Service and
Growth
Great and permanent growth in any
institution is impossible except on the
basis of genuine service to the Public.
For 87 years we have aimed to give
a sound and comprehensive service
—yet withal a friendly and syn a-
thetic one—to our customers. Our
present strong position is a measure
of our success—but more largely a
measure of our usefulness. Why
not let us serve you too?

FINE SERVICE —Ou Sunday last the
annual Harvest Thankagivitg service
of Trinity church was held, It was a
beautiful day, roads good, church dec-
orated with much thought and work
.with grain, fruit and flowers in beauty
and abundance and the choir reverent-
ly and efficiently did their part in the
choral service, a very large pongee.
Ration being present. Preacher was
Captain Rev, S. L. 141cllegney, M. C„
Rector of St, Panl's church, Clinton,
who took his text from II Samuel 23
14 to 17 inclusive. A fitting part of
the service was dedicating a Brass
Alms Basin by Captain MoKegney, as-
sisted by Rector Hawkins, "In the
faith of Jesus Christ, to the glory of
God and in loving memory of Pte.
Gordon Moore, in the name of the
Father, the Sou and the Hoty Ghost.
Amen," Gordon Moore was a Trinity
church boy and fell in action Sept,
21st, 1910. The preacher spoke of the
fitness of these harvest festivities
where we assemble to thank God for
material things, which we should
thankfully receive, enjoy and use to
the honor and glory of God, The
aoriflce of thousands of men, like he
hose memory we lovingly honor to -
ay, men whose blood deluged the
elde of France and other fields in the
wful war that we might Have Liber' -
y and are able to -day to celebrate in
peace and prosperity and do not have
o pay tribute to the stranger. Are
e going to let this great sacrifice
Dunt for nothing.? When David and
hie army, in sight of his beloved
ethlebem, which was garrisoned by
the enemy, cried out in his longing
or Home, "Oh that one would give
e drink of the water of the well of
Bethlehem which is by the gate," lead
he water brought to trim by his 3
ighty men who dared everything to
et it, David would not drink it but
nured it out unto the Lord, an act of
vot'ship, David, in his appreciatinu
f such wonderful loving heroism
ould not drink the water that men
ad risked their lives to get, Can we
elfishly appropriate all the blessings
emitting from the heroism, eudutauce
ud even to laying clown of the lives
f our fellow men ? Nay let ns be like
avid and refuse to use the things
ot by the blood of men wlao went in
opardy of their lives unless we do
resettling in return, Let 1111 do some
t of worship. Start in our horses
id allow by our lives that this great
ori ce
fl Shall not go for nothing.
