Melville Church
The second sentence of the Lord's
Prayer, "Hallowed by thy name,”
was the theme dealt with by the paet-
nr, Rev. F. G. Fowler, in Melville
Church, last Sabbath morning.
When we consider the attributes of
God, as revealed in the words, "Our
Father'," it is only right that the sec-
ond sentence follows. "To hallow"
rueans to regard ms sacred ; to rever-
ence. Thr opposite of this is to des-
ecrate. We desecrate the name of
Clnd (t) when Re ace it in a profane
way. Thi-' habit. is an iudex of our
I die:respect for C d : (h) when we
e wuor a f ,ise pity which our actint's
belie ; (r) by a meaningless repitinn cf
the name of God. 1Ve hallow the
mune of God by allowing Him eo one
cuey the cthief (Tires in our lives. To
]tallow God's n1ut', we must INJieve
in et personal God. We should !nohow
• the uctnrn of God becmse of the per.
somelity of God. tat: Father, the Son
and the Holy Ghost. We halloo., the
name ..t God by doing his will.

Before the Young People's Society
of Melville (Mural on Tuesday even-
ing, Mrs. Tele Lowry, librarian of .
rit•ussels Library, gave a splendid and
instructive address on the subject
"Books that are Well Worth While". '
P'rom a book reser-voter of groat ex-
perience, Mrs. Lowry pointed out
books: that would benefit everybody,
especially the younger generation.
There were books of the '-.Buffalo
Bill" and "Nick Carter" type that
she did not recommend and in her
opinion, they were declining and
dying out like jazz music. But a-
mong the delightful companions of a
quiet hour, she listed the following
authors. Stevenson, Gene Stratton •
Porter, H. A. Cody. Bruce Barbon,
Dorothy Canfield, L. M. Montgomery
Jack Mines and Stanley Jones
whose two books 1"The Road to In-
dia" and "Ohriet of the Round Table"
are outstanding works. Biographies,
the speaker recommended included,
Abraham Lincoln, Garfield, Gipsy
Snaith, Edward Bok, Edison, Lawren-
ce (in Arabian Booker T. Washing-
ton and Andrew Carnegie, all being
self nude urea and the latter the
donor of our own village library. On
it pedestal above all other books,
however, was the Bible. During She
course of her address Mrs. Lowry
revealed that there was a circulation
of 4,975 books for the local library
for the past year. end she compli-
mented the young people on the
thigh cataractae of books they select-
ed from its shelves. Following the
address, discussion on books was add -
cd to by Miss Grace Stewart, Mrs.
Ramage, Allan McCracken and Rev.
Mr. Fowler, in the order named,

ure of a few words from Bert Lott,
