his assistance. Mr. ruckey had the
disabled truck in tow and when near

HARVEST HOME SERVICES
j Large Congregations at Janies Street
Church Appreciate Splendid Ser
mons and Music
Harvest Home services under the
auspices of the Women’s Association
on Sunday. The church was decor
ated with a profusion of autumn
flowers, fruits and vegetables. Large
congregations were ^resent at both
the morning and evening services
and particularly in the evening when
the large auditorium was almost fill
ed. The special speakers for the
day were Rev. Jas. Anthony, Mother-
well, and Rev. D. McTavish, London,
a former pastor. Special music was
provided by the choir assisted by Mr.
and Mrs. L. J. Yorke, soloists of the
Metropolitan United Church, London
Each of them sang a solo at both
services and in the evening they sang
a duet. Their singing was much ap
preciated by the congregations.
Both speakers took for their text
the same passage of Scripture: “Be
not deceived God is not mocked, for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap.’’ Mr. Anthony spoke
of the beautiful flowers, the fruits
and the vegetables. In the world of
nature God had provided flowers to
admire, with cellar and pantry well
stocked with splendid fruits and ve
getables. He spoke of the seed fall
ing on wayside places, amid the
stornes and thorns and the seed that
fell on good ground and he empha
sized what goodness means. Time
and service spent in the worth while
things of life may not be interesting
to some but it has its reward in a
life well spent.

sowing the seeds of the, old man he
is going to be. Harvest of human
