Senior, Clerk JAMES $T, ANNIVERSARY | REMEMBRANCE SERVICE iLarge congregations were present for the anniversary services in James Street United Church on Sunday last. The guest speaker for the occasion was Prof, Fred Langford, of Emman­ uel College, Toronto, and a Granton Old Boy, whose messages were both thought-provoking and inspiring. The choir under the leadership of Mr.,W. R, Goulding provided some splendid music, two anthems being sung in the morning, solo parts being taken by Mrs. Williams, Miss Essery and W. Cutbuah. A pleasing solo was sung by Miss Pearl Wood. Two anthems were sung at the evening (service with Miss Ella Link taking an ob­ ligato part in one. Mr. Herbert, of London, sang a bosso solo that was much appreciated. A quartette was ■sung by Mrs. Stainton, Mrs. Gould­ ing, W. Cutbush, P, Vahey. Trivitt Memorial church and Main Street United Church withdrew their even­ ing service and joined with the James St. congregation. Associated with the pastor on the platform were Rev, Mr, Hunt and Rev, Mr. Elliott both 'taking part in the ser­ vice, At the morning service Mr, Langford took for his 'text “Speak Lord for thy servant heare'th.” He discussed the pathways wherewith we might find God stating that it was of supreme importance that eacih individual might find the Al­ mighty. The mind is one of the pathways. The question arises does God seek and find man or does man seek and find God? God has sought to reveal Himself and man is cap­ able of understanding that revela­ tion. The revelation of God is not ye't cTcised. He still has a. greater understanding of Jesus Christ for us to grasp—the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God. When we look around we see the inequalities .of man, the ha'te and jealousies. When we understand Jesus better we will apply his prin­ ciples to our life relationship to hu­ man society. God still speaks and it is up to us to cultivate the atti­ tude of listening. He is willing to ■speak to us of greater brotherhood. Too much time is spent in discus­ sions and not enough in meditation and contemplation. We need to be jarred out of our complacency into a new life of sacrifice. In the evening Mr. Languid •' to'ok for his text “I am coiwMhat1 'they might 'have life and’ that they may have it more abundantly. For the wayward and broken down in health three things are necessary to restore them to normal life. Work -to do; a chance to .play and some­one to love .and to b'e loved by. Not ■only do sick persons needs these things to restore them to normal life but well people need them to keep them from going wrong, A fourth great factor to make life abundant is worship. In Worship we get the mountain-top view of life. The (following will ’be the order of service at the Cenotaph on Sunday at 12.30 a.m. Chairman: Reeve W. D. Sanders Invocation—Rev.

Misses Ina Jaques and Doreen Westcott are in attendance. DIED IN THE WEST We are sorry to report the death of Mrs. E. J. Caldwell (nee Ida Mc­ Call) of Lawson, Sask. Mr. and Mrs. Caldwell visited here two weeks ago with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Ryckman and Mrs. Horney and Miss Horton. NOMINATIONS Municipal nominations are just a little over two weeks away. Nom­ inations will be held Monday, No­ vember 26, and elections, if neces­ sary, will be held Monday, Decem­ ber 3rd. iSo far there \ has been little stir. The .term of Paul Coates chairman of the Public Utilities ■Commission expires this year, A.- mong the members of the Board of Education whose term expires are Mrs, Beavers, Thos. J'ones, W. H, Penhale and S. M. Sanders, MASQUERADE (A Hallowe'en masquerade party ■was held at the home of Mi*, and Mrs, A. O. Elliot on Wednesday evening last hy the James, Street church. Many weird and gruesome figures appeared at the d'O,or where they were received by a gli'ost and ushered into the rooms which were decorated suitably (for the occasion. Games and contests were enjoyed after which pork and beans and a dainty lunch were served. A hearty vote *of thanks was tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Elliot by the Presi­ dent, Mr. Elford and seconded by Mr. Shapt'on for their kind hospi­ tality. We do not realize the important ■part that work plays until we lose. our Work. With the loss of our jobs we think of the loss of income [ to buy the necessities of life, A’ man experiences 'the keenest suffer­ ings when unable to provide for his wife and family, The church and state have a great taisk’to make it possible for every mian to have a chance to work. There is a mis­ taken impression 'that religion ex­ presses itself in worship but not in work. Any work that assists in meeting the needs of our fellow men is as much religious as worship in church, All toil that looks toward the well-being of man should be dignified, be he street ©leaner or surgeon. The drift from play to work t’O drudgery is not great. The speak­ er said tha't he knew something of .the unfair conditions on tihe farm, Often men feel that they have been forced into work from which they are not getting a just return for their labors. That someone high­ er up is reaping the fruits of their toil. They resent a state of society 'that forces work upon them at a price set ’by those in control. The speaker believes .that ithe religion of Jesus Christ shows us how to come to a basis of mutual under­ standing and agreement, Play is not only a lubricant upon ■the machine but a great creative factor in itself, a recreative power. Love is something that grips the depths of our soul and is perhaps the greatest rudder to keep our lives steady, In worship the indi­ vidual will meets and recognizes the Divine will and seeks 'to be as­ sociated with it, Christ came that we might have life and have it more abundantly. SECOND RELIEF CAR The second car .of farm produce to leave the station for Western relief left here on Saturday morning for Portreeve, Saskatchewan, The cai* contained about 25 tons .of mixed produce and was practically filled. As this car was considerably bigger than the first, some difficulty was experienced in filling it and an ap­ peal was made for produce io 'be brought in on Thursday last to com­ plete the car. The weather, how­ ever, wag so disagreeable that there was little response and the Boy Scouts of town organized an -appeal under Rev, J. H. Stainton and were successful in gathering up several tons to complete the car. Special!

HALLOWE’EN QUIET The Exeter streets were lively with spooks and goblins, witches and what-not as the youth, Of town paraded in costumes of all kinds on Hallowe’en. Many of them visited at various home where they wore treated to sweets and candies. Sev-, oral parties were held. Later in the evening groups of young men perpetrated some of the aigo-old pranks 'but we have not heard of any serious damage being done.
