The twelfth , annual report of the Huron Presbyterial W.M.S. has much in it to remind one of the expression, "the glory of the grey." 1925 will stand out • in the annals of the history of the Presbyterian church of Can- ada as that year when fidelity to Presbyterianism was manifested in loyalty to the mind and will of the highest court -the General Assembly of the Church; and when the out- standing event in the, World's church history was consummated in the Arena in Toronto on June 10th, • the Huron Presbyterialy-as part of the Presbyterian church, sufferedper- haps r - haps as little as ay of the sixty- three as comprising the General.

H. Reiss, l irovisc. Mr. Jefferson, our president 'gave us a very timely talk. Reviewing the growth of the Farmer's -movement. and comparing it with the changes and growth of 'other similar bodies in. the towns. In the future we must pay more attention to the social and educational sides of our movement; in the past we have given too much attent;ion to the political and econo- mic aspects. But in passing, he .said, that we could help ourselves econo- mically by making table , turnips a money crop and by marketing 'them co-operatively. •Ile -suggested that various educational subjects should' be discussed by the club. He also deplored the trend of law and jus- tice ip Canada today. A darkey 'in Listowel got 5 years for stealing an overcoat which he had to return. i0hite 'crook in Sarnia got one year fol' taking $10.000 or $12,000 which he was allowed to keep. Mr. Black's Address. IMr. President and Gentlemen: I incl very much as Mr; Jefferson does on the question of law. In all too many instances, justice _ miscarries. Law is a farce justice and is not given 'in many cases. fA Bernardo boy gets 5 years for talps'og $15, while another man gets suspended sentence for taking $15,000. Not 15 miles from Seaforth our country is not a democ- racy, I. thought it was but it is not -not as I saw it in Ottawa. • We elect governments! They..say.we do. It cost $40,000 to elect a member of Parliament in 1921. What did it cost Canada` to elect the present House Can you come within ten million of the cost? I venture to say it took directly and indirectly for estimates for harbors and elevators, etc., twenty-five million. Canada was more 'democratic fifty years ago than she is 'to -day. The whole trend is .to widen the space between the Government and the people. Now let me give you anestimate of some of the big men in the House of Commons. Mackenzie King is a very able man. He is a master mind on economics and labor problems. IIe is not a great leader, . I'f Mac- kenzie King had applied the prin- ciples in Parliament he lays down in his book, "Industry and Human- ity," he would 'be King indeed to -day -King in the hearts of the 'people and no force in Canada could unseat llim. But he did. He has played tactics and now ie trembles in his sant. Mr. Meighen is a very different kind of man but very able -a' very able lawyer. He can make 'biack look white or white look black. He is not a statesman -he is a lawyer pieading a case. ivlr. Forke is a man every inch, and honest, Youcan depend on him. You' .know what he means. Not schooled as the others are in the arts of argument, but his 'thinking is sound. I think he struck high water stark when he said we (Progressives) are not an 'opposition,' though Mr. hfeighen used it as a whip against him. T. A, Crerar seemed to me the ablest leader in the House. A 'thor- ough 'business man. I think he quit because the gingerftes would', not work with 'him.' No man could lead them. Mr.. Scott's Address.. u, Mr. President. and Gentlemen. I wish to speak 'to you this evening on the New Year and its possibilities for our Club, In the past we have been no disgrace to any one; but in the 'future let us make this club a credit to the farmers of this com- munity and a credit to the to'ten in which we meet. We have . onade some mistakes in the past. What growing 'institution doesn't? We were doing so much 'business that it looked' as though' we had too much for a box car so we decided to have a store. It . seems clear that if we wish this club to perpetuate itself we most enlist the younger -farriers, The membership of this club should be 'ten times what it is now. The benefit arising from 'a club of this kind depends, on the effort put into it. The farmers can make this club as successful as•they wish.' Mr. C. Eckert, our past president and representative at the annual con- vention in Toronto gave us a very full .and very acceptable report. of that convention. He will conclude his report at the coming meeting, Jan. 20th, when . we expeot members, of the 'club to discuss some . of the topics brought up in it: COUNCIL MEETING.
