U. presented the three -act comedy "Manna's Baby Boy" to a capacity audience in the basement of the church. The story centres arouncl,a widow and widower, both with growls up children. They are seeking marriage for financial reasons, but seek to dis- guise the true age of their children. As. a result the children are compel- led to act and dress very much younger than they actually are. As the widower proposes he is discov- ered by the children who turn the seriousness of the matter into a hil- arious comedy, Many amusingin- cidents occur. Finally the true age of the children is revealed and as the alder people are practically pen- niless the situation looks serious. Both have holdings of stock however which suddenly jump in value. Then a real estate agent seeks to purchase some property owned by the widow and it appears the marriage will not have to take place after all. They discover that their love is mutual however in spite of the deceit which has been evident up to this point. The play is brought to a close with the usual happy ending. Rev. G. G. Burton welcomed the audience and introduced the players. He was an untiring worker in mak- ing preparations for the play, acting as director and stage carpenter.

Affirms Loyalty to King and Queen The Presbyter of Huron, at its regular meeting, held in Clinton on Tuesday, May 9, unanimously passed the following resolution: "On the occasion of the visit to Canada of Their Majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Presbytery of Huron of The Pres- byterian Church in Canada affirms its loyalty, and the loyalty of its people, to the crown and to British institutions, regarding the crown" as, the unifying force binding together• the wide -flung British peoples of many races. At a time when in many, lands there is conflict between church: and state, we note with gratification: that beneath the British flag haiman y prevails between the two, the state, guarding the freedom of the church and the church supporting the auth- ority of goveazunent. The Presbytery trusts that this visit may increase the loyalty of all Canadians to the Crown and to, the persons of Their Majesties, and help cement in this country the ties of Empire. We rejoice at this demon- stration of deep interest on the part' of Their IiIajesties in the welfare of Canada, believing that as a result of this visit the mutual interest of Their Majesties and the Canadian people for each other will be streng- thened. The Presbytery prays that the blessing of God may rest upon Their Majesties, not only while they Are among' us but also on, their return to the heart' of the Empire to con- tinue their valued work of leadership in all that pertains to the best in- terests of those over whom they reign."

Affirms Loyalty to King and Queen The Presbyter of Huron, at its regular meeting, held in Clinton on Tuesday, May 9, unanimously passed the following resolution: "On the occasion of the visit to Canada of Their Majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, the Presbytery of Huron of The Pres- byterian Church in Canada affirms its loyalty, and the loyalty of its people, to the crown and to British institutions, regarding the crown" as, the unifying force binding together• the wide -flung British peoples of many races. At a time when in many, lands there is conflict between church: and state, we note with gratification: that beneath the British flag haiman y prevails between the two, the state, guarding the freedom of the church and the church supporting the auth- ority of goveazunent. The Presbytery trusts that this visit may increase the loyalty of all Canadians to the Crown and to, the persons of Their Majesties, and help cement in this country the ties of Empire. We rejoice at this demon- stration of deep interest on the part' of Their IiIajesties in the welfare of Canada, believing that as a result of this visit the mutual interest of Their Majesties and the Canadian people for each other will be streng- thened. The Presbytery prays that the blessing of God may rest upon Their Majesties, not only while they Are among' us but also on, their return to the heart' of the Empire to con- tinue their valued work of leadership in all that pertains to the best in- terests of those over whom they reign."
