Pidgeon, Moderator, S In Letter To Ministers and Con- gregations Referring to the past year in the United Church as a year of great blessing Rev. George C. Pidgeon, D. D., moderator of the General Coun- cil, has issued an appeal to all mein- bers to observe Sunday, Tune 6, as a special day of Thanksgiving. It was on June 10 of last year that church union was consummated in the Dominion and the church, in its initial year, has met outstanding suc- cess in almost every department. It is pointed out that during the year the church has been gradually consolidating its various activs and some idea of the extent and var- iety of the work can now be given. Reports show the membership to be 700.000; church ministers to upward of 2,000,000 people; more than 125,- 000 teachers, officers, leaders and workers giving voluntary service hi Sunday school and young people's work; 500,000 young people enrolled in the earller and later adoleseent groups of the church; 045 mission- aries in 10 foreign fields, 191,000 women and girls enrolled under the Vv omen's Missionary Society, and 8,700 congregations, separate wor- shipping unite. Letter to Ministers Dr. Pidgeon, in a letter to the ministers and congregations, writes tbe following. "The 1.0th of June, 1925, will stand as a never -to -be -forgotten day in the minds and hearts of the Unit- ed Church of Canada. Every part of the United Citureh has had reason to rejoice at the manifest goodness of Almighty God during the year that has passed since the consumma- tion of union.

"The enlarged fellowship within tho church, the strengthening of the good -will and mutual understanding with which the churches entered up- on their adventure of faith, the dis- arming of criticism, the spirit of helpfulness and willingness among all our people, have already perman- ently enriched the United Church. Let us thank God. "The widening vision of the church's work at home and abroad, the new opportunities for Service and intercession, in a church upon whose active ministry for the Kingdom of God the sun never sets, have given our people cense for gladness end gratitude. Let us thank God for the spirit of the United Church. Fund Success - "As another evidence of the spir- it of the new day, there is special reason for thanksgiving in the re- sponse to the appeal to the mainten- ance and extension fund. To main- tain the whole work at the chureh, at home and abroad Sri the first year of her life, called for generous and sacrificial giving by all her people. Four million dollars was required. The church has received io cash, di- rectly from the people, more than 83,750,000. With sums available from other sources the objective set by the general couneil will actually be exeeeded. It is a magnificient achievement, Unparalleled in church history. It has been possible only be- cause of the loyalty, the eacrifice and the heroic spirit of the United Church. Let us thank God. "The church enters upon her sec- ond year with natural anxieties, but with high hopes. There are no in- superable difficulties and nc insur- mountable barriers, provieled all her people rise to their privileges and accept their respondihilities in the ministry of intereceesion. The ex- perience of the past year has taught the United Church that the grace of God is sufficient for these thing's. Let us pray God that the whole church may realize that every mani- festation of Divine power is in the pathway of intercession of the true followers of Christ "Let all congregations, OfficL? bear- ers, workers, and ministers, there- fore, in the hour of rejoicing, unite in concerted prayer for God's guid- ance in the second general eouncil, and that He may work the fulfill- ment of His purpose in us and through us during the coming year. • GOOD FOR LUNCHEON Sandwiches filled with tuna (IA or salmon mixed with celery and mayonintiee dressing are highly nu. tritive and very delicioue.

