An invitation has ben extended to the parents andmall.interested in the work of the Sunday School; which received a splendid response, there be- ing over three hundred and .sixty pre- sent. The Superintendent, Frank R, How- son, was in chargeand the entire pro- gram was centred on ";.Che Light of The World," A miniature model of a church was placed on the platform on which were placed lighted candles, which each member of the school car- ried, to show the place in the world, that he or she had in "The Light of The World". The opening hymn was "Brighten The Corner," followed with prayer by Rev. Anderson. The Scrip- ture Lesson was taken by nine of the junior boys, each repeating a passage of Scripture. The classes then merely - ed to the platform in charge of their teacher, to place their lighted candles on the church, with Donald Lloyd of the primary class,.giving an appropri- ate recitation, holding a lighted can- dle. Rev. Anderson addressed the members of the school, taking for his subject "Light" which was followed with the hymn "Signal Lights". A pageant "The Torch Bearers" was then presented by twenty teen age girls. A large white cross, with ten burning candles was on the platform, with ten of the girls entering, who were announced by Miss Dell Walker, the country which they represented. The last ten girls, represented the an- gels, who escorted the country repre- sentatives away, each carrying their lighted torch. Bruce Edgar of Toron- td favored the gathering with two solos, accompanied by Miss Tena Reid. The service was brought to a conclusion by singing "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam."
