Morning service was in charge of the pastor, Rev. A. le, Mill - son, assisted by Rev. R. J. Ross, of Auburn Presbyterian church, Music wee furnished by the Auburn choir assisted by Messrs. Henry and Sid- thorpe, of Westfield. Preacher of the day was Rev. Dr. Cook, Toronto, a prominent superannuated minister iu Gerrard St. Methodist church, who was on the Auburn circuit in 1880 or 41 yeare ago. The texts for the morn- ing sermon was Leviticus 25.11: "A jubilee shall that 50th year be unto you," and Phillipians 4.4 : "Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say re- joice." The discourse was very ap- propriate bringing out the fact that people should be glad at all times not only at the Jubilee time. Evening service was again in charge of the pastor assisted by Rev Wm. Taylor, of Moorfie d Presbyterian ch re . Singing was lead by Westfield Broth- erhood choir and 'Mrs. Jenkins, Lon- don, rendered an excellent and ap- propriate solo. Subject of the sermon was the "pall of Matthew" Matthew 9-9. Dr, Cook developed the subject so that Matthew saw in Christ, him- self as he ought to be and responded leaving all and following Him. These services will be long remembered for their own excellences and the heady and reverent response of the people in the cominuuity. Monday evening the Jubilee cervices took the form of a Lawn Social on J. 0. Clark's lawn. It was preceded by a Baseball game in Mr. Raithby's field, between West- field and Auburn teams, Westfield Bountiful o boys winning 11 to 5. B u supper was served by the ladies of the congregation in their well-known style. The Clinton Kiltie Brass Bund supplied the music for the evening while some of their members gave a bagpipe seleceion. Ars. Jenkins gave two splendid solos and Harvey Mc- Gee, Auburn, sang several well ren- dered Irishi and Scotch songs. Rev. Mr. Willson contributed a short talk, sketching the life of the church from the time of the Circuit Riders until the present. Rev. Mr. Ross, Rev. Mr. Hawkins and Rev. Dr. Cook gave timely addresses appropriate to the occasion. They all hoped before another 50 years passed by union of all the churches would be consummat- ed. Proceeds of the occasion amount- ed to $285 00 which will go to the church, Many old membets were pteseut, some from British Oolumhis, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Sudbury. Ohatham, London, Moore- field, Goderieh, Brussels, 1313113, Nile and other two appointments, West- field and Donnybrook. The whole affair manifested the community spir- it of the district.

The trip was long in mileage but the itinery was so wen planned and so successfully lived up to, with nothing wanting an the part of the welcome at places visited, nor anything to excel the sights and scenes afforded that al- though 3 weeks were reefed off in its accomplishment the participants were sorry when it was over and the busy routine of issuing a weekly had to be returned to, only that iu reminiscence of many a happy hour spent on the Press excursion of 1921 will be lived over in the hope tiler some day the plea'ure may be there's again to du- plicate. Although Toronto was the meeting place for the excursionists the quill drivers Eastern Provinces e a fro m the )rae t were represented even to the Atlantic ocean arid it really was:whet it was said to be "Across Canada"—Atlantic to Pacific.

Hospitality was writ in large type everywhere both West and East, The miles and mites of prairie farm lentis looked prime with the growing indicatinns of a great harvest and we are only enrey that in various in- stanees anticipation far exceeded pxrticipation, In the face of years of failure in diet:ints there was still an optimistic outlook on the theory of "!letter lurk next time," Where old Ontario has the bulge on most other Provinces Hee in the fact aur farmers don't put "all their eggs in One bask- et," in other words milted farming beats out specializing In the rounds of years. The mountains and scenery afforded h1 their whereabouts will neve,: be forgotten with their number, great altitude, towering snow caps, grim ofa,gusbiug rivuleL5, rapid u mr i n 3 streams, great glaciers sparkling in the sunlight or the fantastic patterns pre. stinted in the cloudland and sunsets with Its multiform ; -colorings have to be feasted onto be even half under- stood in their beauty and enthral - went, We have come to the 'oonclueion that the Pruritic :meet and its giblet; of Vancouver and Victoria have a hie - tory peculiarly its own in its climate, population, activities, products and outlook, Vancouver is said by some to be much overdone bo its retail bads and the cosmopolitan character of its inhabitants will likely always supply problems as to their future. Lake Louise and Banff, both boom- ed Summer resorts, make good when you see them and are not pat- terned after the old time circus where the best part of the show was the pic- tures on the big bills, They are „, beauty spots all right but a lengthy stay at either would imply that by some process the Midas touch wee an endowment possessed by the tourist. The cities and several of the numer- ous towns on the main line of the 0. P. R, have many commendable feat- ures and liasga good; fighting chance to go on and prosper but the palsied hand of the old boom days .has sent many a highly tooted embryotic town and city into the cemetery line-up never to have a resurrection we fear. From a political standpoint we have altered our opinion considerably as a reeult of our trip, We will never throw many journalistic bricks at the bargain made by the promoters of the C. P. R. It was almost a super -hum- , an undertaking, to many people in- surmountable, and has proven of such practical importance and value that its right to the prominence given can- not be gaineayed even after the con- struction in later years of the other trans -continental lines. Croakers say there are too many railroads but no country can progress at more than a snail's pace witilotit them. The objec- tion that might be made is the crook- edness of the "grabber," 018; he mil- lionsio'e, contractors or wily politi- eiaTAne, E POST is glad it was possible t0 have a part in the brief but crammed - full outing. Westerly Oauade, looms up very differently after last June. The unity for the obliteration of the "East and West" doctrine was em- phasized everywhere and the applause greeting such utterances was suf- ficiently energetic to prove that like a burr, it was there to stick. We may have our own ideas about govern- ments and the necessity for certain laws to suit our particular environ- ment but after all as Canadians we believe we are one in heart and ppur- • pose whose ambition ie to do and dare to make Canada worthy of its best traditions and deserving of being properlynamed "God's Country." It y is our hope that it may be our pleas- ure to meet again in the no distant future with a large proportion of the good folk who constituted our Press party, Of nue thing we are assured that the West and the railways never re- ceived a better boosting in a given time than bas resulted from the scores of well written accounts in the various papers published by excursion- ists nn the Press trip of 1921 and pos- sibly all concerned might be quite ready to repeat the dose.
