UNION ,CHURCH PARADE
- ON ,SUNDAY EVENING
Headed' by the Blue Mater hraea
bald, eighty members of the A.F. of L,
lOcel animas paraded , Sunday even-
ing to .Knox Preabyterian church,
where the centre blockof pews had
been reserved for them. Members 'of
the regular congregation also were
present, in large numbers.
° Rev. Riehard Stewart, who - cola -
ducted the service, welconsed the union
mesa and congratulated the baud on
the eervice 4twas- rendering in the
community. His ' text was irona
Hebrews- 10:86—"Ye have need of
patience."
Every ixastn, said the preacher, is
a mystery to his fellows. Even though
we may be in touch More or less
intimately with one anotherewe do not
;Tally' know the inmost thoughts and
motives of those about us ' It is easy
to misunderstand and misjudge those
whom. we thus imperfectly know, and
we should hesitate to form judgments
regaediag -them. .We should have pa-
tience particularly with child.ren and
young people. ' Youth cannot see thing&
as their elders with more experience
do. and due allowance should -be made.
We should have patience with estab-
liMedassadnerglitilinkr- ;Iire::•,'11601,14Pr the
church, the state, and should realize
or own responsibility in making them
what they should be. We should be
patient with God. We are too easily
discouraged when our prayers do not
receive the response we expect. We
are impatient, with Ithe turmoil in the
world which has followed the pro-
claiming of peace.

There were large citmgregations at
Nprth street United church on Sunday,
whea anniversary eervices were held
and Ole visiting preacher was Rev.
Duncan McTavish of Loudon, Presi,
dent of the London Conference of the
United Church of Canada.
At the morning service Miss Joyce
Hunter and Miet3 Marie Herbert, gold
medallists, of Stratford, sang two
heautifel duets, "Be Thou. Exalted,
LOrd,” and "Tench Me to Pray." The
anthem "0 Worship the King" was
rendered by, the' choir, the solo part
being taken by Mr. W. C. Attridge.
Mrs. Murray Hetherington, organist
and choir leader, wa's at the organ, and
Mrs. J. A. Snider at the piano.
Rev. R. H. Turnbull. minister of the
church, conducted the service, and a
thought-provoking serm n was de-
livered by Rev. Mr. MlcTavish, who
took for his text the words, "Anti yhen
these- things begin to come to ass,
then look up, and lift- up your heads;
for your redemption draweth nigh."
(Luke 21:28).
"Where does God come in in this
awiftlyssesseannedniesatlfsen44-.C.r.?k
times? God is- nioNing thrtazgletli-e
horrors of these days to fulfill His pur-
poses. Is the world coming to a
decadent finish? No. These are the
birth pangs of a better world," de-
clared the speaker, who went on to
say that the world cannot be bound
together by force, but that it is being
drawn together, and the bonds are
,not Might, but Right. Christ, who
washed the feet of His disciples, was
the .first to teach that th-e- way to
win the world is by service. God
-comes in wlien some other things go
out, and these Shaotie days may, in-
dicate that the devils of this world
are moving out. We-'ve had enough of
the "glory" of war; we need now the
