A pomp and pageant filled the splendid some everywhere last Sunday and the gorgeous beauty of. the out-of- doors made mind and heart sensitive. and receptive to the quickening mete sages of the sermons and songs of the day. The sweet singer of the ilay from whom the Kipper people have cone to expeet good things, Was, Miss Feer! Wood, of Exeter, .Whose solos made clear that she felt what she sang.

God made the clharry, but he requires man's co-operation to build a cathedral. Let God and man work together, and we shall ,have a re- deemed humanity. The text of the evening sermon was, "All that the Father giveth me cometh unto me and him that cometh unto me I will in no wine cast out" John 6:37God will not oomlpei any to' coma to Him. necessary The oniy preparation for coming to Him is the sense of great need.

A. W Gardiner,, of the Egiirondvilie United' church, and Rev.

Will Meet at Harriston Shortly after the beer authorities were granted in Huron, Perth and Peel, a deputation waited on Premier Hepburn in protest. He suggested that they take the matter up with Ot• taws and stated that. he "would not prat. a straw in their way" in doing so. Meanwhile the matter was t.a.lirn up by the Ontario Temperance Fed- eration on behalf of these three roun- ties ,witlh the Department of Justice, and in February. 1925. an Order -in• Council was issued by the Dominion Government—submitting to the Su preme Court. of Canada the following questions: Question 1.- -Are the provincial lath -respecting intAtcating liquor as restrictive since the eciming into force of the Liquor Control Act of Ontario, acs amended in 1934, as the Canada Temperance Act? Question 2.—If the answer to Ques- tion 1 is in the negative, is Part it of the Canada Temperance Act in oee"ratinn in the said Counties of Perth, Huron and Peel?

Hawthorne, well known Seaforth old boy, has been appointed Fishery Guardian at Goidetream Riv- er, B.C, An ardentnaturalist, hunter and fisher, he is eminently suited for the position. The position is an important one. since barge numbers of salmon and trout • go up the river to spawn. 44 counties had, according to the deci- sion of this, the highest court. in the Dominion. been automatically lifted the moment the beer and wine amend- ments were placed on the statute book. The law was in force when Mr. J-lepburn's government, violated both it and its own Liquor Control Act by granting authorities for the sate of beer in these counties. The govern- ment still persists •in violating the law of the land. Subsequent to this decision, a large de ' of the three deputation representative p counties waited on Mr. Hepburn at Toronto and requested the withdraw- al of the authorities. Mr. Hepburn's reply was somewhat astonishing. 4tt was to the effect' that he did not agree with the decision of the Su- preme Court of Canada; that he worild not regard it and that even if the Privy Council uphld the Canada Temperanoo Act, he worrlii net eli-, .form it, and that in that event he would withdraw the, .provincial `lt forcemeat officers, and that ifo wowtd be no enforceiii'el t cit ^.0 .1 laws . in those aliiel a; &tear ti e'ort to anarchy unpataliel'eti 1ianientaY'y . iiatefyi ant e tIfr in the defence b icy lnstiVi ted vitt, wfl of this reopp1 15
