ntarlcs, stressed the great need in
Wales, among -the miners and their
families . and, a collection was taken

ANNUAL MEETING OF
NORTH SIDE UNITED CHURCH
On Monday evening, January 28t5,
1929 the congregation gathered in
large +numbers to the :annual meeting
of''the Church.
The pastor; Rev. W. P. Lane, B.A.,
condtteted the devotional exercises and
was appoidted +to preside over the bus-
iness of the evening, Representatives
of the `various church organizations
gave their respective reports all of
which were very gratifying. The to-
tal sum raised for local purposes by
the Board and organizations amounts
to $5,633.00.
The sum- ' of $2,500,00 has been re-
mitted to the Church Treasurer -at
Toronto as the congregation's'contri-
bution- to the Missionary and Main-
tenance Fund:
The Women's Missionary Society
and affiliated organizations have sent
on to the Presbyterial Treasurer the
sum of $906.00.
Benevolent causes' were supported
to the extent of $120,00.
The Ladies' Aid paid out during the
year for various purposes, the sunt of
$880.00.
The total raised by the congrega-
tion for all purposes amounts to $9,-
12
Hearty votes of thanks were tend-
ered to the various officials and
church workers for services rendered,
A special vote of appreciation and
confidence was extended to -the pas-
tor and his :family.
Another pleasing feature of the
evening was the , presentation of a
purse of money to Dr, F. Harburn
as a small recognition of his faithfa'-
and efficient services as envelope ste-
ward for a period of fifteen years and
ays treasurer for a period of seven
ears,
A resolution was passed to be for-
warded to Ottawa with similar reso-
lutions from other bodies in the Do-
minion petitioning the Government to
effect legislation making it unlawful
for any one to get 'customs clearance
papers for thecarrying of intoxicating
liquors to the United States contrary
to the laws .of that .country.
The congregation- also expressed it-
self in believing that earlier closing
of the places of business in
on Safurday night -would the to
g be a'bene-
fit to the community as a whole. The
Official Board was requested to' con-
fer
'and,co-operate with other local
bodies and organizations so that this
end might be obtained.
After the business was concluded
a social hour was. enjoyed during
which a delightful lunch was served
by the ladies.
One more year has been added to
the history of North Side United
Church, a year upon which there is
much cause to look back with thanks-
giving. We turn to the future believ-
ing that, .walking in the will of God,
and in the spirit. of Christ, a larger
service and greater blessings await
us.
YOUNG PEOPLE'S LEAGUE.
• A •friendly word, a .friendly glance,
A friendly deed, a friendly gift,
And even the sorriest heart svil1

And the weariest eyes uplift.
--John -Jarvis Holden,
Friendliness was the very essence of
the skating party that the. Young
People of North Side United Church
held'on Tuesday evening on Beattie's
pond: Those "who were present en-
joyed it, The absent ,members missed
one of the most successful skating
`parties we have had in years. Meeting
at the church at 7.30, the young people
were driven to the pond, where, thank
to the men a splendid sheet of ice had
been cleared for then. For those who
did nbt skate, the social committee in
charge, had arranged for their amuse-
ment by having many interesting
games in the S.S. room. Sparkling
eyes, -rosy cheeks, our young skaters
returned to the church at 10 o'clock
for lunch"of wieners, rolls and coffee.
Much credit is due Mrs, E. Chapman,.

TUXIS BOYS' PARLIAMENT,
What Is A Boy?He is a person
who is going to carry on • what you
have started. He is to sit right where
you are sitting and attend to those
•things you think are so important,
when you are goner You may adopt
all the policies you please, but how
they wiil`� be Carried out depends on
hint. Even if you snake Leagues
and treaties, he will have to manage
them. He is going to sit at your desk
in the senate, and occupy your place
on the supreme bench, He will as-
sume control of your cities, states and
nations; your prisons, churches,
schools, universities and corporations.
All your work- is going to be Judged
and praised or condemned by him.
.Your reputation and- your future are
in his hands. All your work is for
him and the fate of the nation and of
humanity is in his hands, So it might
be as well to pay him some attention.
-Boys' Club News.
It is next to impossible to make a
report on the Tuxis Boys' Parliament,
One becomes so interested, in it and
so much captivated by the spirit that
precedes, that the thought of making
a report never crosses -one's mind.
Fellows, it cannot be described. One
has to be there to get any idea what-
ever of what it is like. I might say
this much, that it was great!
About 116 boys from over all Ont-
ario met in Toronto during 'Christmas
week,' There were members from
Timmins, from Ottawa and from Nia-
gara Falls and from the .Border Cities.
Most of us had never seen each other
before, but in about two minutes one
would think we .had known each other
all our lives. Surely that is a spirit
worth cultivating.
It. is edifficult, fellows, to tell you
through the press all that happened
at the Tuxis Boys' Parliament, Some
of you perhaps have the idea that it is
a sort of ]nock parliament or stunt. It
is neitber. It is a- real parliament,
carried on by real, live wideawalcr
fellows, who are wanting your co-op-
eration to make it a success. Let's
have an election next year fellows.
This acclamation business gives a fel-
low the idea that he is representing a
bunch of boys who are, not over en-
thusiastic regarding their own inter-
ests. Let our member from South
Huron next year be. -a fellow who has
won a hard fought battle to have the
privilege of representing South Hu-
ron. This year ten additional seats
were granted to Trail Rangers.' Mem-
hers of Sunday school groups taking
part in some mid -week activity in
Church 'Life are eligible for Parlia-
ment. This is all -very well, but what
earthly good •will it do if we do not
show enough interest in the work to
support it? Would you like to see your
Trail Ranger Camp or Tuxis Square
fail through just because we- did not
provide enough money to carry on the
Boys' 'Work? Last year we were
$1,200,00 behind. What are we going
to. `do this year? Bootle are beingsent
