Thank -Offering meeting held on Sunday morning in United Church. The pastor, Rev. W. A. Finlay, was in charge of the ser- vice and the special speaker for the occasion was Mrs. Ross, of Toronto. Mrs. Ross,'with her husband, spent many years as a missionary in China and so came well informed on the subject. She said one of the difficul- ties there was the fact that natives of different districts spoke different languages. She also stressed the fact that the Chinese Christians are anxious to give all the support they can to help their own people, and the need of literature in their own language, which is becoming a large part in our mission work there.

When they do come, there is always a cause for them—a cause thatcanbe overcome. Here is a little lesson on growing old, by a woman of 78:— "For the last five years I have tak- en Kruschen' Salts and I .tell you truthfully I could not live without them. I am 78 years old. , I have not a pain in my body, and I feel as young as I did at 48. 'I give the cre- dit to Kruschen Salts. No one . will believe my age."—(Mrs.) C.M. Most people grow old long before their time because they neglect one vital need of health — the need for internal cleanliness. Eventually they start the healthy Kruschen habit. Then, probably for the first time in their lives, they start getting rid ev- ery day of all waste matter from the system. And almost immediately they feel their youth has returned; they feel energetic and happy. In a word, they've got that famous "Kru- schen Feeling." returning Sunday, Mr. Wilfred.

U.F.O. ISSUES CALL TO FARM PEOPLE On Thursday, December 1st, dur- ing the week of their annual conven- tion, The United Farmers of Ontario will throw their doors open to all farm people of the province. In so doing they are giving a lead, looking toward the unifying of all agricultur- al forces, as they did last July in sponsoring a farmers' delegation to Ottawa. This farmers' mass meeting, which is entirely separate from the U.F.O convention, will be held in the Ring Edward Hotel, 35 King Street East, Toronto, opening at 10.00 a.m., and running both forenoon and afternoon sessions. The suggested agenda for the day is contained in a vigorous and virile "Message to the People of the Pro- vince" just issued by the executive committee of the U.F.O. which am- ong other things calls for the follow- ing: 1. The establishment of a Nation- al Economic Council for the purpose of giving special attention to the Problems of the distribution of wealth and to economic planning. '2. Immediate action by the Feder- al Government to effect: (a) Parity with the pound sterling (b) A reduction in interest rates (c) A scaling down of debts (d) A more liberal extension of credit; all of which will help stem the tide of liquidation, enable indus- try to function and raise the price level. 3. Immediate increase of the In- come Tax on large incomes to meet alt unemployment relief needs. 4. Rapid and drastic reduction of all customs and 'excise epics and sales taxes on the necessaries of life. 5. Immediate and drastic action to prevent over -capitalization and anti- sc cial financial jugglery. The introduction of other matters or measures designed to improve the present desperate plight of agricul- ture will be welcomed. All individual farmers and farm women are 'cordially invited to at- tend, as well as representatives from alt Township and County Councils, Producers' organizations, , and other organized farm groups.
