The service was held in the lovely grove adjoining the park; an ideal location for such a gathering. Rev. H. Bolingbroke, 13,D,, of Wrox- eter, presided, The hymn for the op_ ening of worship "All people that on earth do dwell" was heartily sung, after which Rev. - E. F. Chandler, 13. D., of Fordwich led. the company in the Lord's Prayer. Rev. F. W. Craik of Gorrie led the assembly in reading an appropriate selection from the' Psalms, which was followed by a selection by the community choir, "Lord God of Hosts be with us' yet, lest we 'forget.'' The Rev. A. W Barker, B.D. of Brussels followed with a loyal and spirited message from the text, "Righteousness exalt- eth a nation, sin is a reproach to any people." The visiting speakeresaid we had inherited a great life from the pioneers of this country who came in the early fifties to open up Ontario, and later the .great Western: lands. We have. our liberty, our law, our principles and our nationalism as a goodly heritage. We can never hope for brotherhood until we get the man- hood into the brotherhood. Let us get away from believingourselves as the only nation; let selfishness be dri- ven away,let us remember the cross of Calvary. "0 cross that liftest up my head, .I' dare not ask to fly from thee." Righteousness exalteth a' nat- ion, but what does' righteousness in- clude? Surely freedom, truth,' prin- ciple, deeds, love, and brotherhood, spring from a righteous life. May the t challenge accept ehalle ge of this new day honoring our God. Mr. Geo.` Spotton M.P. was called upon for an address. Mr. Spotton in an able way suggested 'a change in our immigration laws. Let us peo- ple this Dominion with British stock. The flag under which wemeettoday is the flag under which we wish to continue. Whole provinces in the West are practically controlled by foreign people; there are constituen- cies which find it difficult to work under our flag ag acrd for British prin- ciples. Mr. Spotton in very force.: ful words made .a plea for training the young people to appreciate the privileges of this nation, After these stirring words the aud- ience sang "Lord of the lands make Canada thine own. Rev. F. W. Craik offered a Prayer of national thanks giving. The choir under the able leadership of Mr. H. E. Cooke of Gorrie rendered a selection "Lord- of the Nations." Rev. H. Bolingbroke spoke briefly and refferred to ,the value of a com- munity service and announced that the service wieuld be held annually on the first Sunday in July. The large assembly then sang "Lead kind- ly -light", after which, Rev. E. F. Chandler pronounced the' benediction. The committee in charge 'appreci- ate the help of all those who render- ed service. About 800 people attend- ed the meeting which in every way was successful. THE LATE THOMAS GIBSON The Village of Wroxeter sustained a distinct loss when Thomas Gibson, eldest son • of the late John Gibson lana a• r v t his home here on Sun- poses Y 3, Sten - day. Mr, i c<t Gbon in s as Iii, 68th year Y w5 and had been a particielarly healthy man 'until overcome, with a severe form, of heart trouble a: few months egci, He had engaged in the lumber' and sawmill business since early 'Man- hood, going to Winnipeg 25 years ago to take charge of the sawmill busi- ness of his brother, the late John R, Gibson.

Quite a number 'from this part at- tended the service in Wroxeter on Sunday: OBSTRUCTED AN OFFICER Alex, McNab, who was implicated' in an affair in Mildmay during Old Home Week, when. Provincial Con- stable Walker of Gtielph, interferred with a dice game, being conducted on a street corner in the early hours of the morning, was assessed $25 and costs, by Police Magistrate in Walk- erton,last week, when he pleaded guilty to a charge of obstructing an officer. In the presence of a crowd of over 300 people, antagonistic to the officer, Constable Walker withdrew, but took action later, ere and There (IS) With concrete now up asfar as the first bedroom windows and steel up to the fourth, the Royal York C. P. R. monster hotel in Toronto is well up to schedule and is expected to be completed in time for the opening next May, notwith- standing the 'short strike of the steel and building trades. W. M. Van Valkenburg, president of the Regina Board of Trade,•says that his city and province are out to capture industries. That is one reason for his visit to Montreal and the Eastern States. He figures that the mineral resources of the province should provide the basis of a number of industries, as 42 per cent of the provincial area lies within the pre -Cambrian shield. Inauguration of the new New York -Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, pas- senger ship sdrrvice recentl1 repre- sented the first entrance of a ver• rel from New York tato Yarmouth harbor" for thepast 20 years. this was the S.S.

She is of 5,000 tons and her sailing connects with the Dominion Atlantic Railway and so enables tourists to reach Nova Scotia sea and holiday rasaYts. This summer will witness a great deal of activity on the part of the grain companies as well as the Wheat Pool in the construction of elevators at country points in Al- berta to take care of the larger harvests which are expected. An- other company which has just an- nounced its intention to enter on a construction program is the Gil- lespie Grain Company. According to John Gillespie, president, the firm plans to erect six' new eleva- tors each with a capacity of 40,000 bushels. Musicians under the leadership of Flight Lieutenant John A. Anvers, forming the band of the Royal Air Force, Britain's young- est military band, landed recently at. Quebec titan Canadian Pacific liner Montnairn, for a tour of Can- ada from coast to coast, as did the hand of the .Coldstream Guards last year. This aggregation was formdd . in June, 1920, and since then has fulfilled engagements all over the British Isles. The band will play in all the principal cen- tres, military centres and garrison towns of Canada during their tour here. "First call for dinner!"

As a result of the immediate popularity, it has already been found necessary to place these cars in service on other trains of the company, and since June 20, these cars have been in service also on the ten o'clock night trains between these two cities. The single room sleeping car meets the demand of those who require a little additional comfort and privacy during their travels. Each car contains fourteen single bedrooms, and each room is completely fitted with toilet requisites. The cars, introduced in Canada for the first time by the Canadian National System, are designed especially for night journeys, where the passenger boards the train between ten o'clock and midnight, and reaches .his destination at an early hour next morning.., As they are not intended for daytime travel, there is no additional seating accommodation in the bedrooms. In these rooms, which are delightfully decorated, the passenger finds a real bed awaiting, which is placed cross -wise of the car instead of lengthwise as in the case of an ordinary sleeping -car berth. Each pair of rooms have a connecting door, so that couples or parties travelling together may use this door, which, however, has bolts on each side for use when the rooms are sold individually. The rooms are equipped with every device for the comfort and convenience of the passenger and are filling an important place in furnishing the traveller with added comfort and convenience during his journey. C These cars are operated in addition to: the club cars and' other latest equip- ment which has become a recognized feature of the all -steel Canadian National Railways trains between the two cities. 3b \\\ �7\`,\ \\ \\\, �\\\;,,.� , �vv\\ .\\..,••si.\ • x`11/ f C*i1 tt.•'�T �.FYPF71119t..».J F1E "Bigger and Bette?'
