YOUNG- PEOPLE VISIT ZURICH The Young Peoples’ League of the Main St. United church, of Exeter, payed a friendly visit to the Evan­ gelical League of Zurich recently. The program which was put on by the. Exeter League was very much enjoyed by our young people. The program opened with a hymn, after which Rev. Moorhouse, of Exeter, led in prayer. A saxophone solo by Mr. Marvin Howey, accompanied by M'iss Margery Medd, was very much enjoyed. Miss Vivia’n Hogarth read and explained the Scripture lesson. This was followed by an instrumen­ tal duet by the Misses GambriU and Grassick. After the singing of an­ other hymn Mr. Medd very capably led a discussion on “Young People, and the Problems of Modern Home Life.” This was followed by a num­ ber of sentence prayers. Miss M. Broderick gave a very interesting reading. Miss Helen Dignan then sang very pleasantly “Mother Ma- cree.” After the singing of another hymn and repeating the Mizpah benediction under the leadership of Mr. Ed. Aldsworth, president of the Exeter League, the first part of the meeting was brought to a close. Everyone then journeyed to the basement where a social hour was enjoyed.
