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.

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- casion ccasion amounted to $1040.00, EGMONDVILLE.
