H. James; B,D„ iiirton, the guest clergyman for the special services' morning and evening. At the morning service he chose for his, text the 45 verse of the 5th chapter of Mathew, "for he marketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and aendeth rain on the just and, on the unjust," He spoke of God as the Wonderful Giver, not only in the harvest and other material things but in the greatest gift of all, his Beloved Son and asked all to remember that Yee de not live by bread alone, In the evening Mr. James preached an elo- tient sermon on the words "For we are labourers with God," taken from 1st Cor, 3-9. His 5etmron was based on four kinds of people 10 the world, those who for the harvest thank, first neither God nor man; second man and mea God third God and not man; and fourth, both God and man, Those In the first group are the selfish: onus wen take all credit for themselves, the self-made man who thinks he can get along only by life own efforts without God and his fellowmen. The second group I give all credit to man and leave God entirely out of their lives. God can not be left out, things' without God collapse as did the ancient civiliza- tions such as the. Grecian and Ro- man Empires. The world to -day needs God as badly as ever did the ancient world, The third graup thanks God alone and omit their fellowmen, They are like the Pharisees of old who made a great outward show of their religion and like those who passed by on the other side, fail to show compassion and consideration to those around them that is not what God wants, Jesus said "Whatsoever ye do unto the least of tbese, my children, ye did it unto me, The last group are true Cthristians who thank both God and their fellowmen. We cannot live without either God or our fellowmmen. Large congregations attended both the morning and evening ser- vices, Rev, J. Graham, rector of the church expressed thanks for the withdrawal of both the Presbyter- ian and United church evening ser vices for the occasion, Rev, S. Kerr of Melville church was present in the chancel and assisted in. the ser- vice. Ret'. H, J. Mahoney of the t'ni.ed church was unable to attend, Rev, J. Graham Wag himself able to be present and conduct the evening service.: Special music by the choir includ- ed the anthem "We shall dwell in the Lanai" by Maunder and "015 L^rd How manifold are thy works" by Barnby, solo parts taken by Miss A, eleelurray and J. Smith, The church, as is usual, was beautifully decorattcl with grain. fruit and flowers.

(Owen Sound Sun-Tiniest- A. un-Times A beautHarl last-minute. goal ,which capped with success, a deter- mined etermined drive, that had lasted for a greater part of the eecond ball of the game gave Owen Sound Soccer Club a 2 -1 -victory over Brussels here on :Saturday in the first game of the W.F-A, intermediate finals. Owen Sound Thad opened the scor- ing early in the game, only to have Brussels &'core the tying counter shortly after the second 'half got underway. From then on the' locale attacued deeparately, but it was mot until the final seconds of play that Jack McLean got his head to a centre from 'Shell, just after a throw4n and deflected the ball past Riley in the Brussels net. The first half produced ragged football for the small crowd of fans that gathered at Viotoria Park here to witness the game, Both teams were away below form and the ball was kicked back and forth almost at random, with neither club dis- flaying much combination, At this style of play Brussels produced an ace in their giant lefit back, Nichol, who sent the ball booming well past centre field on every goal kick. It was Nichol, however, who set the stage for tine first goal. En deavoring to meet a long drive in midair, he tnisoued and the ball went baok towards his own goal. Johnny McKay, who dyad been pressed into service at right out- side when Arndt failed to show up at the start of the game, came tear- ing in to meet the ball just as it looked as if it would roll over the line for a corner. His' drive gave Riley no chane to save as he rat- tled the ball into the net from a dif- ficult angle. There was no further scoring in the first half, but in the second half Brussels tied the game after a fear' mientes of play. The game had livened up and both clubs' were playing better football, with Brus- sels enjoying a slight edge. -They' were finally rewarded for their ef- forts When, after a lengthy duel down in Owen Sound territory, Miller, their outside left, came into grab the ball and rifle it past Wright for the equalizer Needing a lead to take to Brussels' the home club moved up on the of- fensive and started to work in around the Brussels goal, The locals had several dangerous scoring chances. Jael: Gibb had one good opportunity when McLean and Llold Gibson combined to put him (Continued on Page 4.) I. 0. O. F.
