HURON PRESBYTERY OFFICERS' CONGRESS A most successful Officers' Con- gress for the North Section of Hur- on Presbytery, was held on Wednes- day evening last in Gorrie United Church.

Veterans Attended St. Paul's Church The annual Veterans' •Church Par- ade was held to St. Paul's Anglican Church immediately following the service at the. Cenotaph. Rev. E. L. Roberts, the Rector, chose for his Scripture lessons, first, Psalms 90 and 91, second, 44th chap- ter of Ecclesiastes. He preached a forceful and appropriate sermon for Remembrance Day, taking as his text the 26th verse, 12th chapter of the Book of Exodus "What mean ye by this service." The Sermon To day we meet to keep the great day of Armistice. Today we commemorate the cessa- tion of the grim struggle against world tyranny. Amid the subjects of memorials for days to conte will always be counted the deliverance of our country, our Empire and of the civilization from the imminent perils to which they were exposed. But, above all, we meet today in reverent commemmoration of those who served, and died that our land night be inviolate. God played the greatest part in giv- ing victory to the Allies - therefore we should always bear the annivers- ary of Armistice in a spirit of rever- duce. There is always a tendency to leave God out of our reckoning. It is only human nature to become absorbed with the present and to ne- glect the future (and before the war) that was the condition o fthe world. Civilization had forgotten God. This condition was apparent even in the great British Empire and in the midst of the Diamond Jubilee - when the British Empire was being glorified - Rudyard Kipling sounded a note, in- his immortal poem ".Lest We Forget" "If drunk with sight • of power we loose Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe, Such boastings as the Gentiles use, Or lesser breeds without the law, Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget, lest we forget." We may well compare the observ- ance bseryance of Armistice to'that of the ob- servance of the Feast of the Pass- over, and the deliverance of the bond - (Continued. on Page Four) Ciy Mission Evangelistic Campaign Hear thep lain Gospel powerful1 proclaimed by Evangelist D.

Guild' vas held in the school room of St. Andrew's Church Mon- day evening, under the direction of the Missionary group. The Prescient Benson Hamilton, was in the chair, and after the opening; exercises and minutes, the little LaRue children sang a hymn in Chinese. Mr, LaRue then addressed the meeting giving some very interesting experiences he had while living seven and a half years in China. Mr. and Mrs, LaRue are mission- aries with the China Inland Mission and are stationed in Southwest China among the aboriginal tribes that were originally driven back into the hills where they have remained and eke out their existence. The Chinese are very polite and al- ways give a hearing to the Mission- aries when they go to their homes. They worship idols and are steeped. in spuerstition and it is very -hard for them'to break away,. They, are hon- est, hard working people for the most part and only ask a chance to earn a livelihood. Mr. LaRue said he had found many seeking after something that they know is better and Christ- ianity is really what they need. The speaker closed his address with an earnest appeal for more _mission- aries to go out and spread the Gospel in every country.

