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 -

MISSIONARY SPEAKS
TO GUILD
The weekly 'meeting of the West-
minster. 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.

ST. ANDREW'S W.M.S.
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.

The service of praise was led by a
ladies choir and Miss.Mvre MacDon-
ald sang "He LeadethMe."

The most important item was in
charge of the "Mariners" who secur-

A. Y. P. A. HEARS
FINE LECTURE
Miss Doris Fell told of the ''Passion
Play"; Mrs. C. Kingan was the
Soloist for the Evening.
There was a large attendance at
the A. Y. P. A. meeting in St. Paul's
church on Monday evening when.
Miss ,Doris Fells gave a most inter-
esting talk on the "Passion Play" that,
she was priviledged to witness at Ob-
erammergau, during her recent trip
to Europe.
•This world famous play was first
staged by the people of this village
300 years ago, 1634, and every ten
years since that time it is again pre-
sented. The theatre is inthe open
and the setting is most beautiful as.
the backgroud is the Bavarian -Alps,
Six thousand people can attend each
performance and the seating capacity
is always taxed to the utmost.. The
characters in this play are wood car-
vers and those taking part in the play
range inyears from 3 to 90. One
thousand people take part in this won
derful,play which depicts the events
of Passion Week, from the triumph-
ant entry into Jerusalem to the cruci-
fixion of the Lord. There are 125
singing parts and a choir of 50 voic-
es. There is no stage make-up or
artificial lighting, the play being held
in the day time. 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.

will stage a "Stunt Night". This will
