WINGHAM, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15th, 1938Single Copies Five Cents Subscriptions $2r0Q Pep Year W. CT. U. The regular monthly meeting of of the local branch of the Women’s Chrstian Temperance Union was held in the United Church parlors on Thursday afternoon with vice-pres,, Mrs. Tiffin, in charge. The opening hymn was “All the way my Saviour leads me.” The Scripture reading, the 14th chapter of Romans, was ta­ ken by Mrs. Jno. Anderson and Miss Bolt led in prayer. The Clip Sheet was conducted by Mrs. Tiffin which was followed by an instrumental sel­ ection by Miss Tena Reid. Mrs. W. Field read an article on “The World’s Needs." We- hear of the value of culture and better under­ standing of the peoples of the na­ tions. Peace pilgrimages- are made and treaties signed, a new hope ap­ pears on the horizon. These are all good and desirable and yet the gap between the nations widens with the years. Again the nations have been thrilled at the thought’of disarma­ ment, surely the dawn of universal jSeace. Before the ink is dry, new suspicion is springing up. How pow­ erless are culture, better understand­ ing and disarmament to provide a remedy for peace. There is a rem­ edy, it is from the heart of the Eter­ nal. Here we are again at Christmas- tide, the festival of peace and good will. The promise of peace and good will is linked with Christ Jesus, Our Lord, and herein is the key to the mystery. Peace and good will by a Saviour. Christ changes men by re­ newing, them with His own life and in the changing of men is the secret of a changed world. Mrs. (Rev.) Anderson led in pray­ er and ,Mrs. Jno. Gamble read a poem “Mankind, the Children of God.” Misses Alice and Louise Dore sang “Away in a Manger’’-and the meeting closed with the repeating of the Lord’s Prayer in unison. Held Stag Euchre The Oddfellows rooms was the scene of a lively party on Friday ev-? ening when the members of the lodge staged a stag euchre. Ten tables en­ joyed the play. The winners were: 1st, D. B. Porter, 2nd, N. L. Fry. Truck Loads of Xmas Trees Trucks have been busy all month drawing Christmas trees from the north. Truck load after truck load .of these beautiful trees have passed through town during the past week. Saturday, however, was a big day in this respect as 8 large trucks loaded to capacity with trees passed through town. Conspire to Oust Prime Minister A charge a conspiracy had been in operation to force the retirement of Prime Minister Mackenzie King from the national leadership of the Liber­ al party was made by Hon. Norman Rogers, minister of labor, and Hon. C. D. Howe, minister of transport, at a mass meeting at Port Arthur on Saturday night. They charged that the “unnatural political alliance” of Premiers Hepburn, of • Ontario, and Duplessis, of Quebec, was planned to oust Mr. King from the leadership “with the evident purpose of setting up a government at Ottawa which would be largely controlled by the provincial governments * at Toronto and Quebec.” A PRESENTATION , On Friday representatives- of .the United Church'Choir called, on/ Mr. J. H. Christie, their • former leader,* and presented him with a very- fine house jacket. -The following address was read and accompanied the gift: Dear Mf'?'Christie': • • It was with sincere regret that we, your choir members, learned of your resignation as choir leader of our Church. We are deeply sorry that your severe illness made this neces­ sary. We always enjoyed the choir work under you?1 capable leadership. You were always patient and untiring in your efforts and we want you to know that We did appreciate the splehdid training we received. We. will imiss you in, our choir but will not soon forget the splendid times we had together. As a token of our esteem and re­ membrance; we ask you td accept this gift hoping you may find it useful during your convalescence.

Mrs. Hamilton, who told of the work of one Pioneer worker, Mrs. McCallum, whose memory is still held dear, and Mrs. Lloyd Hirjgston told of the pioneer missionaries John and William McDougall.

McLean and Evelyn Camp­ bell again favored us with a duet. Their selection, “My Song” was en­ joyed xby all. Mrs. Greer, in a few words, thank­ ed all the retiring officers for their assistance and co-operation during the past year, asking that the incom­ ing officers will, in like manner, still continue to co-operate with her. She said that in the work of our Society there was a two-fold object, the fin­ ancial and the social, and although the financial side was important, she urged that we develop the social side of our meetings, stretch out the friendly hand, "for the main object of our meetings is to “Spread the Glad Tidings.” “Go ahead, there is no standing still. Either we go forward or we go backward.” Mrs. Field, convenor of- the nom­ inating committee, read the slate of officers "elected and Mr. Anderson conducted a very impressive service of .dedication.-,. ...
