Met at Wingham Pr. and Mrs, W, Beecroft were hosts to the Wingham and district Council of Churches at the United Church Manse, Wingham, on Monday afternoon, April 7th, The president, Rev, John Pollock presided. The scripture lesson was read by Rev. E. W. Todd, Wroxeter, while prayer was offered by Rev, R. A, Brook, Bluevale. Action was deferred until the next meeting on the motion of Rev, D, Procter, Teeswater, that the name, "The District Council of Churches," be changed to the "Wingham and Pie- trict Ministerial Association.", In a very stimulating paper, "Wat- chman, what of the Night," Rev. Matthew Baillie, Bluevale, gave some of his impressiens of Church life in Canada comparing it with conditions prevailing in the British Isles. In 1040 Mr. Churchill put the dark- est side before the cabinet. From the point of view of church attendance, the religious life of Britain presents a dark picture, but it is salutary to face facts, Church attendance in parts of England is at a low ebb but higher in Scotland and still higher in Ireland. While there is a deadly apathy to- ward religion there are healthy and hearty signs, the speaker said. Many are beginning to realize the futility of a Godless life, The C.B.C. with its ear to the ground, has discovered a grow- ing demand for religious broadcasts and is catering,to this public demand more and more. Many who do not go to church, sing hymns with tears in their eyes. A splendid ecumenical spirit has developed, with a willing- ness on the part of churches to co- operate. Corning to Canada recently, Mr. Baillie said he had been impressed with the verility of the church and the larger proportion of the commun- ity attending. On motion of Rev. C. B. Woolley, the thanks of the members was ex- pressed to the speaker for his illum- inating address and to the hostess, Mrs. Beecroft, for the delicious lunch served. Robert Thomas Earl -Was Respected Howick Resident The Women's Auxiliary of St. Paul's Church, met on Thursday afternoon, April 3rd., in the basement of the church.

A chapter of the study book "Look- ing South," dealing with the church schools and other educational facili- ties in the countries in South America where our missionaries are, working, was read and discussed.

He was known to many of the students as "the old gentleman" and he was a gentleman in every way. Mr. Carr always had a ready smile and a cheer- ful word in spite of muddy shoes, spilled ink, mislaid books and all other things that go together to make the school harder to keep clean and tidy. It is with great respect and admir- ation that the staff and students of W.D.H.S, will remember Mr. Qarr. Jokes It was examination time in compos- ition and grammar. The teacher dir- ected the class to write a brief ac- count of a baseball game, MI the pupils wrote busily except one boy. Just as the elicited time was about to elapse, he suddenly awoke to life and scrawled a sentence just in time to turn in his paper which read. "Rain, No Game."
