Diamond Jubilee Anniversary HOLMESVILLE UNITED CHURCH This is now a .thing of the past and now one can write something of that which transpired during the ten days of 'its celebration and say some. thing in regard of the .vlalues of it. Early last Fall a committee under the chairmanship of . Mr. W. H. Lobb was appointed to draw up, plans and make suggestions for the an. niversary. Under the leadership or, this committee the people of the district gave their heartiest coopera- tion. It was due to this spirit of interest and loyalty that the anniver- sary was such a great success. Early in May nearly 300 invitations were sent out to former residents of the district, some of these are now living in distant places on this continent. In that way interest was extended and many expressions of apprecia- tion were received from those who were far away. The many former residents residing in Olntario were present at some time of the cele- bration. Visitors were present from Trowbridge, Spriingford, Olttawa, Bowmanvilie, Sarnia, Gobbles, etc. So widely had the estrangements been made known. Hence it was not surprising to find large congrega- tions at the various meetings. The first Sunday, October lst, was a good opening day when, the Rev. J. W. Johnson and the Rev. A. Sin- clair had charge of the ser ices. Their messages were very well re- ceived by the large congregations. The choir of the church gave two special anthems in the morning, as- sisted by Miss W. Trewartha as solo- ist. In the evening a monster men's choir was the special feature with Mr. Clarence Potter as soloist. The men entered into this service with great pleasure and did themselves credit. PAGE , CONSTANC1. The W.A, and W.M,S. held their regular meeting, on Thursday last in the basement of the church.

The mem- I' bers of the Wonnen's Association die their part very well. The play had pronounced humour in it as .well asl some sound common sense and phil- I osophy. Some who saw and heard the play laughed so much that they had to count sheep, etc. on retiring for the night. The Young People's Night was a pronounced success. This was under the chairmanship of Mr. G. Elliott and consisted of a worship service conducted by Miss E. Huller, Miss M. Glidden and Mr. C. Pearce . and a few miscellaneous numbers. The guest of the evening was Mr. F. 0.1 Elford of Ottawa. His speech was largely a memory remiew of the earl -1 ler days of the local church life. This was made very interesting and also amusing by his many asides. The concluding part of the address con -i sisted in a showing of many views' of Europe taken front actual photo -1 graphs. On the second Sunday, October 8, large crowds were present to greet; I the Rev. Dr. Courtice of McKeesport, Penn. This was a memorable day.' The messages given were timely and to the point. The special music for the day was given by the choir, as- sisted by Mr. Norman Murch in: the morning and Miss W. Trewartha in the evening. The concluding part of the . an- I niversary was the fowl supper and programme on Tuesday, October 10. This was a grand finish. Over 600 people had supper and this in spite1 of unfavourable weather conditions.1 The supper arrangements were ideal. 'There was no unnecessary hustle or services. commotion. The tables were taste- fully arranged and the food was of the highest order. At nine o'clock. under the chairmanship of Mr. W. H. Lobb the meeting was called to order in the crowded church.
