Between Rev. F. S. Okell and Some Members of Con- gregation of Church — Elders and Officials Hold Special Meeting. Monday's London Advertiser had the following item, which refers to a former pastor of Ethel Methodist Church: Differences of opinion in Chalmers Presbyterian church culminated yes- terday with the receipt of a note by the elders from the minister, Rev. F. S. Okell, in which he said he was taking a vacation for an indefinite period. The pastor was not in charge yesterday morning, heing out of the city, The Advertiser was informed by officials of the church that the minis- ter was asked to call a special meet- ing of the Session to consider a reso- lution. He refused to do so, but eld- ers and officials met privately and forwarded to Mr. Okell, who le said to have stated that as he had not called the meeting, the message was not official and would not be consid- ered by him. Those who would have Mr. Okell leave the charge claim that it would be an exceedingly difficult matter to have the affair brought be- fore the Presbytery, as Mr. Okell is moderator. There has been some feeling in the congregation over a juvenile court incident. Two boys were summoned to juvenile court for disturbing the services, but some members of the congregation thought that a message( to the boys' parents would have been sufficient. Mr. Okell is a former Methodist minister, having joined the Continu- ing Presbyterian church when the United Church came into being. HALF -HOLIDAYS WEDNESDAYS.

Power generated in a smooth, constant flow—sparkling accel- eration—power---speed for every emergency— high -speed steadiness —marked economy! These are the performance qualities assured by the new, larger, high compression engine of the new Oldsmobile. This great new power plant represents years of work and over a million miles of testing on the part of Oldsmobile engineers. They in- troduced a cylinder head of special General Motors Research design that permits high compression with ordinary fuels. They ribbed the crankcase and cylinder block horizontally and vertically to prevent distortion and main-. tain accurate bearing alignment. They' added such features of advanced engi- neering as crankcase ventilation, controlled cooling, pressure lubrication, oil filter, air cleaner, foal preop frill automatic spark and thermostatic charging control. Then, to provide fine car performance to an even more marked degree, they devised a new method of rubber mounting for the engine new methods of silencing the chassis and the interiors of the smart new Fisher bodies. Drive the new Oldamobile once—and you will know why its brilliant performance has become a matter of common knowledge—why thousands of buyers today are choosing Oldsmobile.
