N. F. Chadxller. B.A., at North Street Church, Gode- rich, on Tuesday, Dec. 30th. On ac- count of the bad condition of the roads the attendance was not as large as usual- The call of Victoria Street Church, Goderioh, to Rev: Arthur J. MaeKaye, of Iron Bridge, in the Al- goma District, was sustained and ar- rangements were made for -his induce tion, pending his arrival in the Pres- bytery. The induction service will be in charge of Rev. W. E. Brenner, secretary of Presbytery, who will pre- side and induct the minister, while Rey. R. G. Burton, of Clinton, was ap- pointed to address- the minister, and Rev. R. G. Hazelwvood, of 'Benmilier, avid address the congregation. A somewhat new feature of the work of :Che church was presented by - inspector of Public Schools for Cen- , tie limn? Mr. Kinkaid, 4n the prob- lem Of Christian education in the pub- lic sohools. His address was very much appreciated, particularly his suggestions as to the most satisfac- tory methods .of giving such instruc- •teen- to the pupils, It was afterwards passed err the form of a resolution that we comlmeed this important uiat- ter to the consideration of the Chris- tian people of the county, with the suggestion that they co-operate with their teachers, ministers and school boaaels, particularly in rural area's, with a view to promoting a deeper interest in the question. In many of our town and city areas, the work is already organized wad carried on through the co-operation of the Min- isterial Associations: Rev. W.' P. Lane, of Goderirh, re- plorted having diad a very successful year in the management of the Gode- rich Rummer Schools and Camps, eit Ob'F.yet WHILE we celebrate this Season of Goodwill in comfort, our brothers, sisters and comrades across the sea live 'neath the shadow of death ... death let loose from the skies by the monstrous hordes of Nazidom and Paganism. At this season we are particularly reminded of the debt we owe to those whose service and sacrifice make it possible for us to enjoy our Christmas midst the carefree happiness of children and fond parents ... ;those valiant mem who patrol the' skies, man the ships, stand by the guns, and place their all — even unto life itself, between us and the enemy. How can we pay our debt to them? The least we can do- is to Save every dollar that we can and lend it to ,' Canada, so. that iCanada can provide everything in munitions ` and equipment to fortify these men for the defence of our country and our civilization. Our savings should be invested in War Savings Certificates, and we should continue to save and invest in War Savings Certificates until Victory is won. The widow's mite counts as much as the more fortunate ones' plenty, as evidence of service, sacrifice and determination. Sothen, whatever else you do at thit Christmas season, save and invest in War Savings "Certificates. The very consciousness of your service in the Defence of your horneland will make greater your personal enjoyment of Christmas. A W.
