T. W. Jones, : M.A., D.D. In the afternoon. the ministers of the Huron Presbytery gathered for a conversation with Dr, Jones and :at- er were served supper by the ladies of the congregation; In the evening the church was well filled by people of the community and visiting friends to hear the Moderator give his illus- trated lecture' on "Britain in Peace and War." The pictures Were for the most part beautifully colored and showed the loveliness of the Old Land to fullest advantage in the views o, Britain in. peace. Terribly vivid w scenes thrown on the screen portray- ing the, dreadful devastation of war and bringing before the minds of the onlookers how . deeply the Mother Country has suffered in the past few years. Ali who were present were deeply moved at such sights of dese- cration that involved so much" -de- struction and loss of life• The lecture had its other side, however, for throughout the evening Dr: Jones proved himself a master of humour, as well as pathos. His fund' of stories kept the audience thoroughly alert and constantly had his hearersg In ripples of laughter, though often • a bump came to the throat and a tear to the eye. Dr. Jones, though preserving the august dignity of his high office, is essentially a man of the people, who though he walks• with kings, never lobes, the common touch. Vibrant with''energy, he is fluent to the high- est degree and maintains without seeming ,effort ,the interest of • his hearers. Great is his humility and devoted so deeply to the cause of .God, he will be remembered by the people of the United Church of Canada in the words of the chairman for the evening, the Rev. A. Hinton, as "the Moderator with the merry heart and shinint face." Altogether Dr. Jones' visit will Long be remembered by the folk of Ki ppe n and vicinity as a high honor and great - privilege.
