The children of the Sunday School led the way in their Festival on Thursday evening last. The Town Hall was fill­ ed to its capacity with parents and friends who thoroughly enjoyed the entertainment prepared by the young­ sters. The Rector presided during the proceedings and an excellent pro­ gram was rendered by the members of the Sunday School. All the items were good, but, the “Little German Band” by 12 boys, the girls drill en­ titled “Canada and Christmas" and the Pantomime “One Sweetly Solemn Thought” were the most popular num­ bers. At the close of the program ‘ Santa Ulaus” was announced, who, after giving greetings to the little folk asked that the presents on the tree should, be given to the children. The stripping of the Christmas tree was the event f the evening to most of the young folk' present, and all went home happy in the possession of some little gut, a bag of candy arid.orange. The success of the Sunday School en­ tertainment was due in no small measure to the hard working teachers and helpers who spared neither time nor energy to make this year’s Fest­ ival i the best in the history .of St. Paul’s Church. During the evening Mrs, McLeod, the teacher of the Bible Class, was made the. recipient of a ■piece of cut glass as a slight token of loving respect from the members of the Ladies’ Bible^Olass and Young Ladies Guild, The following address accompanied the gift:— Dear Mrs, McLeod, We, thfe members of vour Bible Class and Yoiing Ladies’ Guild; de­ sire to express our heartfelt apprecia­ tion of your devoted and painstaking work in connection with St. Paul’s Church. You have beeri.ot great help to us as our leader in the work of the” Guild and Bible ClasUmd we are hot unmindful, of the time and thought and energy, as well as prayer, yop. haye given on our behalf.

The pur­ pose of the meeting was to revive and reorganize the Huron Medical Associ­ ation, This Association has been in, existence for more than forty years, and it' has proved of great value to the medical profession of the county in a scientific way. • It is expected that under the mew yeguiations’ a greater interest than ever will be tak­ en in the discussion of subjects per­ taining to the healing art<- At the meeting by laws- were discus­ sed and adopted and the officers for the ensuing year appointed. The meetings of the Association .will be held every three months at Wingham Goderich, Clinton and Seaforth alter­ nately. Medical men from the- ad­ jacent counties and eligible for mem­ bership. Arrangements were made for the next meeting to be held in Wingham in March next. The transactions _ob the Clinton’ meeting' included the -consideration and adoption of, a schedule, of-fees. The tariff-of fees for the County of Huron has remained the same for many years, although it has gone up- in everj' other port .of the province. It was noted- that drugs and every-. .thing connected-with a doctor’s living has nearly doubled of late. .If he em­ ploys any kind- of labor, or has any mechanical .wonk done" he paysnearly doiiblo the price ho once did. It was th'evefneo considorod absolutely neces­ sary, that in order to bn ab e to live and. pay his debts, that the schedule of fees bo made to conform somewhat^ with that of the other parts of the province.