The potter's art is one of the old- est known to netilltind, Tle. primi- tive races, whether of remote ages or of to -day, took of /114`t rFitY stieti clay as they found near the surface of the ground, tv hy some' river -bed, and with the rudimentary prepara- tion of spreading it out on a stone slab, and if 11PC('01.1/117, picking out any rocky fragments, then beating it with the halide, with apnea or beanie, or treading it with the feet to render h fairly uniform in con- eistency, proemeled to fitehion it into such shapes a S need or fancy dictated. For centuries this simple hand- made pottery was hardened by dry- ing in the sun, se that it would serve for the storage of dried grain and other like things. Then these prim- itive potters learned to harden their products in open fires or in the most rudimentary form of kilns. How many generations of men, of anY ' race, handed on their painfully as- , quired bits of knowledge before Hite earliest stage was passed, can never be known, but advancing skill, based Ott increased technical knowledge, can be traced in the work of pre- historic man. For ages tools and methods re- mained of the simplest—the fingers for shaping or building up a vessel, a piece of mat or basket -work for giving initial support,—until some original gentles of the tribe found that by starting to build up his pot on the flattened side of a boulder he could turn his support so as to bring every part in succession under his hend. The next step was the invention of the potter's wheel. Wherever clay was found men be- came potters of a sort, just as they became hunters, carpenters and workers of metals. In time came the knowledge that even in the same district all clays ! did not tire to the same color, and, color decorations arose in it rude' daubing or smearing of some clay. which was found to give a bright red or buff color on vessels formed of a duller -colored clay. Most precious of all were little deposits of white clay which kept their color unsullied through the fire. By these primitive rneans the races of the dawn made' their ware. On this superstructure all the pottery of the past four thou- sand years has been built, for behind. all Egyptian, Greek or Chinse pot- tery is found the same primitive. foundations. Steering With Glycerine. , Glycerine has many uses besides' those of a medicinal and domestic nature. Nowadays glycerine is put to use in the steering of liners and hattle-' ships. In windjammer days the art' of steering was from . a mechanicat. point of view a simple operation, but often caused discomfort to helms- men. The steering wheel, situated in the stern, was directly connected to the rudder by chains, and the steersman had to withstand the shock. .0? the kicking rudder when struck' by heavy seas. "Nowadays the wheel,' on the bridge of the ship, controls a' rudder many tons iu weight; a child could maillpulate it, and glycerine is the agent. . I Man -power is no longer employed for turning the heavy rudder; this operation is performed by a powerfub steam engine placed above it at the Stern of the ship. The futtetion of, the glycerine is to transmit power from the wheel on the bridge to the' engine at the stern, i ,t,o points which,: on the largest liners, are hundreds of feet apart. , At the bridge end of the system is what ia known as the steering tele- meter, which •consists essentially of a pumpand when the eiceringawheel is revolved the glycerine Is foreeri. through small copper tubes to the stern of the vessel, where it actu- ates the telemeter. This. in' turna controls the steering engine. Aetually the working fluid is not, composed entirely of glycerine, hut contains a percentage of water, for glycerine, alone is not only expensive but sluggish in its action. ! . 1 Tell -Tale Nails, I If you have had much experience • of hospitals, you may have noticed that when a Street -illness case ie brought in for treatment the bowie ' surgeon -usually lifts the patient's hands and examines them.

Littledieuesion took place on the report when presented, utter. havira beenamended following the claim Reeve Ringler, of Listowel, that -thn! assessment figutes for Lista wol were i n orrect. In explaining thel report Valuator , G. Lochhead stated that in obtain- I ing the figures of assessment from the Listowel officials, the exempted property, including cemetery and school had not been taken into eon - sideration. The correct figures, he. said; according to their last assess- rnbnt roll, were $1,466,575, a de- crease of approximately $114,100, from the -figures originally .presented. The equalized assessment for Listow- el this. year is therefore $1,534,037 representing an increase of 4.6 per cent. Thought Increase Too Great Reeve Douglas was inclined to pro- test against the big increase in Log- an Township. He stated that while the valuators claimed the best land in the county was in Logan Township yet NW township has a heavy burden in caring for the county roads that have been turned back on the town- ship. No further objection was rais- ed and a motion, proposed by Reeve A. Mutton, seconded by. Reeve D. Armstrong that the report be adopt- ed as amended and that the. total equalised assessment for taxation for the county be 8135,107,410 was car- ried. In it vote of thanks, the council expressed its appreciation of the ef- ficient and capable manner in which the valuators carried on their Work. Accounts totalling $782.55 in con- nection with the cost of the work were referred to the Finance Com- illillopumi.
