GIVING —Sunday last the members of
Trinity, church' held their annual'
Harvest Thanksgiving.. service, As
roads were good and the• weather.
beautiful a very large congregation
was present, many members of the:
olller churches here,,uniting to lender
unto Almighty God thankful praise
for the blearing of'a bountiful harvest
people in this community have enjoy-
ed Churchwas- nicely
decorated
with many beautiful flowers, grain
and fruit. Much credit is due the
devoted ones who year by year do the
work hot in their labor of love they
have joy according- to the ;joy in the

Thep preacher
was Rev. A, S. I3. thee, of Beivie,
who took for his text, Mark 7:37 "And
wore beyond measure astonished, say-
ing, He hath dole all things well, He
lnniteth boththe f to hear and the
deaf f

earnest 'preacher and brought his
twofold message home to the people
in a thoughtful, practical way. He
spoke of Ohrist's life Work of earth,
all of which was done well and finish-
ed, the great crowning act being the
giving of Hiniself for our redemptidil
which was afull, complete atouemerlt
for all mankindand although we cau-

highest, holiest aspirations being mar-

message to us is to aim to do all
things well and finish whatever we
n rfaint dertake and not f art by Y thee way
but be faithful unto the end. The
Thank -offering is devoted to Missions
to the extent .of our.. assessment.
Speaker said it was very appropriate
that the thank -offering for our harvest
should be used to further God's cease
told gather in sheaves in the 'spiritual
harvest, which brought him to the
second message, which is that we by
our prayers and offerings do' some

A most Successful' Event. Better
than over.
Wednesday, 12th lust„ was the date
of the second School Fair at Walton,'
in which 0 seboole united. King's
weather was c•ppurtlnued permitting a
very large attendance, many coming
long distances, thanks to motor loco-
tnntion and no one wale disappointed
in the Fair and its various depart-
ments.
The school house and t:1i' large shed,
in connection with Duff's church,
made fine exhibition halls and the
latter was tastefully decorated with
evergreens, flower's and flags. List of
entries was large and the exhibits ex,
cellent, constituting a fat simile of a
Fair, fea-

tures often wanting in the latter.
The surprise was that children and
young folk could present as varied
and meritorious a display. 1•Iany
words of praise were pronounced by
judges and the visitors over the ex-
cellency of the products and the neat
arrangement of the same, Awarding
prize ribbons, in many an instance,
was no easy task.
There was a great improvement in
flower and vegetable, growing
over
1010 and the exhiit o f *rain wad fine.
b S
In bird houses there were twenty en-
tries, varied in variety and ingenious
in their construction.
The new class arranged for children
under 7 years and -another open to all •
girls in the Sections over 12, opened
the door to new talent that proved
well worth developing.
Special prizes were exelleut and did
much to encourage exhibitors, Direc-
torate is grateful for the generosity of
donors of the same.
Short program of Community
games, specially interesting to the
junior element, was put on. The
Home Gardens is a feature worthy of
deepest interest and these were care-
fully inspected during the season by
the teachers. This is a very practical
department of the School Fair and
was a revelation as to what could be
done by the children.
During the afternoon short address-
es were given by Dr. Field, Inspector
of schools for East Huron ; Principal
B. S. Scott, Brussels and Revds.

A great crowd remained for the
evening Concert, which was held in
the large horse shed, fitted up for the,
occasion with accommodation for
probably 700 people Program was
splendid, consisting of well played
piano duets by Hisses Ferguson ;
recitations by Marjory Balfour that
would be herd to beat ; choice solos by
Miss Stevens and overflowing 11u1n0r-
ous selections by the inimitible James
Fax, Toronto, who was better than
ever notwithstanding a bad cold. B.
S. Scott, Brussels, filled the chair in
good style and called uponon Mr. Mc-
Kay, the District Representative
from Bruce Co. and Mr, Vils011, in-
structor in Poultry at the 0. A. 0.,
who gave practical addresses compli-
menting and commending the good
work being dote by Walton School
Fair. The former showed the advant-
age of a 0ounty Representative and
was surprised that the large rich 00.
of Huron was one of three Counties in
the Province without such an officer.
He took occasion to show how such a
man could help the farming interests
and guide the wont of the children.
In addition seeds, eggs, etc., would be
supplied by the 0. A. C. free. It cost
Walton Fair Committee $03,00 for
seeds this year. Gross proceeds from
Concert were Upwards of $100.
One of the most profitable results of
a good School Fair is the cultivating
of a Community spirit and endeavor.
This 1188 been abundantly proven in
the two Fairs held at Walton.
The various Officers and Committees
displayed commendable zeal and in-
dtlstry in the 'many duties devolving
Upon thein from the preliminary pre-
parations to the close. Offlriary wish-
es to heartily thank all who lent help-
ing hands, ready feet and active
minds in leaking the Fair the success
it proved to be, It certainly wes a
case of "many hands make light
work."

hope of cultivating a spirit of pro•