ANNUAL THANK OFFERING SERVICE Miss Mae Williamson, Missionary from the Bhil Field, India' was the Special Speaker. Large Congregation Was Present to Hear Local Missionary. The annual Thank -Offering service of St Andrew's Presbyterian W. M. S. was conducted on Sunday evening by their minister, Rev. Kenneth Mac- Lean, but in place of the usual ser- mon Miss Mae Williamson, of town, who is on furlough from the Bhil missionary field in India, gave a corn-. prehensive and inspirational address on the work among these people. She told of how India was in size. about equal to the Provinces of On- tario and Quebec combined, and was composed of British States and Nat- ive states .ruled by Princes. The Bhil district was one of these, but .that. anything she said about this field would not in any way apply to India as a whole, as even in as short a din tancc as 50 miles the customs, relig- ions and habits of the people are en- tirely different. The Bhils are an aboriginal tribe, who for centuries have had the same religion, language and customs. In India the people of one community do not marry with those of another and this makes it difficult for a sys- tem of government for all. These people are farmers living on their own farms and not in villages like the Hindoos. Their homes are very simple, there is little furniture and they usually sleep on the floor. Corn is the main crop and some oth- er small grains, and no matter how. poor their harvest they must pay their taxes to their ruler. There is no home industry among these people as there is in some of the tribes. The famines of India are not feared as they used to be as there are now good railroads, good roads and other means of transportation, so if a famine does occur the people will not suffer as be- fore. This does not mean that they are not in want. Miss Williamson emphatically stated that they were in want. During these famine periods the missionaries got their start. Many of the tribes of India are idol worshippers, but Miss Williamson ex- plained that the Bhils believe in spir- its, and mostly evil spirits. The blame all calamity and sickness on these spirits, thus the witch doctors. have powerful influence over these people and which makes it very difficult for the missionaries. During the cold weather evangelis- tic work is carried on by visiting the people in their homes, the mission- aries living right among them. She explained that religion in In- dia is taught in song so that the mis- sionaries used this method in their evangelistic work. The people are il- literate and no provision is made to educate the masses of the people. In India, she said, the expectancy of life is 36 to 38 years and as the Bhil people are just above the line of starvation most of the time and when they reach the age of 40 they are con- sidered old. She told of the hospital work and said much was lacking in equipment. Every worker in the hos- pital front, the doctor down is an e- vangelist. There are 210 christian children in the schools in this field where they receive religious instruction as well as general education. The teachers ata help in the evangelistic work. Tliey expect to have many native young men ready to go out among their own people and work for Christ, The girls are to be trained as nurses, bib- le teachers, etc. She told how in India there arc so many religions that it kept the peo- ple separate, but that Christianity is making headway as there are now 6,297 000 christians, but that there is plenty of work to do as the popula- tion pP tion is 350,500,000. Miss Williamson said that the life of a nlissionar was not all sunshine, , their path is oftimee difficult and dis- couraging but with the knowledge that "He is able" encourages them to onitl their work. gowo 1�. The service of praise was led by a ladies choir and Miss.Mvre MacDon- ald sang "He LeadethMe." Mi•. ,: W. McCool and Mr. Morris Christie spent the week -end in Tor- onto. They saw the game between the Maple Leafs and Canadiens on Saturday night.

The names of the groups were placed up- on cards, with the new members drawing for their respective places. The most important item was in charge of the "Mariners" who secur- ed as the speaker, Mr. Posliff, . who needed no introduction to a gather- ing of this nature, as the Y.P.S. had secured his services on a previotts oc- casion, The subject chosen by the speaker, was "Armistice"':. Mr. Pontiff. t \tlt••. , °returned man, and an ex - nor, presented his subject He outlined the trem- en; cosy. 'the• Great War, bath in flees and money, One thing, he stated, which was :• carried on duritrg the war was "some recognition for 'service perforni.ed" which 1te thought would be an ,excellent thing in civil life. He referred to the beneficiary be- tween Canada, and the United States, what,.nn example,'it was for the war- ring, nations.", In conclusion he stated "if public .opinion was strong enough against war, there would be no war. We should talk Peace :and not talk war." C. A. Y. P. A. HEARS FINE LECTURE Miss Doris Fell told of the ''Passion Play"; Mrs. C. Kingan was the Soloist for the Evening.

It commences at 8 a.m. and lasts until 6 o'clock in' the evening with two hours intermission at the noon hour. This play is spok- en all in German; but' one can follow the play as a manuscript is given each person attending, in any language they require. Miss Fells illustrated her talk with slides showing parts of the play and also some of the participants in their native dress. The musical part of the program was excellently given by Mrs. C. Kingan as soloist with Mrs. G. Han- na as her accompanist. She chose for her selections Tosti's "Good -Bye"; "Collette", "I went a Roaming" and "There is a Green Hill Far Away" by Gounod.
