Rally. of Huron Pres- , bytery Held • in 'Knox Church, Goderich Monday The annual Young People's Rally of Huron Presbytery of the Presby- terian church in Canada was held Monday night in Knox Church, God- erich, when large representations were present from Clinton, Seaforth, Hensall, Exeter, Auburn and Goder- ich. F. G. Weir, of Goderich, pre- sided and the special speaker was Rev. James MacKay, D.D., of New St. Janes' Church, London.

Kaine, of Seaforth, read a letter from Rev. William A. Young of Hensel', who was to have giver an address, and is recovering from an operation in Scott Memorial Hos- pital, Seaforth. Mr. Young extended greetings from Huron Presbytery, of which he is the Moderator. A mes- sage of sympathy was ,endorsed by to legend but the symbolism of the 1 the young people, to be sent to Mr. Poppy, the sorrowful appropriateness. of its blood -red bloom, takes on a deeper significance with each suc- ceeding year. Canada adopted the Poppy as a symbol because of the 60,000 graves in France and I3elguiin in which lie her dead of the proceeding genera- tion and because of the 170,000 Can- adians to whom the great conflict brought disablement of one 'kind or another. On Remembrance Day this Domin•, ion pauses in its normal activities to' recall the sacrifices of its young men, to pay tribute to their heroism, their hardihood and the uncomplain- ing. fortitude with which they bore their privations and sufferings. At the sante time, Canada strives to liquidate in some small measure; an obligation to those disabled men em- ployed in the Vetcraft Workshops of the Country *hose only means of livelihood is making these simple emblems. All Canadians of every age and de- gree should wear a Poppy on Re- membrance Day to honour those Can- adian boys who paid the supreme sac- rifice and to assist those, and their dependents, whose earning power has been diminished by injuries received in the great war. - HOLMESVILLE On Thursday last the W.

Rev, D. 3. Lane, minister of Knox Church, ,extenclecl a cordial welcome to the representatives. A compre- hensive report of Camp Kintail was given by Miss Ann Milne of ,Goder- ich. "Christ will win men through the instrumentality of men and of wo- men. There are many callings and occupations, but there Is no sailing in which men can so faithfully fol- low Jesus as by becoming co -labor- ers with Him, and thus winning souls for Him," declared Dr. MacKay, in his inspirational and forceful address basing it on the challenge found in Mark, ehapter 1, verse 17: "Come ye after Me, and I will make you to be- come fishers of men." It was the greatest challenge because it in -- 'volved the greatest tasks. Willing sacrifice and Service brings joy and gladness. "There, is no conscription in Christ's satiny; they are all volun- teers," concluded Dr. MacKay. The reports of the Young People's Societies and Canadian, Girls -ie - Training were given briefly, and the representation from each church asked to stand. • The Treasurer's report given by Ray Pride; of Exeter, showed: Re- ceipts, $20,71; balance on hand of $16.25. • Officers Are Chosen The Nominating Committee's re- port was brought in by Rev.

The depositors, Canadian individuals and Canadian business firths, represent every class of the community in city and country alike—from persons of large means to children starting their life's savings, from industrial corporations of international -scope to farmers and small tradesmen. Good faith, good will and good banking practice on the part of those directing the Bank grow naturally out of the sense of responsibility imposed by this ex- pression of nation-wide confidence.: HEAD OEEICII MONTREAL • REN.1 Established 1817 "A BANK WFIERE SMALL ACCOUNTS ARE WELCOME" Clinton Branch: H.

The depositors, Canadian individuals and Canadian business firths, represent every class of the community in city and country alike—from persons of large means to children starting their life's savings, from industrial corporations of international -scope to farmers and small tradesmen.
