FINE ANNIVERSARY.—In connection with the Methodist church the most successful anniversary services for years were held on Sunday last. Con- gregations wire very large at both services. Pastor, Rev. Mr. Holmes, was in charge, wLile the sermons m n s wore preached byRev. Simon Edwards a c very able t speaker of Hamilton. In P ea the morning, after a brief talk to par- ents and children, in which he strong- ly emphasised the great need of more Bible study and religious training in the Thome, he took his text from Dent. 8. 11.14. In the evening his subject was from John 12.24: "Verily, verily, I trey unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone ; but if it die it bring - forth much fruit," where Jesus appeals to a well known fact in Nature which he first applies to himself and then hisdiecipples• He warned against becoming self-centred, which will work failure and ruin, while ott the band, the man who regards his life here as a means and is willing to sac- rifice it to the higher end which God for then [Mall he find has in view or him, his life and kep it. Most Suitable music was well given by the Choir and the church nicely decor - That the Autumn meeting of 1922 be held in 'ncardi e, ,,livening session, whish was ;largely attended, was made interesting b ad- dresses from Mies Ada Rose, frreorly of Brussels, a returned missionary fron China, and from Rev. D. 0, . Mo. Gregor, London, Choir rendered anthems and a quartette by' Mies Hyslop, sopt'ano, Mts. Weir, alto, 0. Richardson, tenor, and T. P, McDon- aid, base, was much enjoyed. Miss Rose in her address told of: `the ordinary events in the daily routine life of a nuseionary in China, and of her work in the schools of which she liae charge. Mise Rosa has a way of telling the events that carries you along with her as she visualizes carries, step by step. The people of China are very much like any other people except that their customs are differ- ent, their educational system not of the best and their spiritual awakening dependent on missionaries. Their present missionary premises are only rented and while Miss Ross stated that they had the money to purchaee permanent premises of their own it was almost imposeible to do so as the Chinese owners were always reluctant to sell and she asked the prayers of the Union in their behalf for per- manent premises. Mo. McGregor in his opening re- make said that Knox church had established a record in Missions and hoped that she would always be a missionary example. He recited the world's condition of unrest and Can- ada's part in it and said that we must become a homogeneous people before we can become a success as a nation. So many people today were harking back to pre-war days, but this was all wrong. We must have new condi- tions, and to go back would be to deny progress. Humanity may look forward to the future and try to ad- just itself to present conditions. He warned the young people of some of the things that would cause trouble such as class interests, race prejudice, religious bigotry, political ambitions, and ventured that the future of our country depended on leadership, and this leadership must come from the young people of today. There never was a time when greater responsibil- ity rested on the young people both socially and nationally, and he urged them to choose leaders of high stand- ing in any public office. Christianity can be expressed on the ballot for our Christianity should be real ands prac- tical. It was his contention that the present world needs a change of heart. New President occupied the chair. Vote of thanks to those taking part and to Teeswater Y. P. S. O. for their hospitality was passed. Presbyterian Young People.

Mr. Holmes, was in charge, wLile the sermons m n s wore preached byRev. Simon Edwards a c very able t speaker of Hamilton. In P ea the morning, after a brief talk to par- ents and children, in which he strong- ly emphasised the great need of more Bible study and religious training in the Thome, he took his text from Dent. 8. 11.14. In the evening his subject was from John 12.24: "Verily, verily, I trey unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone ; but if it die it bring - forth much fruit," where Jesus appeals to a well known fact in Nature which he first applies to himself and then hisdiecipples• He warned against becoming self-centred, which will work failure and ruin, while ott the band, the man who regards his life here as a means and is willing to sac- rifice it to the higher end which God for then [Mall he find has in view or him, his life and kep it. Most Suitable music was well given by the Choir and the church nicely decor - That the Autumn meeting of 1922 be held in 'ncardi e, ,,livening session, whish was ;largely attended, was made interesting b ad- dresses from Mies Ada Rose, frreorly of Brussels, a returned missionary fron China, and from Rev. D. 0, . Mo. Gregor, London, Choir rendered anthems and a quartette by' Mies Hyslop, sopt'ano, Mts. Weir, alto, 0. Richardson, tenor, and T. P, McDon- aid, base, was much enjoyed. Miss Rose in her address told of: `the ordinary events in the daily routine life of a nuseionary in China, and of her work in the schools of which she liae charge. Mise Rosa has a way of telling the events that carries you along with her as she visualizes carries, step by step. The people of China are very much like any other people except that their customs are differ- ent, their educational system not of the best and their spiritual awakening dependent on missionaries. Their present missionary premises are only rented and while Miss Ross stated that they had the money to purchaee permanent premises of their own it was almost imposeible to do so as the Chinese owners were always reluctant to sell and she asked the prayers of the Union in their behalf for per- manent premises. Mo. McGregor in his opening re- make said that Knox church had established a record in Missions and hoped that she would always be a missionary example. He recited the world's condition of unrest and Can- ada's part in it and said that we must become a homogeneous people before we can become a success as a nation. So many people today were harking back to pre-war days, but this was all wrong. We must have new condi- tions, and to go back would be to deny progress. Humanity may look forward to the future and try to ad- just itself to present conditions. He warned the young people of some of the things that would cause trouble such as class interests, race prejudice, religious bigotry, political ambitions, and ventured that the future of our country depended on leadership, and this leadership must come from the young people of today. There never was a time when greater responsibil- ity rested on the young people both socially and nationally, and he urged them to choose leaders of high stand- ing in any public office. Christianity can be expressed on the ballot for our Christianity should be real ands prac- tical. It was his contention that the present world needs a change of heart. New President occupied the chair. Vote of thanks to those taking part and to Teeswater Y. P. S. O. for their hospitality was passed. Presbyterian Young People.
