Family pie- nic s and gatherings, gs motor drives, yr its s to outside points , fishing et c, filled up the day, not to mention. the many who worked in their gardens. And, J i. _ ,1 , an.., spite of the foot that deal- ing in Oackas 3s prohibited by taw in Clinton,' there was an odd fire cracker in evidence. But the evening lacked the glory of former days when fireworks were fireworks, AMONG THE CHURCHES A call has been extended from the United church at Blyth, to the Rev. 'W. D. McIntosh of E•mbr•0. This call is extended by the united con- gregation of Knox and the former Methodist congregation, .which will come together at the end of the pre- sent conference year. St. Paul's Church Rev. P. H. Pauli of Bayfield con- ducted the services in this church on Sunday. Presbyterian Church The minister's 'Sunday morning sermon subject: "The Power of the Tongue." Baptist Church The Ladies' Aid will meet in the church on Friday, May 27tH, at three o'clock in ties afternoon. A towel donation for the bazaar will be re- ceived. Ontario Street United Church The minister, Rev. P. G. Perrin, will take as his sermon subject on Sunday morning: "The Call of Op- portunity." Evening; "Five Tests of Life." Wesley -Willis United Church Tho minister's morning sermon subject on Sunday will be: "Open Windows." Evening; "The Man who Makes no Mistakes." The W. A. will meet et two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, June 2nd. Sunday was a very special day in the history of this church, it being the seventy-eighth anniversary of Wesley congregation and the seven- ty-fifth of Willis, and very happily celebrated by the united congrega- tion. The special preacher for the oc- casion was the Rev. Janes Endicott, D.D., ex -moderator of the General Council of the United Church of Canada, who preached two inspiring sermons and also addressed the Sun- day school in the afternoon. In the norning he chose as hie subject "The Kingship of Jesus" and took as his text the wards pf Christ: "The Kingdom of God is at Hand," He Balled attention to the state of so- ciety at the time these words were spoken and to the fact that there was little to indicate that the King- dom of God was in the world, goring on to show that conditions were similar at the time of all great spin. itual awakenings. It is at such tines that God visits his people. Christ did pot go about establishing his rale in the way men approved but Ho did it in a very much wider' way than the narrow way the Jews ex- pected. In the evening he spoke on "The Abundant Life." Christ came not to constrict life, to make it nar- row and confined, but to make it rich and full and abundant. Men and women were always seeking a broader, fuller life. Only in living such a life with Christ can that long- ing be fully satisfied. "If I could persuade this congregation," he said in the course of his sermon, "to real- ly enter into the fullness of life that night be enjoyed, this would be a glorious anniversary occasion and my visit here would be well worth while." Dr. Endicott is a pleasing speaker, he has seen much of life and has a rich fund of experienee from which to draw illustrations. He was lis- tened to with great pleasure and, it is hoped, with profit also. Thechurch was filled for the morning service and in the evening the Sundhy sehool room had to be opened lip as many front Ontario street church, their service being withdrawn, and from other congre- gations came in. The music for the day, under the direction of Mrs. Morgan Agnew, was 'very pleasing. Besides the an- thems Miss Mary R. Stewart contri, bated a solo at the morning service and Dr. Smillie of Hensall .one in the evening. Muse Ann Stewart took the solo parts in the morning an - hem andi `(4I ss 'Stewart and Mr. Roy Allen and Mxs. Hearn and Mai, J. C. Cooper inthe evening. The ehureh was beautifully decor- ated with the season's flowers for the occasion, The :begird had asked for 'a special offering of $4000,; to cover necessary Penitents 'of inter- est, intakanee, etc., and this sum. was mere than centrsbuted, the con, gregatiob responding • liberally., THE MARKETS Wheat, 55c.

Elliott has been given permission 4, eonatruet a driveway over the corner of the lawn into his garage. This was in consideration of the use of a few feet of grotrnci south of the garage building, which looks as if it belong- ed to the church property. These trees were not perfect in shape but many regretted their being sacrif- iced. But a new tree will be plant, ed and aft. Elliott has permitted the pienling of vines along the side of the garage wall, which when grown will snake a pretty green screen. The two parties to the agreement seem satisfied and that is the plain thing, when folk are neighbors.
