MAIN ST. ANNIVERSARY
The anniversary services at the
Main Street United Church on Sun
day were a splendid success in. spite
of the inclement weather which pre
vailed during the day. The special
speaker for the occasion was Dr'. W.
R. McIntosh, of King Street United
Church, London, who delivered two
very interesting and thought-pro
voking sermons. The choir furnish
ed special music under the leader
ship of Miss E. Hueston. An anthem
was sung at the m'orning service
with -Miss Forsythe taking the solo
part and Miss Forsythe, Mrs. Gadd,
Gerald iSkinnef and Frank Wildfong
singing a mixed quartette. The male
quartette also sang. At the even
ing service Miss Hilda Sims sang a
solo in the anthem. Miss Forsythe,
Miss H. Di'gnan and Miss Mabel Fol
lick sang a trio and the male quar
tette sang. The quartette is com
prised of Harold and Gerald Skin
ner, James Francis and Frank Wild-
fong. A beautiful bouquet of yel
low mums adorned the pulpit. At
the morning service Rev. S. M. Gor
don, of Caven Presbyterian church
assisted w’ith the service, the Caven
congregation having withdrawn
their service. At the evening ser
vice Rev. M. A. Hunt and Rev. J. H.
Stainton were on the platform and
took part in the opening exercises
both congregations having with
drawn their evening service. Mr.
McIntosh took for his text in the
evening, a verse from Revelations
"I John saw the Holy City.” The
chapter was the climax ot John’s
visionary writings written in code
to the Christians at a time when
the streets of Rome were slippery
with the blood of martyred Chris
tians. We have had visionaries in
all ages and the day of visions is not
passed. To-day we need men who
will consecrate their lives to the
building of a new order out of a. su
perstructure that has served its day
and generation. Walls, that in ages
past meant safety and protection,
are of little value to-day. The
great wall of China 16'0 0 miles long
on which four horsemen can ride
abreast offers little obstacle to the
Jap. There is room in the Great
City for all >no matter of what coun
try, or color or creed. The speaker’
referred to the splendid co-operation
of the churches of Exeter withdraw
ing their services to join with Main
Street church in their anniversary.
There are very many ways
of expressing our religion and all
have a. place in the building of the
Great City. The speaker spoke of
reclaimed lives. He spoke of one,
a man of influence who was indif
ferent and irreligious, whose whole
life and thought had been changed
by the power of the gospel, and of
another steeped in sin who while
yet under the influence of drink
heard the call of the holy spirit and
under Jerry McCauley, of New York
was transformed and lived a life of
usefulness. The gates of the city
open in all directions, three on
either side and are ample to hold
all who wish to pass within. But
it is not that we arrive safely with
in the gates that is important but
that we should give Of our best to
build this beautiful city of God. He
offered such a religion to all that
would accept.

C. R. HOWARD MENTIONED
FOR CENTRAL BANK
May Be Assistant Deputy Governor
A despatch from Toronto on Sat
urday reads: Although official con
firmation is lacking the name of
Case R. Howard is being prominent
ly mentioned in banking and indus
trial circles as probable assistant de
puty governor of the Bank of Can
ada the central banking institution
at present in process of organiza
tion.
It is understood here that Ontario
financial interests are backing Mr.
Howard' in opposition to a Quebec
agitation for a French-Canadian ap
pointee in view of the fact that Que
bec is already well represented with
the appointment of Graham Towers
governor of the Central Bank.
Mr. Howard is recognized both in
Canada and the United States as an
authority on international exchange
economics and banking and has had
years of experience in these particu
lar fields having been 25 years with
the Canadian Bank of Commerce, a
considerable part of which time he
spent in the foreign service depart
ment. He was for 15 years manager
of the foreign business department
Canadian bank.
The linking of the name of Case
R. Howard as Assistant Deputy Gov
ernor with the iDominl'on Bank of
Canada is of particular interest to
friends in Exeter. Mr. Howard is an
Exeter boy having started his bank
ing career with the local branch of
the Canadian Bank of Commerce.
Previous to that he spent a couple
of years .on the staff of the Exeter
Times. He and1 Mrs. .Howard have
been visiting in Exeter with bis
mother Mts. H. Gidley.
