The speaker gave his exposition of , the 23rd Psalm, and the Bo:* of Psalms.

The W, M. S. of St Andrew's Pres- byterian Church; held its September meeting on Tuesday of last week day evening, when there was present- • ed the musical travelogue, "The Sev- en Wonders of Jerusalem and Gali- lee." The shepherd appeared in nat- ive costume, and gave careful and in- teresting con-unents on the pictures as they app'ea.red upon the screen. The pictures were very fine, those of the Sea of Galilee, Mount Hermon .and the River Jordan being especially beautiful. The rocky heights from which Moses viewed the Promised • Land, and the region about the Dead .Sea, peesented another aspect of that little country which gave to the world the Bible and the Word's Redeemer. Madam Haboush, very graceful and pretty in her Eastern costume, wore the necklace of coins which is the treasured heirloom of every family of Palestine. A "dowry," also of coins, adorned her head, but, though it is valuable, it is not prized nor guarded as as the necklace which the mother, •of the family places about the neck c f the bride of her eldest son. The par- able of the lost coin can be really understood only when onesrealizes the 'dismay and disgrace that overwhelm the owner until the coin is found, when not only the family but all its -neighbors rejoice over its recovery. The trip through the dities with whose names every lBible student is f amiliar was most interesting and in- structivea The progratn, which was excellent and enjoyable, ,was accom- panied throughout -by, music softly played.

M. E.. A. ASSOC. At the annual meeting of the Geor- gian Bay Manicipal Electric Associa- tion held in Owen Sound on Wednes- day of last week Rt. Hon, Arthur IVIeiglien was the principle speaker. Figures showed that as production increased gradually the •number of persons needed to operate the pro- ducing machines declined steadily, Senator Meighen said. • He did not believe either, he said, that the machine giant which had caused "such stress yet at the same time had proven to be such a friend Mr. W. H. Gurney Re -Elected Pres- ident. to humanity," should be discarded be- cause the action would be "going back." Pleading for the retention by rnan Or woman of the conviction that they themselves were the architects of their own lives, Mr. Meighen declar- ed socialization of human effort would mean ruin. , Early in the day at the annual meeting of the Association the Hydro Commission member told the dele- gates Hydro's achievements resulted from the fact that it had avoided a multiplication of interest charges, which would have followed if power development • had • been left in the hands of private companies with their duplication of services and huge in- vestments on which to pay interest. During •tile course of his brief speech Mr. Meighen defended the Hydro policies and declared Hydro was "clean from garret to cellar. There is no skeleton in any closet." W. •H. Gurney, president of the as- sociation, occupied the chair and last year's officers were re-elected for an- other term. Many- points were dis- cussed. at the meeting, Dr, A. F. Gaby, chief engineer of the commis- sion, and Hon. J. R. Cooke, the chair- man, replying to the various ques- tioItis. It was suggested that a flat rate for power should be charged to all municipalities, but Hon. Mr. Meighen pointed out that the various- munici- palities had entered hydro on the un- derstanding that power would be sup- plied at cost. To change this system would be to break the contracts of the 700 participating municipalities, and would be equivalent to confisca- tion, he charged. • The names •of the officers of the association follow: President, W.
