'Rev, J, ,P, MacLeod a former beloved Minister of Melville Church came from Weston to deliver the special mes- sages of the day. He was accom- panied by Mrs. MacLeod and their children Dorothy and Knox who were eagerly greeted and welcomed by many friends, The minister preached on the topic, "Broken Cisterns'' taking his text from Jeremiah 2:13 "For Wkly People Have Committed Two Evils; They have forsaken Me the Fountain of living waters and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water," He pointed out the abuses and Injustices of an unholy social order. He scathingly assailed hypocritical religion and warned against an erroneous con- ception of God. Throughout both services the choir under Miss Margaret Garniss led the service of song. Two beautiful anthems with solo harts taken by Hiss Addie .Cardiff and L1oYd Wheeler considerably en- riched the beauty of the services. The Bachelor Male Quartette of Listowel, Messrs Cox, Hewitt, Hei- man, Leopard assisted the choir and sang; impressively six inspiring numibets, At the evening service the min- ister welcomed the pastors of St. John's and Melville Churches with their congregations, Rev, J. P. MacLeod again preached a very eloquent sermon from John 20. "Cease your unbelief and believe." He spoke particularly to the young people on the subject "The Chal- lenge of Christ to the youth of to- day." He invited them to investi- gation, to predicate development, to presuppose suffering, the promise of reward, to accept Him now. THE UNITED CHURCH REV. H. J.

Partial Eclipse Glimpsed Here Through Clouds (:Stratford Beacon -Herald) Heavy clouds on the horizon pre- vented observers from seeing the total eclipse of the moon last night but as it elin:bed higher into the skies and the clouds parted in spots glimpses of the eclipse, as the earth's shadow began to move off the face of the spoon, could be seen The clouds, however, spoiled any chant'es of getting a good view of the phenomenon. Dr, H, It Kingston, head of the astronomy department of the Uni- versity of Western Ontario, said the view was most disappointing and no useful observations could be tirade 'through the clouds. No one here saw the moon while the eclipse was total and that was really the most important part of the rare occurrence. Quite often one may get a glimpse of a partial eclipse Mut a total eclipse Is Very tare, .By the time the noon had risen above the clouds on the hop loon the eclipse was only partial.
