ANOTHER S000ESSPUL MI$SIONARY
BANQUET. -Friday evening of last
week the third annual Laymen's Nis
•tionary Banquet of the 5iethodist
church, Ethel circuit, was held and
%vas in every way a pronounced suc-
cess. The . two addresses by Rev. Dr,
Barber, of Listowel, and Rev. W. E.
Millson, of Stratford, were of a very
high order. Dr. Barber had for his
thence "The Missionary obligation of
the present through our debt to the
past." The reverend gentl8hian, in a
forceful and eloquent manner, man tad
out our present indebtedness in till
that means for our present high civil-
ization, to the self sacrifice and self
denial of some nnie in the past. The
chuich owes much 10 the past.We
ale what we are because someone has
given, and that lavishly, in the days
gone bv. The address was listened to
with keen appreciation and profit by
all. Rev. Mr. Millson gave an illus-
trated talk on "The present great
Crisis in Canada." The central' thought
of the address was the problem o the
city in the assimilation of the preeent
influx of foreign immigration. With
fervor and touch earnestness Mr. Mill -
son brought home very vividly the
responsibility of the church in this
present crisis. The music by the or-
chestra and solos by Rev. Millson were
very much enjoyed by the large gath-
ering of men, The Missionary returns
from the Ethel circuit this year will
be in the neighborhood of $400. 'The
laymen have taken hold of the Mis-
sionary problem and are endeavoring
to meet the obligations of the church.
