CHURCH FILLED FOR FLOWER SERVICE Dr, Struthers Was Guest Speaker Sunday, June 10th, was Sunday School Anniversary and Flower Sun­ day in Wingham United Church with large congregations attending both services. The general theme was “Missions” and a large blue and gold motto “The World for Christ” was stretched across the front of the church. The special speaker was Dr, Gordon Struthers, of Honan, China, Mrs. Struthers,- formerly Miss Edna Cooper, who at one time taught in Wingham High School, also spoke a few words of' greeting. In keeping with the theme, the whole front of the church was made to represent a Chinese garden against a background of cherry blossoms. In the centre of the garden was a lily pool spanned by a Chinese bridge. On either side were replicas of a Chinese Church and a Chinese home, which were brought from China by Dr. Struthers. When the children of the Sunday School brought their flowers and they were placed in the garden, the effect was very beautiful. Under the gallery were baskets of flowers and cages of singing birds. A Sunday School choir of 55 voices led the music and supplied two special numbers. Miss Betty Cole, of Lon­ don, who was gold medalist at Tor­ onto Exhibition last year, was guest soloist and her solos both morning and evening were much appreciated. Mr. F. R. Howson, S. S. Supt., took charge of the morning service. Dur­ ing the floral procession, Misses Alice and Louise Dore, Evelyn Campbell and Jean Breen sang “That Sweet Story of Old.” A welcome song was given by the beginners and primary classes, after which Ruth Burgman re­ cited the prayer. Then followed a short program: recitation “Little Folks Too” by Floyd Jenkins; duet, “Who Taught You" by Marion Irwin and Maxine Cowan; recitation “For­ get Me Not” by Sally Lou McWil­ liams; song “Even Little Children” by Muriel Williams’ class; song “The Books of the Bible’\by Marjorie And­ erson; song “God’s Family” by Billy Orvis, Bobby Finlay, Jimmy Hall and Kenneth Hingston. Dr. Struthers’ talk was for the children telling them about the little folks in China, chiefly in the hopital of which he has charge. The service was closed by the, elixir singing “Bless Us As We GoA The evening service was taken by the young people of the Church. The newly organized young people’s choir led the music and the choruses, the male quartette and the solo by Mr. Jack Reavie, contributed greatly to the beauty of the service. Dr. Struthers gave an illustrated talk, showing pictures of China and telling of the work under four head­ ings, agriculture, education, medical and evangelistic. The service closed with the grand old hymn “Unto the hills.” Men’s White Oxfords—The finest display we’ve ever shown—$2.98 $3.50 to 5.00, Greer’s Shoe Store. >------------------ « Engagement Announced (Mr. and Mrs. George Thompson, Mitchell, announce the engagement of their daughter, Vera May, to Mr. Robert Gordon Hastie, Wingham, son Of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

Rutherford, Owen Sound, president of the provincial association; Inspec­ tor Beacom, of West Huron; Inspec­ tor Nelson, Perth; Inspector J, M. Game, Walkerton, and W. J. Hender­ son, Wingham. Mr. Mustard, who has been largely responsible for the new courses of study in the elementary schools, re­ futed the adverse criticism heard about the new courses. He said that children did mot do as they please, although teachers are giving freedom in planning the work of the classes. He said criticism the work Was too easy was an error and that what has been accomplished since the courses were introduced speaks wonders for teachers and inspectors. Mr. Mustard reviewed the seven headings under which the new program is arranged. Mr. Rutherford urged that voca­ tional training receive much consid­ eration for the 90 per cent, of pupils who never enter university. Inspec­ tor Beacom dealt with the changes in grants for the present year. Inspector Nelson said he was pleased with the progress in music teaching in Huron- County, and also the liberality with which trustees provided books for the schools to permit the new courses be­ ing carried out.
