The auditorium of the James St.
Methodist .church was;•lli Y'Sunday
evening for the .,veny excellent ser-
vice in which •members of the Taxis
Boys and Canadian Girls in `Train-
ing took part. The boys and girls
from these. two organizations occu-
pied the choir loft filling it to cap-
acity and furnishing some very fine
music. Four short sermons on Old
Testament characters were deliver-
ed. The scripture lesson was read
by Clarence Boyle. The first speak-
er was Miss Margaret Johns who
took for her subject the lives of
Ruth and Orpah. ' Melville Down
spoke on "Caleb;" Miss Ruby
Creech. on "Ester" and Leonard
Pfaff on "David." Each speaker
gave a clear outline of the outstand-
ing characteristics of these beauti-
ful characters and drew out some
useful and inspiring lessons. All
of them appeared' to be perfectly at
home on the platform, and deliver-
ed their messages in a very mast-
erly manner. Eight of the Taxis
Boys acted as' ushers and stewards
and very. ably carried out these
duties.
