Presbyterian Church 'Sermon subject Sunday morning: "God's Mighty Works." Rally Day Services will be held on Sunday in the Sunday School at 10 o'clock. The Woman's Association will meet Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 7th, at the home of Mrs. Joseph Wilson. Owing to the extremely inclement weather the attendance at the several Sunday morning services was not as large as usual, but a good number gathered at the Presbyterian church for the anniversary service Sunday morning, when the Rev. Dr. Ketchen of Hamilton conducted the service. He took for his subject the Prodigal Son, preaching a well -thought out sermon. In the evening he took for the basis of his address- the stories of the lost sheep and the lost coin and a passage in. Isaiah "And a roan shall be more pre- cious than gold.."' his theme being the Divine estimate of the value• of man.. He spoke of the common roan and the importance of his work and the low estimate often put upon it, citing the poem of the late IRudyard Kipling, "Martha's Sons". In God's sight, however, "a man is more precious than gold," and the world would do well to consider more the welfare of the people than enrichment in this world's _goods.' Dr. Ketchen is a quiet speaker, one who depends upon the matter of his sermons to impress his.hearers rath- er than the forcefulness of his deliv- ery. He was listened to with much enjoyment and profit, At the evening service the congre- gation was augmented by . members of the congregations of Ontario street and Wesley -Willis United churches and the Baptist churef. Rev: C. W. D. Cosens and Rev. G. G. Burton were associated with him on the platform and assisted in the service.' The church was handsomely decor- ated with Autumn flowers ' for the occasion, the choir, under the leader- ship of Mrs. Toward Clark, organist, furnished special music, giving an an- them, a seleetion by the male quar- tette and a solo by ;Miss Irene Sny- der at the evening service. PERSONALS. Mrs. (Dr.) F. G. Thompson has been visiting in Chatham. Miss Anne Allanson has been visit- ing relatives at Gerry and other points in Illinois, returning home on Saturday.. Has Resigned Office Mr. E. S. Livermore, only son of Mr. and Mrs, James Livermore of town, who has been acting as magi- strate of Elgin and Oxford district for the past few, years, has sent in his resignation to take place on Oct, 1st, to the *Government, and will give his time in future to his law practice in Aylmer . Mr. Livermore had been making a name for himself for the wisdom and carefulness of his decis- ions and had been giving general sat- isfaction. lie intends having a law office in St: Thomas, as well as in Aylmer.', however, so that will prob- ably take his full time. T h e St. Thomas Times -Journal says editorially: E. S. Livermore, who has performed the duties of police magistrate in this 'district so satis- factorily.past for. the twoyears, has resigned in order to give his full time to his private practice . This was ex- pected. Mr. Livermore was a success in this position because he was faith- ful inthe erfo •mance p >. of his duties;. he 'had the ability, the magisterial bearing and possessed the knack of getting a quick insight into the cases brought before him and of judging right and wrong.... For a young en- ergetic and capable lawyer like Mr. Livermore there is a greater future than presiding over police court cas- es, important as they are. We look to hint to climb high in his profes- sion and his exeprience as a district ,magistrate will help him advance. YOUNG PEOPLES' CONFERENCE THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF LON- DON CONFERENCE UNITED CHURCH TO CONVENE IN CLINTON, OCT 9-10-11. All roads will lead to Clinton, as far as the Young People of the Lon- don Conference of the United Church are concerned, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 9, 10 and 11 when the Twelfth Annual Convention will be held in Wesley -Willis Church. From Essex, Kent, Elgin, Middlesex, Oxford, Lambton, Perth and Huron they will conte, three hundred strong, to enjoy this great annual event. Fra- ternal delegates from Hamilton, To- ronto and Bay of Quinte Conferences will also be present. The Conference has adopted the principle of visiting the various Presbyteries in turn. In 1934, Essex was host to the Conven- tion which niet in Leamington United Church. In 1936, the Conference convened in Grace United Church, St. Thomas. This year Huron Presby- tery has the honor, and the Presby- tery has chosen Clinton as the Con- vention town, and Wesley -Willis ,Church as the meeting, place of the Convention. The delegates will be entertained in the homes of the On- tario and Street Wesley -Willis con- e con- gregations. On Friday, when the es- timated attendance will run from 75 to 100 the meals will be served in the Convention Church. Presbytery and Civic greetings will be extended at the supper table. On Saturday, the larger delegation will be divided into two-groups'atthe dinner and supper- hours one part being served by the Woman's Association o f Ontario Street Church in their banquet hal the rest being served in the Conven- tion Church by the ladies of the Wo- men's Association of Wesley -Willis Church. Following t h e Sunday morning Communion service at 8 o'clock, the members of the convention will be served breakfast in the two church banquet halls. The delegates will be entertained in the hones for. Satur- day breakfast and Sunday dinner. This plan has been adopted for several years by the Conference itself as the most suitable. The sessions are opened to the pub- lic. The high lights will be on Fri- day evening when Rev.. Dr. C. A Myers, Secretary of Christian Edu- cation of the United Church of Can- ada will speak on "Consecration of Leisure Time," and on Saturday ev- ening when Rev. C. E. Silcox, Secre- tary of the Social Service Council of Canada will give the • address o n "Christian Patriotism and . Interna- tional Obligations.." The Conference will have charge of the Sunday ser- vices in both United churches, The young people of the two -chur- ches are in charge of the billeting, Miss Gladys Addison being the offi- cial Registrar and head of the billet- ing committee. Mr. Jack Pitblado, Vice -President of Huron Presbytery is the Convention Manager. This is undoubtedly the greatest event in Young People's work 'that has ever been held in Clinton, and the young people in particular 'and many others are waiting with deepest an- ticipation forthese three 'great days. When Age Counts At the Conservative picnic held at Bayfield a few weeks ago a prize was awarded g man for being the old- est person on the grounds. After- wards the committee decided that Mr.1) C.antelon and Mrs. J. Chuff of Clinton were both older, and they sent to Mr. Elliott a small gift for each of these venerable true blue Tories, • New Grocer. In Town Mr; J E. Scott of Cannington has Purchased the MacLennan Grocery and is already in possession, as a glance at our advertising columns will show. Mr. Scott has been in the grocery business for about thirty years and no doubt understands his business thoropghly. He has just disposed of a business in Canning - ton. • Mrs. Scott and children, a daughter and a small sori, age corning right a- long and the family occupy the apart- ment above the store. Mrs. Scott spent a short time in Clinton when a young girl over twenty •years ago and has often spoken of the town and -people, so that they do not feel quite like strangers. It is to be hoped that their residence here will be pleasant and profitable. • Diamond Wedding On Sunday last, September 27t1t, Mr. and Mrs. James Paterson, Sr., two of Wiarton's oldest residents, celebrated their sixtieth wedding an- niversary at their home "Blinkbon- nie" in 'Marton.
