RALLY AT EXETER
The school room of James Street
United Church, Exeter, daintily dec-
orated in a color scheme of pink and
white with long tables centred with
pink and whit autumn flowers, and
pink candlesticks, was the scene of a
"happy gathering on Friday evening,
when the members of C. G. I. T. and

were guests at a banquet, served by
-the ladies of that church.
A hearty repast was enjoyed by the

sheets, after which the answering of
questions asked by various groupes
was dealt with.

ided during the evening, then proposed
a toast to the King, and after drink-
ing this toast, Mrs. Lane introduced
Dr. Dobson, of Alma College, St,
Thomas, who presented one of his
students, Miss Pyugh Yong Rhu, a
native of Korea, who looked quite
quaint in her native costume. Miss
Pyugh Yong Rhu spoke a few words,
in which she expressed her pleasure
.at being invited to the banquet, and
told of how wonderful Canadian life
seemed to her. She said. Canadian girls
bad such wonderful opportunities, and
were so independent, as compared
with Korean girls. She said too, that
her main ambition is to carry back to
Iter homeland some of the ideas of C.
G. I. T. and to try to ;form such an
-organization among her own people.
Miss Pyugh Yong Rhu has spent two
years •at Alma College, and said she
found her studies and worlethere most
interesting; Later during the program-
me' ottr friend from Korea sang sev-
•oral songs, including "Hone", "The
Desert," and "A Boat . Song," in her
'native tongue, which greatly pleased
her 'audience. Solos, too, were render-

Seaeforth groups, and Miss Vera Hud-
son of Egniondvilie pleased her aud-
ience with an interesting reading From
" Mrs, Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch,"
Mrs. Lane then presented the guest
speaker of the evening, Mrs.. Mac-
Gregor of London, better known as
"Marion :Keith, the authoress, who.
chose her subject bearing on one of
songs on the song sheets, "Toevery
Maid there openeth, a high way and
a low." Mrs, MacGregor proved a
most interesting and pleasing speaker,
and her words to the girls were most
inspiring and helpful. At the close of
her address the girls rose and sang
the song on which her talk had been
based.
To every maid there bpeneth -
A high way and a low,
And every maid decideth
Which way her soul : shall go.
The high soul climbs the high way
The low soul gropes the low,
And in between on the misty flats e
-'The rest drift to and fro.
Toevery maid" there openeth
A high way and a low,
.And every maid •decideth
Which way her soul shall go.
And every maid has a loving Guide,
Prom the vale to the mountain treat
.And the unseen Friend who walks
beside
Is the Way and the End of the
Quest.
Mrs. MacKenzie of Seaforth voiced

AGAIN ENJOYED
Cameron Geddes Captivates Audience:-
With Hie Singing,
There was a very good attendance
at the return presentation of "The
Tide" in the Town Hall on Friday
ht and
night the applause that greeted
the efforts of the cast was proof be-
yond doubt that those presentthor-
oughly enjoyed the play.
The play has a war settingand the
old war songs again made a decided,.
hit. There is a sadness to the play
that is typical of those times, but there
was also humor galore as the care-
free attitude of the boys of 1914-18
was depicted. The local Legion have
shown great enterprise in producing
this play and they will present it in
the near future in towns nearby, in.
fact on Friday evening this week they
stage this play in Lucknow.
The Legion were very fortunate in-
deed that they could procure the ser-
vices of Cameron Geddes, who sang
several solos, There are few better
basso singers than Mr. Geddes and it,
was a rare treat to hear him .again.
It is twelve years since he last appear-
ed on a Wingham stage. Miss Tena
Reid was his capable accompanist. His
selections were: "Glory Road," `faid
Man River," "Wagon Wheels," "The
Voice in the Old Village Choir," "Let
the Great Big World Keep Turning,"
Jones of the Lancers," *Over Over .the
Billowing Sea." Gordon Davidson rel-
so gave selections on the piano ac-
