Two reels of moving and sound pictures were shown on China, one being "Here is China", and the other "Children of China". The third reel was a coloured, moving picture filmed by Rev. Anson Moorehouse, Secretary of the Visual Education Department of the United .Church. This picture was very much enjoyed as it showed many beautiful scenes on Manitoulin' Island, together with its different industries, and the im- portant part the United Church plays in the life of the people of the Island. At the close of the evening a social hour was spent after which the ladies served lunch. Rev. Hazle- wood then called upon Miss Mary Smillie to Dome to the front encl.-the following address was read to herr Dear Miss Smillie—A noted editor once noticed a particularly fire achievement by a friend, also an editor. He thought he would write immediately a letter of congratula- tion to his friend, But he didn't. There was day or two of delay, and then he said to himself, "Oh, well, he will get hundreds of other notes about it, so I shall not bother him with mine" Then he met his friend and told him how it happened he had failed to send his letter of commen- dation. "How many do you think I did receive?" ,asked the friend. The editor guessed many scores, But the real answer was, "Not (me," We, the members and adherents of Duff's United Church, Walton, feel that we cannot let you relinquish the Treasurership of the church without expressing in some way our apprecia- tion of your fine work through forty- five years. service as Treasurer. You gave of your time and talents to this service in the Kingdom of God, cheerfully and willingly. And you slid your work with remarkable' efficiency and expediency. Very few realize the multitudinous tasks that face a Treasurer, necessitating im- mediate and accurate attention. All these you accomplished competently, and faithfully. We, of the church, wish you to know that we greatly appreciate your service, We believe in the words of one of the poets that; "A rose to the living is more Than sumptuous wreaths to the .dead: In filling love's infinite store, A rose to the, living is More If graciously given before The hungering spirit is fled -- A rose to the living is more Than sumptuous wreaths to the dead." Therefore, as a token of our grati- tude, we ask yon to accept this studio 33 altitiECA `.. couch with our best wishes for many happy years to come. Signed: Silas Johnston, Clerk of Session; George McArthur, Chairman of Committee of Stewards; R. G. Hazlewood, Min- ister. Miss Smillie expressed her heart- felt thanks for the kindness of the people of the church in presenting this handsome gift, and told of the steady growth of the church during the fortyfive years which she was Treasurer. The evening was brought to a close by singing "Blest Be the tie that Binds". A special meeting of the Young Peoples' Union was held in the church on Sunday evening, when the members of the Executive of the Pres byt Young Peoples' Union Mr. and Mrs, Edgar Hollinger and , son Chas. at the home of her par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

Zriseee k The - Canadian Bank of Commerce has for many years assisted in the develop- ment of logging, lumbering and the pulp and paper in- dustry across the Dominion. Its branches, whether in old established communities or in the new town sites, serve the many banking require- ments of companies and individuals associated with these industries. �ANKING IN ACTION is manifested in the crash of falling trees; in the rush of logs, as the lumberjacks break the jam and speed the timber on its way; in the scream of saws, as busy mills convert it into planks, beams and scantlings. Logging and lumbering provide work and wages for thousands—in the woods, the mills, the construction industry. The stream of wealth thus flowing across Canada is an example of Banking in Action. 718A THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE SEAFORTH BRANCH — G. C. BRIGHTRALL, MANAGER BRUCEFI ELD On Thursday erening.
