Mrs. Hess and Mrs. Hedden contributed a duet, “Ivory Palaces”, with Rev. R. A. Brook at the piano. The guest speaker, Rev. R. A. Brook, of Hen­ sail United Church, in his address pf the afternoon spoke highly of the work of the W.C.T.U. and spoke words of encouragement, asking them to persevere in their fight against intemperance. He spoke of the liquor traffic as a fifth' column­ ist in our war effort. He reviewed the main points of Premier King’s recent radio address: the banning of liquor advertising, in all Canada, the decrease of beer, wine and spirits released from bond, the less­ ened alcoholic content of each and the promises asked to reduce their sales to eight hours a day. He quoted Lloyd George as saying that the three enemies which Britain had to fight were Germany, Austria and drink, the latter the most to be feared. In the discussion that fol­ lowed it was decided to distribute literature lately published. \he two pamphlets mentioned were “Money Talks” and “Fifty Miles of Beer”. The president asked that at the January meeting a New Year’s resolution be given in answer to the roll call. Words of apprecia­ tion and thanks were extended to Mr. Brook for his thoughtful ad­ dress and to Mrs. Beavers for the use of her home. Benediction was pronounced by Mr. Brook.

Aftei* I regained altitude I retraced my steps,” he added, “but I couldn’t see any sign of Griffiths on the ice. Then I wasn’t sure that he dropped off before I regained alti-- tude.” Capt.

MORGAN, Clerk R.R. 1, Hensail, December 16, 1942 Christmas Sunday this year has three features that will not soon be forgotten.. There was the butter rationing that came into force on Monday morning and which ;was an- c'a I nounced by Donald Gordon of the War Time Prices and Trade Board on Sunday night. There was the coldest weather on record for that date. There was''the turning of the tide, it was firmly believed, ‘ in fa­ vour of the Allies, in the second world war. Church attendance was small at the morning services but the inter­ est therein was keen, the sermons good and -the music inspiring. At James Street the minister, Rev. A. B. Irwin’s theme was the glint on the horizon, in which he dealt with chastened optimism upon the bright­ er days he believed were coming for the Allies in the great struggle. At the Presbyterian church Rev. J. G. Galloway’s theme was “The Won­ derful Christ”. This -Child had noth­ ing- of an external character in the external circumstanced i of ' His birth to mark Him off from other children but His character is shown by what He has accomplished for humanity. He has proven to be the light and life and salvation. At Main Street Church Rev. N. J. Woods’ subject was “The Visitors to Christ’s Cradle”, the wise men seeking know­ ledge, the ordinary people who Crowded out a place for the mother and child, and the soldiers bent on cruelty. The preacliei* pressed home the query as to which class his lis­ teners belonged. At Trivitt Me­ morial Rev. J M. A. Hunt took for 'his theme “Christ, the Hope Of the World.” It was Trivitt’s turn to Jiold her service in the evening and took on a carol and candlelight character. The services of all the churches in the evening were of a carol and candlelight nature. ARE YOU RUPTURED?. Did You Ever Buy a Truss that Didn’t Fit?
