"The Higher and Lower Interpre- tation of Life" was the pastor's sub- ject in Melville Presbyterian church last Sabbath morning. The thought was based on John 12. 28, 29: "The People therefore, that stood by and heard it, said that it thundered: oth- ers said an angel spoke to him." Men have listened to the voice of God in all ages and to some it has had no meaning, while to others it has been the voice of God. To -day, as men listen to the voice of God speaking to them through Nature and through other people, to some it is only a noise, While to others it is the- voice of God. The scientist -tries to ex- plain everything by natural law, and fails to realize that behind every- thing there is great, wise and lov- ing Intelligence over ruling all that happens. The man who listens to the voice of God gets More Out of life than the man who takes the low View of life. The reason why some do not hear the voice of God is because their minds ere not 01 unison with God. At the evening service Dr. Oaten spoke from Rev. 21:14 "For the for- mer things are passed away" on the Temperance question. The speaker branded the drinking of alcoholic liquors as the thing which must be done away with before we have an ideal state al society. Conditions have greatly -improved under the 0. T, A. but much remained to be done. The licensing of breweries and dis- tilleries by the Dominion Government is responsible for much of the drink- ing in Ontario to -day. Liquor that is billed for export is brought back into the Province ,and sold by boot- leggere.

While regretting to lose you from our midst we can only wish you success in your new, venture and as many friends in your new sur- roundings as you have made here.
