E, Don- = 'nelly, The program was of- the highest order: Too much praise C cannotbe-given the artists who thrilled the audience time after time; They were repeatedly encored artd they responded tothe applause of the audience in a very gracious manner, 'There was . not a weak number on the whole program and . r everyone was more than delighted with ,the rare musical treat.

The Main St. United church. withdrew "their morning ser- vice and: united with the congrega- tion and in the evening Trivitt . Mem- orial church was closed. A beauti- ful array, of,flowers .were banked in front of the. pulpit: The choir: -ren- dered some very excellent music and were ably, assisted' by Miss M. Forbes of London, whosesolo work delight- ed the audience. The preacher for the occasfon,was Rev. A. Macfarlane of Clinton,? who delivered two splen- did sermons',for. the 'occasion: His text at the evening service was" "I have put off :coat, how can I put it min', The; ieme was that Hien Wild- work as strenuously h. serviceof God as' they do in the service'bf men. The need to -day is the quickening of the souls of men toward ,high ideals. Splendid ma- chinery may be set up in the church and a fine program mapped out, but these are not enough. The dis- ciples . of old were feeble instru- ments, -without influence, resources, S or a church in whichto preach. Their only possession was a flam- ing, vital message from a risen' Lord. Paul's secret was "Whatever. thy hand find to do, do it with all thy might." We possess . priceless. : priv — ileges because men took off their coats, defied prisons and state laws and stood by their conscience. Such men as Martin Luther, John Wesley Whitfield, Wilberforce and Living- stone. Those who have moved the world have attempted great things for God and expected great things of God/ The : worst enemyof the gospel today is : inconsistent lives. If we valued the service of the sanc- tuary we would be found in our places in church. The word Chris- tian is synonymous with service. The mission God has given tothe church has not been fulfilled. Great things should be attempted in the name of the Lord.

CO1VI14aUNICATION Dear Polly: Since writing you last I have been looking up a few statistics to send you regarding the prevalence of bovine tuberculosis and the possib- ility of transmitting the same to human' beings. u• TubercuIosos exists in all civilized ,countries. In the human race about 15 per cent. of all deaths are due to this disease. It is: widely pre- valent 'among cattle, hogs and fowl. Of these three we are 'mainly in- terested in the form found in cattle on account of the fact that milk forms the staple food of infants, young children and invalids, and it has been definitely proven that bovine tuberculosis is transmissible to the human through the milk. It is believed that 10 per cent. , et deaths from' tuberculosis in child- ren are due to bacilli of bovine ori- gin. Now. Polly dear, 1 am .absolutely certain whenfacts like these are caned to the attention of the people of your town soinething can be done to male the testing f a es g o it coins for tuberculosis a.h established fact.
