St. Anne's Church on Gladstone ave,

pretty but quiet wedding on Saturday
evening, Nov. 24, when 'Miss Eliza-
beth 'Cooke, niece of Mrs. John Web-
ster of Seafortfr, became 'the bride of
Mr: Edward Warren, of that city. The
bride was 'becomingly gowned in a
blue silk crepe trimmed with gold lace
with`. hat to snatch. She was given
away.'rby her brother, Mr. John Cooke.
After the ceremony a reception was
given at their new home in West "To -'
Tonto. Mrs. 'Warren was in Seaforth
several years ago. Her many friends
extend hest wishes.
STREETS ARE NOT
THE PLACE TO -SKATE
One, cold night last week people
were horrified to see groups of chil-
dren •on skates standing at corners
trying to "hook on" behind cars go-
ing slowly and carefully on icy pave-
ment. Playing on, the streets even in
the summer is dangerous. At this time
of the year autos have none too sure
footing, and for young boys and girls;
some of them on skates for the first
time, to become so daring as to try
to catch on behind cars, is bound to
result in serious accidents sooner or
later,,
Besides many good ponds, Sea-
forith has an excellent rink, so there
are plenty of places to use skates
without going en the -main thorough-
fares,

EGMON'D V ILLS;
"The Finals" in 4he Huron Presby-
tery Public Speaking Contest were
held in . Ontario st. United 'Church,
Clinton, on Monday last, when the
spacious Sunday school room was fill-
ed almost to capacity. Those who had
survived to this final contest were
Miss Ritchie, of Ashfield, Mr. John-
son, of Bluevale, and Miss Jean Smith
and Mr. W. G. McNay, of Egmond-
ville. The subjects. of the contestants
in the above order were "Why 'Go to
Church," "The Church and Amateur
Sport," "The Home Field -A Call to
Young People," "Foreign • Massion•s, A
Field for Service." The manner and
delivery, as well as matter, was strik-
ingly different with all four contest-
ants -and yet it was very easily seen
that each of them made a very favor-
able. impression
avor-able.iinpression on the audience. The
judges were Mr. Fines, Principal ,of
the Clinton Collegiate Institute; Mrs,
(Dr.) Gandier, and Mrs. McCulloch,
and the difficulty of their task can be
ganged in some measure by the fact
that it took -'them the better part of an
hour to reach a decision. Mr. W. G.
McNay was adjudged winner of the
young men, while Miss Ritchie receiv-
ed the decision Tor the young ladies,
and was also chosen 'to represent the
Presbytery in the .Conference con-
tests. Mr. Fines, in giving the de-
cision referred to the difficult task
with which they hadbeen faced and
said that it was only by the narrowest
possible margin that anyone had been
declared winner.'
Dr. McInnis, of Wingham, who has
very ably headed op this phase of our
'Young People's activities, was pres-.
ent and brought with him two -silver
medals for the winners and two
bronze medals for the .runners-up.
These medals will be suitably en-
graved with names, date and occasion.
The presentation was made by Rev.
A. E. Doan, pastor of Qatarie -st.
Church, All the contestants were
most heartily congratulated by min-
isters and laymen who spoke while
the judges were reaching their de-
cision. The splendid success of this
undertaking this year will no doubt
make it more popular and bring about
an even keener contest in the coming
year.

ciety met on Tuesday evening with

President, in the chair. The meeting
