NEWS FROM THE DIFFERENT
CHURCHES
On Tuesday evening June 1st,; the
members of the Philaletha Bible
Class met at the home of Mrs. ;(Rev.)
M. M. Bennett: The meeting opened
with the singing of "The Maple Leaf
Forever" after which Mrs, W. D,
McIntosh led in prayer.
After the business meeting, Miss
Bessie Abell favoured the girls with
a piano solo which , was much appre-
ciated,
Another feature; of special interest
of the class, was an address given by
Mrs. Bennett, on her recent motor
trip through the western Provinces
and the Canadian Rockies.
At the conclusion of this address,
Miss Blanche Irwin, the` class presi-
dent assisted by Miss Christine Ro-
bertson, presented Miss Franges
Moffatt with a silver basket of cut
flowers. After Miss Moffatt's reply,
Miss Jean Christie gave a vocal solo
which was enjoyed by all present.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in a decidedly novel contest,
after which lunch was served. The
meeting closed with the singing of
'Auld Lang Syne,"
The Reviving of the Old Roman
Empire, was the subject of the mess-
age given by Pastor Wardell Sunday
evening. He said according to Dan-
iel's interpretation of . Nebuchadnez-
zar's dream ten kingdoms would rai-
se and with then a world ruler. Tihe
late war wonderfully changed .the
neap of Europe to bring about this
condition. Italy started the war
with Germany but soon broke away
and joined the Latin Nations. Russia
started with the Allies, but went to
pieces and dropped out. She was
'not 'in the Old Roman Empire. Aus-
tria separated from Hungary, Hun-
gary not being part Empire was bro-
ken off from England. Ireland whi-
ch was nota part of the old Roman
Empire was broken off from Eng-
land. Other smaller nations were
placed back in their old position. Stu-
dents of the. world are watching with
ncreased interest the mighty hand of
God moving upon the nation get -
ng ready for the time when the
stone cut out of he mountains wile -
out hands will smite the Gentile Na-
tions, and Christ whose right it
s to reign will take over the govern-
nent of the earth. In closing he
quoted 2 Peter 3; x1, "Seeing then
that all these things shall be dissolv-
ed, what manned of persons ought ye
to be in all only conversation and god-
iness.
