
experience and has a desire to
share it.
(2) A teacher must have
crowning personality—must
still willing to learn.
(.3) A teacher must love
or her work. “God so loved I
world that he gave his only
gotten son.” A teacher so loves
that he wants to give and share.
(4) A teacher must master
the technique of teaching—must
be ready to .be forgotten as a
person—must remember that the
children are learning other
things front him or her, such as
neatness, punctuality, worship
ful attitudes.
(5) A teacher must know
each individual pupil very well
—get acquainted by means of a
questlonaire—-by means of visit
ing in the home—in his school.
In planning, the teacher of the
lesson must think of Mary or
John or Bill and adopt the les
son to interest them.
Some af the basic^tools of a
teacher are: An attractive class
room space *—• not necessarily
elaborate but al least clean;
scrap books of stories, of pray
ers, of hymns and of handwork.
“Remember*', said -Miss An
thony” that the Sunday Schools
of today are the church of to
morrow,” She had a display of
helpful books and invited a dis
cussion of any problems anyone
had to bring before the group.
Everyone present felt that Miss
Anthony’s talk had been very
helpful and inspiring.
Mrs. K. Wood, of Grand Bend,
convened the rally and led in an
impressive worship service with
the theme “Beginning With Me”.
The ladies of Main St. very
graciously Served a cup of tea
and the discussion continued
over the tea cups.
Representatives were present
from Grand Bend, Greenway,
Lucan, Coven Presbyterian, Main
St, and James St. Churches.

a rich
quality
address
a well-
known horticulturist of London.
He was introduced by Dr. C. A.
Campbell. Mr. Burston had many
things to say of interest to the
amateur flower grower and gar
dener. One was that mice may
be eliminated from the garden
by scattering pieces of turnip or
potatoes, dusted with zinc phos
phide in places known to be in
fested or in the runs of the mice.
He stated that African Violets
may be kept’ in an east window
during the winter months. The
sun at this time of the yeai' is
not sufficiently strong to injure
the foliage, and the increased
light promites growth and flow
ering. They should be watered
in the morning with water at
room temperature or a little
warmer, but never with water at
a colder temperature than the
room.
Concerning the planting of
tulips for forcing, he said that
one-half to one-third of the bulb'
should remain above the soil.
Place1 the soil lightly in pots
and press the bulbs into the soil
and press the earth around them.
The flat side of the bulb should
be next the rim of the pot. Pot
by the end of October, water
well and put the pots in a dark
cold place, not freezing temper
ature. Bring into a warm room
in February until the flowhr
bud shows and then keep in a
cool bright window until , the
flowers begin to show colour.
When one wished geraniums
for winter flowering, he suggest
ed that slips be planted in five
inch pots in May a^id the earth
packed down hard—avoid fertil
izer. The pots should then be
set in the ground in the garden.
Rempye the first blooms—bring
the plants into the house in the
fall.
Many questions relative to the
gv owing of plants and bulbs
were answered. Mrs. Arthur Cole
thanked Mr. Burston for his ex
cellent address.
The Society disposed of its
surplus stock of valuable bulbs
by auction and many bargains
were obtained.
An extra premium of six tulips
was given each member of the
Society.
The Society Secretary reported
130 members. There is every
evfdenee of exceptional activity
along the Hortctultural lines.
An excellent pot luck lunch
was served by the ladies of Mt.
Pleasant district. A collection
was taken for- the flower fund
of the Cliurch. '
The annual dinner of the di
rectors will be held the first
week in December.
Among the relatives .who at
tended the funeral of the late
Provincial Constable’John Fergu
son were Mrs. Lenora Defoley,
a niece, from New' York; 'Mr,
