Re-Opening Services
A Success
.The Re-opening service -of ,th^
James St. United Church were held
on Sunday last and large congrega
tions were present both morning, and
evening. On the Sunday previous
successful anniversary services ftere
field and on Wednesday evening a
Mot fowl supper was served to oypr
■one thousand people. The double
celebration marked the re-opening of
the church following extensive al
terations to the Sunday School par
lors and the installation of a steam
heating system for the building.
Storm Delays Preacher
Rev. M. C. Tait, M. A., B.D., of
■Glencoe, was announced to take
charge of the services but shortly be
fore the hour for the morning ser
vice word was received that the au
to in which Mr. Tait was coming to
■Exeter was stuck in a. snowbank
about two miles out from Glencoe,
owing to a (heavy snowstorm that
-was raging at the time. Fortun
ately for the congregation Rev. C.
W. Down consented to tqlye charge
of the service and he proved liim-
jself equal to the difficult task and
preached a very acceptable sermon.
At the evening service both Mr.
'Tait and the pastor. Rev. D. McTa
vish were present. Mr. McTavish was
to take Mr. Tait’s work at Glencoe.
He got within a couple of miles of
the town when his car became stall
ed in the drifts and he abandoned it
and walked the remainder of the
journey on foot preaching to a very
•■small congregation. The evening
service was withdrawn because of
the blocked condition of t'he roads
and' Mr. McTavish was able to re
turn home. Mr. Tait stated that it
was the first time in his ministry
that he had disappointed a congrega
tion and he expressed his regrets.
The speaker 'took for his text the
words of Hezekiah “By these things,
men live.” He divided his subject
into three parts: Certainties, Ser
vice and Salvation. Men do not live
by the physical alone, but by the
spiritual things of life. When
Christ was tempted, he said that
men did not live by bread alone;
when offered the wealth of the world
he turned them aside. President
Coolidge said that Civilization will
rise or fall according as it stands by
the religion of the Lord Jesus Christ
This is true of individuals, nations
and churches. The Church thrives
and grows only by spiritual things.
It should preach a positive, not a
negative gospel. The Church thrives
and grows by its certainties. There
was never a time in the history of
the world when a clear voice was
needed more than at present. The
world is crying out for some voice,
some institution to lead it out of
darkness. If the Church to-day can
find her voice and say the things
she aught to say, the world will again
get on the right track.
In touching on service the speaker
said there was no evil stalking our
land to-day that could not be curb
ed and killed if the Church rises up
in her power. It should' be a ser
vice of Love. No power on earth
like the power of love. He referr
ed to Mary and the costly box of
spikenard; of the Good Samaritan,
who came back after all the excite
ment was over to caije for the stran
ger. That Church is doomed that
turns a deaf ear to the cries of hu
man needs, whether at home or
across the sea.
Special music. was furnished
throughout the day by the choir and
they were ably assisted by Mr. Orah
Crawford, of Ripley, who sang two
solos at each service. He has a
rich baritone voice and his singing
delighted the congregation,
A special offering was received
for the building fund and amount
ed to over $1100.

The Voice of
Big Crowd at Fowl Supper
A hot fowl supper was served on
Wednesday evening and despite the
very unfavorable weather owing to
a snowstorm over one thousand
people sat down to well laden tables
and partook of a very hearty meal.
All were seated at the tables before
eight o’clock. Following the sup
per a fine program was given in the
auditorium by the London Ladies’
Orchestra, and their various num
bers were well received and heartily
applauded. The large auditorium
was filled for the occasion. The
ladies had provided one hundred
and fifty geese there being enough
fowl and other provisions left over
to hold a social the following even
ing at which there was a good crowd
The receipts amounted close to
$1100 and with the proceeds from
both Sundays the congregation rais
ed over $3000.
1 The re-modelling of the church
includes a new entrance which re
places the old main entrance and
makes a decided improvement to the
appearance as one enters the build
ing. In the basement of the buidling
2 new classrooms have been built be
neath the main entrance. Sliding
partitions have been built in the
main Sunday School room to form
eleven individual class rooms. Two
Permanent classrooms have been
built at the north of the main room.
The ladies have fitted up an up-to-
date kitchen; including a hydro
stove and a three plate hydro stove,
a large handy cupboard, running
water and serving tables that leads
to one of the main rooms. Two in
door toilets have also been install
ed. The rooms are well lit by hy
dro with porcelain fixtures that lend
a very fine effect.
It was reported in town that a
certain motorist was fined for vio
lating the traffic law® by carrying
bags of produce in liis passenger (
car. Such was not correct. The ac
cused on hearing the report wrote
the Minister of Public Works and
Highways regarding such circulated
infractions and received his reply to
the questions as follows:
Q. 1 May a motorist in a passen
ger car take such produce as bags
of apples, of flour,. of sugar, of
grain, etc,
A. There is no law which pro
hibits a person from carrying in his
passenger car any produce or ar
ticles such a® you enumerate.
Q. 2 May a motorist (providing
the right .side of a gravel highway
is rough and providing no other car
is passing or approaching) take
left side of the road?
A. There is no objection
providing no other traffic
proaching or attempting to

Highway Traffic Act.
Q. 3 May a motorist loan ihis car
to a friend to drive? If, in such a
case, an siccident happens who is re
sponsible the owner, or the driver?
A. A motorist may loan his car
to a friend providing such friend
possesses an operator’s certficate.
There is, in case of accident, an onus
on both owner and driver of the car,-
but responsibilities varies according
