ANNIVERSARY SERVICES.
The Thanksgiving services in the
North Side United Church on Sunday
and the fowl supper followed by a
splendid programme on Ivlonday even-
ing, were, in every respect; a great
success, The services on Sunday were
attended by congregations which
pretty well :taxed the seating ,capacity
of the church. This was particularly
the case on Sunday evening when a
large. number came over from Tg-
triondville Unaided Church, which, with
truly Christian brotherliness withdrew
its service on Sunday evening ih order
that its •people might attend the North
Side Church: The choirrendered spe-
cial music in a manner" :that did cre-
dit to the individual members and to
the excellent training of Miss A. G.
Govenlock, organist and choir leader,
'rhe congregation were glad to hear
Miss Ruth Thompson again, in a'well-
rendered solo. In the morning the
pastor,' Rev, W. P. 'Lane, BA., :preach-
ed an excellent and appropriate dis-
course from Psalm 116:7. In the ev-
ening a former esteemed pastor, Rev.
H. D. Moyer, of Mitchell, preached
from Psalm 32:8. At both services a
special Thanksgiving offering was to
ken..
Ori :Monday evening from. 5.30 to 8
o'clock the'Ladies' Aid served a .sump-
tuous foivisupper which was so temp-
ting bhatr,those who ,Partook of it,
were fain to cry out in' the fullness of
their ex'Iterience, or rather the exper-
ience of their fullness, that "we 10
this tabernacle do groan, being bur-
dened." During the interval, when
those in the church auditorimn were
waiting their turn to go down to sup-
per in the basement, Northside church
orchestra rendered some good selec-
tions. The supper over, Mayor Gold-
in "took the chair, After singing one
Gold-
ingg B
verse of the hymn "Come Ye Thank-
ful People Caine," the choir sang -an,
anthem, the chairman made a • few
few terse remarks' an' which he paid a
well-ddserved tribute to the' ladies for
their untiring- zeal and energy in
working for the church; often -in times.
past when the men ;have been beset
with financial difficulties, the women
have come manfully '(1) to the res
cue. Mr. Fred Peet of Embro de-
lighted the audience with several 'vo-
cal, seiectione, each one eliciting .a
hearty encore to which he responded.
Miss Pollock of Kincardine rendered
several numbers in very fine voice, of
which the audience showed their ap-
precia'tion-•by .recalling the singer
time after time. After Monday even-
ing Miss Pollock and Mr; Peet will
always be ;welcome contributors to
any musical event in Seaforth. Mas-
ler Arthur Golding's violin solos im-
pressed the audience.with the,thought
that he is far on the road to being,a
second Paganini, The. Revs. W. D.
McDonald of Egmondville, W. A.
Bremner of Brucofield, H. W. Barker
of Brussels, brought cordial greet-
ings gs from their rcs,Pecttve congrega-
tions

Lane's address was on "The •Greatest
Art in the World, viz "The Art of
Getting on with One Another,". If
Mr. Lane's adnnonitioits were'univer-
sally followed, the occupations of .the
League of Nations, -like that of the
"nigger in the play," would be ggne.
After the clairntan, on behalf' of the
Ladies' Aid; .had thenlced all those
'who haat assisted in the program, the.
meeting was brought ,to a. close 'by,
singing the National Anthem, The
total proceeds of the anniversary oc-

EGMONDVILLE.
The evening service at Egmondville
on Sunday last was postponed on ac-
count of the Northside anniversary.
A large number. of the congrega'ti'on
were present at Northside and report
a most inspiring service. The Eg-
mondville pa for conducted the ser-
e ice
er-
vice at Mitchell and gave an account
of the recent Toronto conference..
A goodly nun'ber of visitors, in-
cluding teachers and others whose:
duties call them elsewhere, were pre-
sent at the Thanksgiving service Sun-
aay morning.

borne, were visitors at Egmondville

The coming of Dr, 1), C. McGregor,
of St. Andrews, :London, toconduct
anniversary services itt Eginoildville,
is a 'matter of interest not only to •the.
Egmondville congregation but to 'the
enbire community. Not only 'is Dr.
McGregor an eloquent preacher but
a ,man of wide 'experience and sp'ten-
did personality. As President of the
Conference he hes :addressed many
large audiences throughout Western.

Sig e mgs
All down through the ages the signet
ring has been the emblem of friendship,
confidence and implicit faith. Kings
and Princes gave their signet ring to those
whorl they entrusted with special mis-
sions and whom they held in high es-
teem.
And today this beautiful practice is fol-
lowed identically as in days of old with
the single exception of•cost.
Today we are selling signet rings at a
fraction of the old and original cost.
For instance we have a beautiful range'ef
signets at the specially low price of
