'Seaforth There were a good num-
ber ,from the north .side of the
county in attendance, also a, number
of the most prominent men from the
sou'thwes't part of the couhty. The

EGMOND V ILLE.
The anniversary services held at
Egmondville United church on Sun
day, Nov, 22nd, were :an unqualified
success. The day was not 'quite
what had been ,hoped for, -but the
slight. inconvenience "so occasioned
could not daunt the people on an
occasioia •such as that, and so from
country, village and town they came
in such numbers as to completely
fill the church: Dr. 5, H. Edmison,
of Toronto, the special preacher for
the day was in splendid form and de-
livered two very excellent sermons.
In the morning he spoke on."Char
acter Budding,' taking his text front
Exodus 34:29, from the words,
"Moses wist not thatthe skin, of hie,
face 'shone" and 'emphasizing the
thought that character is hulk slow-
ly and unconsciously. Wealth, posi-
tion, evenreputation, stay:'be won
or lost in a day—not so character.
It is the produel of a life -time and
happy indeed that individual about
whose childhood are the influences
of godly parents. of a Christian •home.
and community,
In the evening Dr. Edmison spoke
on the life of Elijah, applying the
lessons of Elijah's life to the lives
of God's people today. The spectacu-
lar things of Ilife are not the great-
est or most significant things, The
livs's that in quiet and unobtrusive
manner are following the path of
duty are the 'lives that in the ulti-
mate analysis Will count most for the
advancement of the Kingdom.
These sermons made a deep im-
pression and cannot fail to bear
fruit in the peepple's.lives. Suitable
music for the anniversary occasion
was rendered by the choir under the
direction of the organist and choir -
leader, Mr. Earl VanEgmond. The
financial response was most gratify-
ing and is just one evidence of the
splendid spirit of the people who go
to make up 'the congregation. The
Board had set $500 as an objective.
estimating that this along with the
regular Seniday offerings would not
only meet all ordinary requirements
to --the end pf the year, but also wipe
out the $300 debt carried over from
the building operations, With splen-
did generosity the congregation far
exceeded this estimate and placed on
the plates the sum of $880. The con-
gregation keenly appreciates the pre-
sence of those from other congrega-
tions who helped so materially . to
snake this anniversary occasion such
a conspicuous success.
The Y.P.S.C.E, held their regular
meeting Monday evening at 8 o'-
clock, Miss Sadie Howatt presiding,
Rev, W. D. McDonald led in prayer
and Mr, Earle Webster read the
Scripture lesson. The report of the
convention held at 'Clinton on Nov.
18th was given by Gertie Webster
and Mac Wallace. A solo was sung
by Bernice Joynt. A contest was held
with Russell 'Wallace's group win-
ning. A few minutes was given to
community singing and then the
meeting came to order while business
was discussed. Meeting was closed
by all repeating the Benediction.
