py returns of the day." The follow-
ing is the address which was read to
Mrs. Johnson:
"Dear Mrs. Johnson; -As you are
to -day celebrating the happy event
of your eighty-fifth birthday and have
been a member of St. Paul's W. A.
since its organization, we, your fel-
low members and friends, are gath-
ered here to -day to celebrate , with
you the happy event. Birthdays are
milestones which mark off the road
of life along which we all travel, the
longer the road, the more opportun-
ities we have of service, and service
alone makes the way one to which
we can look back with feelings of
satisfaction.
Knowing you and your zeal, from
the bottom of our hearts we congrat-
ulate you on this happy day. For
you can look back with a full and
thankful heart to many years of
service for Christ through His
Church. The following verses ex-
plain your life better than words
which we can say:
'0f you I would a tale unfold,
Your deeds both great and many,
A picture on life's wall doth make,
Let's stop, while we a view may take.
They come to you the young, the old
You turn them not away, nor are
afraid
Of your great store of cheer to give
That each a happier life may live.
This picture is, I know, too small.
Would I could paint it all!
A life .of service and of love
For our dear Master up above.'
We ask you to accept this little
gift with the wish, that it may ever
be as full of that whichmeets our
material needs as our hearts are
filled with love and good wishes for
you.—Signed on behalf of St. Paul's
W. A.—Mrs. K. •McGoon, Rion -Presi-
dent, Mrs, Geo. Taylor, President,.
Mee. D. J. Atkinson, Secretary."

nvr , who wl f racily Miss Amy

ing east owing to the illness of Mrs.
Andrews, and she remained for some
-weeks after her passing. Friends
here will sympathize with her in
her sudden bereavement.
WIN FROM CUP HOLDERS
'Wearwell Hosiery team defeated
their former rivals and last season's
trophy winners on the local diamond
on Tuesday evening, by the score of
8-4. It was conceded to be the best
game sof ball played here this sea-
son, for, while errors were notice-
able on both sides there was snappy
work in the field and on the bases.
'Of the four runs tallied by the
Benders, three were homers. They
opened the scoring in the first frame
in which they acocunted for two runs
were retired scoreless in the next
three, tallied one in each of the next
two and were blanked for the last
three innings.
The Hosemakers opened with one
in their first, were held to zero in
the second, broke away for five runs
in the third, following up with two
more in the fourth frame, and the
last four were scoreless.
Oustanding plays were the hom-
ers for the visiting nine; and for the
honesters a sensational bit of field-
ing by Livermore in centre field, who
raced for a long fly beyond his own
fielding territory hut out of reach of
his side -kick in left field, and con-
nected. Hawkins also caught some
difficult ones.
Batteries: Grand Bend, W. Des-
jardine and G. Statton; Clinton, Mc-
Donald and Pearson.
THE CONCERT
Those who did not brave the heat
and attend the "Crippled Children's
Concert" in Wesley -Willis church on
Tuesday evening missed a znusical
treat and, incidentally, it wasn't se
hot in the building at all, except
for those who were doing the enter-
taining, and there was no indication
that they were slighting their ef-
fort's on that account. However, we
can well imagine that they were re-
lieved when it was over.
This concert was one of a series
being put on in the towns of Huron
County in aid of the crippled children
fund of the Lion's Clubs of Goderich
and Seaforth, an object which ap-
peals to most folk, and a large num-
ber of tickets were sold in Clinton,
a number of the buyers being de-
tained at home when the evening
came on account of the heat, Those
who attended, however, were well
repaid and probably felt the heat
less than those who stayed at home
to think about it..
The performers, Mr. Waking,
baritone, Goderich, under whose dir-
ection these concerts are given, sang
several numbers which were greatly
appreciated, Mi•s. W. A. Oakes, con-
tralto, of Clinton, also contributed
some charming songs and was warm-
ly encored; the violin selections of
Miss Peggy Moreland, Hamilton,
gold medalist at Stratford Musical
Festival, were very much enjoyed.
Her playing was exquisite and one
wondered how a child of thirteen
could have applied herself sufficient-
ly to have become such a master of
such an instrument. She was accom-
panied by her mother, Mrs. S. More-
land, but in one number was accom-
panied by the organ, played by Mr.
Leslie .Somerville, Hamilton, whose
playing over the radio was well
known to many, and who delighted
the audience with his organ numbers.
He played the "Rosary" by request in
his last group of selections and his
closing number was masterly. Alto-
gether it was an excellent entertain-
ment.
During an interval Mr. Griff ex-
plaining that Mr. Hopper, who was to
do it, was called away, exhibited
some pictures in the screen and ex-
plained the work done for crippled
children. The pictures showed . not
only the need, but also some of the
results of treatment, and he advised
that if anyone knew of the case of a
child who ought to be getting special
treatment word should • be sent to the
Club and. that each case would be in-
vestigated.
Mr. It Edwards, chnian ,of this
section of the Club's''.work, thanked
the church officials for the use of the
church and also those who bad given
their services and those present for,
their support. Ile said that every
dollar so raised went into the Crip-
pled Childrens' Fund and was used
for this work alone.
A TREAT FOR. CO. HOME

church came up Monday evening and
