There was a large attendance at the Guild meeting on Sabbath evening, which shows the interest of the older people, as well as the young people, in the welfare of the Young People's So- ciety. This interest is an inspiration to the members as evidenced by the in- teresting meeting conducted under the leadership of Miss Greta Fox. A splen- did paper on the topic was read by the leader and the discussion was continued by the members in a number of bright helpful papers. Next Sabbath Miss E. Davidson will have charge of the meet- ing, the topic, " Our Laws Bearing on Morals." A large and enthusiastic audience as- sembled on 1 riday evening, March 5th to enjoy the splendid program given by the Literary Society. In spite of e inclement weather), Langside St. Helen's, leeordyce, Wingham and Lucknow were represented. The meeting opened with the singing of "The Maple Leaf." fol- lowed by the chairman's address. A very amusing recitation was given by Master Ernest Penrose and a few witty remarks by Rev. Mr. McIntosh of St. Helen's followed, An instrumental duet by Miss Marjorie Gordon and Rev. J. Ure Stewart delighted everyone and a recitation by Mr. Elliott Miller was listened to with great pleasure. A sel- ection by the mixed quartette was very much enjoyed also a solo by Mr. John Eglestone The "Echo" was read by its editor, Mr. J. F. Cook. A recita- tion by Mr. James Penrose greatly pleased the audience also a dialogue "Going to a new home" given by six young people. The debate arranged be tween St. Helen's and Whitechurch was the :most prominent feature of the pro- gram. The subject was Resolved: "That strong drink has wrought more harm in the world than War." St. Helen's upheld the affirmative led by Mr. Elliott Miller supported by Mr. D. Phillips and Mr. W. Rutherford; Whitechurch upheld the negative, led by Mr. T. H. Moore, supported by Mr. Jas. Martin and Dr. White. Rev. Mr. McIntosh of St. Helen's,'Dr. Jamieson, of Whitechurch and Mr. John Murray of Langside were the judges. While the judges were arriving at their decis- ion. the program was continued by violin and mouth -organ selections by Mr. R. Ross, Mr. C. Middleton, and Mr. A. E. Pardon with piano accom- paniment by Mrs. W. J. Dawson and Miss M. Gordon; a recitation by Mr. E. Miller, a reading by Miss 0. Mc- Clenaghan and a short speech by Mr. Woods, President of St. Helen's Liter- ary Society, in which he expressed his pleasure in being present. All were listened to with great interest and most heartily applauded. A special feature of the evening was the debut of the Whitechurch colored minstrelsy, to piano accompaniment by Rev. 3, Ure. Stewart, they rendered, "Masssa's in de Cold, Cold Ground," which was so heartily received that they were forced to respond to the prolonged applause. The judges' decision, which was in fav- or of Whitechurch, was given by Rev. Mr. McIntosh. In a few closing re- marks, Rev. Mr. Stewart expressed the hope that a series of friendly de- bates among neighboring societies might be arranged. The singing of the National Anthem brought to a fitting close a most enjoyable evening's enter- tainment. The closing meeting will be held on March 19. A number of White- church people intend paying St. Helen's Literary Society a visit on Friday eve- ning of this week when the subject, "Resolved that Education has had more Influence in the world than Wealth" will be debated between the two soci- eties.
