In the evening, one of the largest congregations for many years gather- ed in St. Andrew's, the galleries being well-filled and the presence of old friends of the church and a large num- ber o fmembers of sister congrega- tions gave additional cause for re- joicing and pleasure. Mr. Tolmie gave an impressive and powerful appeal for right living, basing his remarks on "Be Ye Witnesses unto Me in Jeru- salem, in Judie, in Symaria and in the utterznost parts of the earth."

FAST HOCKEY BEING PLAYED BY THE LOCAL PUCK CHASERS Lucknow won a Junior Northern League game in Kincardine on Fri- day night from the Salt Block Crew by 3 to a. Lucknow Juniors make their bow to a Wingham audience on Monday eve- ning and will do it with some confi- dence, for they are on top of the lad- der in the league, The patrons of the fastest sport in the world, are asked. to give their support to this garne, for a win for Wingham will practically pat them tied for first position with the Lucknow sextette. How is it the town league fails to arouse more interest with the pttblic? Two nights have come and gone with two games each evening, and yet but a score or so of interested fans are on hand to lend a cheer or help pan the other side. Why the boys who are playing these games are the very chaps who will be holding positiens an the bigger league teams in a few' years, and surely they deserve some better encouragement. There is no leek Of aggressive interest in the games, every player puts in his best. Nor is it all a game of "shihny". Brils liant plays are fregtent, checking close and, fair, while the end-to,end rushes will qualify sotne, of the boys for speed contests. In the town league schedule the Pry Gunets combination Made a perfect fitting mitten for the Glove-snalsere— Otte without a hole in it. Yee, the Polishers just buttoned lip the Gloves by 2-0, a rather surprising incident. Then to demonstrate that the fresh egg business is just beginning nicely, the Aboriginies frosts Lower Town handed out a 4-0 defeat to the Pud- dlers and Moulders from the foundry —a rather hard-boiled thing to do, To say the least, both defeats were not deserved, so decisively, the result only being an incentive for a reverse sore the next game. On Monday night the Arena team took the High School boys into camp by 3-2 and they had little margin on the game to win. The disciples of Euclid state they will demonstrate before the season ends that higher education is superior to arty financial corporation. The same night the Clerk's admin- istered a shining white coat to the Lower Town boys, the score standing 3-0. Now next week just come out and see the boys play. Staticlihg Won Lost Pts.

In their efforts to, make this an unqualified szsccess, they were assisted by several good voices from the choirs of other churches, a co-operation that is most pleasing and comrnenda.ble. And that the combined effort had a vsartri response from the public was amply borne out by the large audience. Much of the credit for the success of the affair rests an Mr. F. J Hill, choir leader, whose efforts were well reflected itt the splendid re- sponse given by those taking part, Following is the prograname.,-- Organ Voluntaries, Miss Bassiee • Selection, "Prom Egypt's Bondage" Selection, 'Harker Unto Me," the solo "0 Come Emanuel" being taken most effectively by Miss Sarah Mac- Lean.

Mr. Willis- played a voluntary with excellent expression and was followed by a number "The Heaven's Declare" In "My Soul Doth Magnify the Lord," Mrs. D. Rae took the solo part with much acceptance. The choir gave two other numbers "tome anti Worship" and "Holy Art Thou," which with another solo by Mrs. Kingan and the National Anth- em brought the programme to an end. • SENIOR HOCKEY • The firSt Senior Hockey game in Wingham Arena this season is called for Friday night at fleso o'clock, when Ripley will warm up with the local puck chasers. While the locals got off to a good start in winning their first game at Kincardine, they are just as anxious to annex this one, for a win - puts the championship within reach. They must reckon with the Ripley boys, however, for they put ap a. great game last year and, now that they have a real palace at home, are all set to bring honour and if possible a championship to their town.
