Mrs. Walk­ er told of the progress of education, Mrs. Campbell of the mediqal prog­ ress, where there were only three doctors for that vast territory out­ side the Medical Missionary services.

Two other ladies'told then of the widening and deepening of the chan­ nel, Mrs. VanWyck spoke of Rural Reconstruction and .Mrs. Dark of Chinese Leadership in the Church in Honan. Mrs. Anderson led in pray­ er.

Gal- The dedication prayer for our offering was made by Mrs. Odd Potato . Mr. Oliver Ludwig dug up a very odd potato in his garden on Monday.

CONVENTION WAS HffLD HERE Enthusiastic Meeting of Sunday Schoof Teachers and Officers of Maitland Presbytery Held in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church call each Sunday td; report on the plan for increase This plan includes The annual convention of the Tea­ chers and Officers of hte Sunday Schools of Maitland Presbytery was held in St, Andrew’s Church, here, on Thursday. The opening devotional exercises were conducted by Rev. Mr. McConnell in the absence of Rev. Reynolds Esler, of Ashfield and Rip­ ley. After the roll School was asked "Ten One Three” in S. S. efficiency, a 10% increase in attendance and one new project undertaken each year for three years. Mrs. Philip Stewart, of Lucknow, sang a solo “Leave it with Him". An address was given by Miss Margaret Mitchell, ofjMolesworth, on the subject “Primary Work in the Rural Sabbath School?’ She stated it was not so much mechanics as dy­ namics that was need in S. S. work today. ‘ She referred to the Seed, the Sower and the Soil, but dwelt large­ ly upon the Soil, this being the child­ ren of the school, their physical, mental and spiritual -development at various ages. She urged evangelism for even the very young and gave ex­ amples of Bible stories adapted to various ages. In middle childhood there was intense activity, physical and mental. In later childhood, we have the age of Hero Worship. She said the S. S. teacher should be a good story teller but the most im­ portant was that the teacher should be a devout Christian. In the absence of Dr. Kannawin, Rev. J. R. Greig, of Bluevale, con­ ducted in a very helpful manner the “Round Table Conference” and brought out a good discussion on at­ tendance at S.S. of today. The Convention decided to send to Dr. Kannawin a message of sympa­ thy in his illness and1 the expression of hope for his early recovery. The Ladies’ Aid of St. Andrew’s served a dainty lunch at 6 o’clock. At 7.30 p.m. the evening session opened with a song service led by Rec. J. R. Greig and devotions by Rev. K. MacLean. The Rev. Samuel Kerr, of Brussels, then gave an address on The Young People and the S. S. He advocated bettei' preparation on the part of the teacher and stated that some give as their reason for non-attendance that there were so few in the class, no fel­ lowship, others stated they did not learn anything when they did come. Mr, Kerr dwelt seriously with the re­ quirements necessary for church membership. The Church is the Body of Christ and the Bride of the Lamb and membership in it is a very sac­ red' thing. Rev. Mr. Kelly, of Listowel, gave an address on “The Teacher and the Child”. He showed that it wa's often the habits of the parents that pre­ vented or discouraged S. S. attend­ ance. The boy sees Dad without re­ ligion or anything mystical or poet­ ical in his life and he is going to be like Dad. As the convention closed all pres­ ent felt that it was a very helpful one, The Rev. A. Leggett, of Moles- worth, who is chairman of the Pres­ bytery’s Y. P. Committee, presided over all the meetings.

In the legislative session the first after his coming to power, Mr. Hepburn introduced and had . passed several amendments to the Liquor Control Act. One of these re­ pealed the section as quoted above and substituted the following: “No­ thing contained in this construed as interfering eration of the Canada Act applicable to any tario, and no government store shall be established and beer and wine shall not be sold under the provisions of this Act and the regulations in any municipality in which the Can­ ada Temperance Act has been brought into force and is still in force." This legislation Mr. Hepburn had placed on the statute books notwith­ standing the fact that he had at that time invaded the counties of Huron and Perth, and in part Peel, with beef authorities. It seems clear that Mr. Hepburn at this stage sought to get by with his private interpretation of’the technical words “and is still in force”. The question of the de­ cision of wish of the people seems not to have entered his tnind. In the following year, to straight* en his position and avoid the accusa­ tion of violating his own Act, he re­ pealed this Section (Section 68) en­ tirely, The new Section 68 is one that reqtxrics brewers to use properly embossed corks in marketing their products. The change is possibly suggestive of the government’s idea, of social reform.-Advt. t
