The day was exceptionally fine and the services were well attended. The church looked nice with its profusion of most beautiful gladioli and dahlias. The music for the morning service was provided by the local choir under the leadership of Mrs. L. Neilson with Miss Bernice Day at the organ and was well received. The congregation were glad to have with them again Rev. Kenneth MacLean, minister of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Wingham, who delivered two very earnest and timely addresses. In the morning Mr. MacLean took for his text, Jeremiah 6: 15 “Ask for the old paths where is the good w'ay and walk therein and ye shall find rest for your souls.” Prosperity, as it nearly al­ ways does, had brought Jeremiah’s people to spiritual disaster. They needed to be brought back to realize their dependence on God so that they might enjoy the peace of former days. Our need to-day is very similar to theirS and like them it would be well for us to return to some old paths from which we seem to have strayed. The family must ever be the unit in church organization. The whole fam­ ily in the family pew every Sunday is an ideal worth’ striving for. The old custom^of family worship if restored would' do much to mould young lives in the right direction and instil in their hearts' that reverence for God and holy things and that respect for authority and the rights of others which we seem so largely to have lost God still honours with His blessing the faithful preaching of His Word churches. For our salvation we are entirely dependent on God, “By grace are ye saved, through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” In the evening, Mr. MacLean based his remarks on Exodus 33: 11 “And he (Moses) turned again into the camp but his servant, Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.” To Moses had come, as it must inevitably come to. all, the time when for his own sake as well as for the successful carrying on of the work of the sanctuary, he must give up the active duties to oth­ ers, but there was still a place for him in the congregation. The church to be at its best still needs people of all ages. The enthusiasm of youth needs the steadying influence of mature ex­ perience. The young require careful training and wise advice. The Christ­ ian Church is unique in its ability to provide a suitable atmosphere for growth and expansion. Like Joshua, the young may still find in its service help and encouragement in the ac­ quiring of those great virtues, devo­ tion to God, self-restraint and cour­ age. • ■ ' The music for was provided by the Presbyterian under the capable direction of Mr. H. V. Pym and was a real inspiration to all who were privileged to hear Cleveland Stafford Following a long illness, Cleveland Stafford, of Wroxeter, passed on at the home on Friday, October lltli.

The use of suefat foods as white of egg, cereals, espec­ ially wheat and cow’s milk may causet asthma. Persons working under a severe strain are liable to attacks of asthma^. Before beginning treatment the phys­ ician must learn all he can about the patient and his surroundings, his gen­ eral health, the condition of the nose and throat and other organs common­ ly subject to infection, his association with pets, horses and other animals* the food he uses, the quarters for sleep and general living conditions. There is no circumstance too trivial in relation to the patient to be investi­ gated. In order to find the foods and for­ eign materials to which the person is. sensitive skin tests must be made. Ex­ tracts of these substances are inject­ ed into or rubbed into scratches in the skin. If, after one or other of these is so used" a red ring forms around the scratch in the course of 15 minutes to an hour, we know that the individual is sensitive. It may be that a feather pillow, cat’s or dog’s fur that are at the bottom of a child’s attacks. If so some other sort of pjl-, low must be used. If dogs or cajts are involved, they should be banished. There are tod fiiany dogs Shd cats about households. Most neighbor­ hoods could profitably do with two- thirds the number. Offending foods must be eliminated and every discov­ ered cause avoided. The X-ray is ef­ fective in the control of thymus asth­ ma. . , . . • . HERE IS ONE FOR THE BOOK ASTHMA andAsthma affects all races, ages sexes. In 40 per cent, of cases the dis­ position to asthma is inherited, that is to say that some member of the family has had hay fever, asthma, ur­ ticaria (hives) or some perculiar sus­ ceptibility to a food or odour. In the balance of cases the exact cause is un­ known, but it is known that certain conditions within the body are causes in many cases. There is a form of asthma which occurs in young children and due to enlargement with excessive secretion of the thymus gland. Bacterial infec­ tion is another cause, Asthma often follows common colds especially in children. Adults afflicted with bron­ chitis and emphysema have successive attacks a cold, in the tonsils, pelvis of elswhere may be causes.
