their respective billets for dinner.

Mr. Uren, Chairman of the District iu
the chair, After devotional exercises,
Rev. W. E. Stafford, B. As, gave the
words of welcome to the delegates

who spoke on Organization. He dealt
with it under 4 heads ,—Mobolization,
Adaption, Centralization and Co-
ordination, "How to energise the
League," was taken by F. R. Howson,

members interested by giving person-
al work ; prompt attendauce ; good
singing, cordiality shown at close of
meeting. President McTavish dealt
with "Spiritualizing the League" and

sion.

"Missions a patriotic duty" was
well handled by Rev, F. E. Clysdale,
of Salem, By a chart he illustrated
the work of Missions in Wingham
District Leagues and Sunday Schools,
Patriotism must find its basic princi-
ple in the Christian religion. The
flood tide of emigration into Canada
was pointed out and the necessity of
greater enthusiasm in Missionary ad-
vancement and our patriotism mast
be practically manifested. We can-
not afford to confine our efforts to our
land alone.
A choice solo entitled 'iA beam of
heaven" was well sung by Mies Grace
Walker, Brussels,
Discussion of Mr, Clydesdale's topic
was lead by John Andrew, Ashfield,
who filled the bill.

Jesus" was sung.
The closing address was a splendid
one, •'The Child and Nation building"
by Rev. A. 3, Langford, of Mitchell,
and was listened to with deep interest
as its importance demanded, It was
an eloquent and well directed appeal
to the adults to give the boy and girl
their rightful place looking to the

took of the evening meal.

service after which the new officers
were introduced and President An-

lent addresses were an the program.
Rev. E. F. Armstrong, Winghain,
spoke on "Power for service" ani
drove home the truth with earnestness
and power that was felt, Rev. Mr,
Langford followed, his interesting
theme being "Co-ordination of our
church forces" and fitted in admirably
well with the address preceding.
People felt they were well repaid for
coming to the Convention to hear
these well planned and sure aimed ap-
peals, which would be difficult to
supersede. The ladies' sextette sang a
choice selection, the choir gave a good
anthem and Miss Beatrice Whitfield
contributed the fine solo "The plains
of Peace,"

tion brought to a close a Convention
not soon to be forgotten.

More lay talent oh the program and

neatly decorated with emblematic and
National colors and symbols, flowers
and plants.
Reception Committee consisted of
Miss Lizzie Bryans and Miss Jessie
Cunningham who had a busy time but
stayed with it.
A dozen out of the 18 pastors in the
Wingharn District were enthusiastic
enough to atteud the Convention and
share in its uplift,
There were over 150 delegates in at-
tendance. It was a good sign of prac-
tical intererest in two moat important
departments of the church,

ONLY JUST CLAIMS
TO BE ALLOWED
Military Representatives on Exemption
Boards Receive Instructions.
London, Oct. 19.—That only 'men
who have manifestly Just claims for
exemption will obtain it in this mili-
tary district was made clear at a meet-
ing in the armories on Thursday after-
noon
fternoon of the men from the district who
will represent the military authorities
before e the various exemption tribunals
Lieut. -Col. H. D. Smith, district
mili-
tary
representative under the military
service act, addressed them pointing
out their duties.
"You must be absolutely conscien-
tious and politics of .any kind must
play no part whatever." he said in
opening his address. Any proof that
a representative had been monkeying
with the act, particularly along polit-
ical lines, would be the cause of his
removal as fast as a telegram or tele -
hone message could reach hint. Their
responsibility was second to none.
That few of the men called to act had
asked what monetary considerations
there were in connection with the po-
sition, he said, was greatly to their
credit. Their pay while actually em-
ployed, would be $5 a day, and in eases
where they acted in places away from
their home they would in addition re-
ceive $.3 a day subsistence allowance. •
Wants no Friction. I
Counselling them against friction
with the tribunals over trivet affairs
he advised then? to Ole an appeal when
they conscientiously believed the de-
cisino was a_wrong one. Good fair
cases should be granted exemption,
but the representatives, "all being
from Missouria," must be shown clear-
ly the grounds upon which exemption
is Justified, .

Why dots Canada Raise Money
by onds ?
ONDS are issued payable in ten or twenty years, as the case may be.
It means that repayment of the money will be spread over ten or twenty
years instead of being raised by taxation to meet current expenditures.
To raise by taxation all the money as fast as • it is needed to carry on
Canada's share in winning the war, would be an unbearable burden upon
the people.
It would mean that more than a million dollars a day would have to be
raised right now.
But to raise money by selling Canada's
Victory Bonds means that those of the
next generation WilO will benefit by the
sacrifices this generation is I :alai :
—who will share in the freecloln this
generation is fighting for and largely paying
for—will also pay their share.
* ;,-
And when you buy Cai'oda's � irtc,ry
Bonds you make a first-class business in-
vestment in a security that is absolutely
safe, likely to enhance in value after the
war, and bearing a good rate of interest.
You help the country i yt % 1 r; rte'1 n
the British market for Ca.:c.....a:l
and this helps the general welfare in which
you share.
* * *
And again, every Canadian who buys
it Victory Bond becomes a financial f' r+-'er
or hacker of Canada in. the war.
When you buy a Canada Victory Bond
you give a personal pledge that you are
going to help to win the war.
Every man and woman in Canada can
help to win the war by buying: Canada's
Victory Bonds. And Canada wants the
personal, individual interest and co-opera-
tion of every man and woman in the
COtllltry.
The buying of Victory Bonds by the
whole people unites there in. adetermination
'to win the war.
Every purchase of Canada's Victory
Bonds is a blow for freedom against the
tyranny of German Kultur,
r very bond sold is a new guarantee
that Canada is in -the war to the finish,
until victory is'`with the Allies and the
world has been made safe to live in.
Every bond you buy is a new pledge
that Canada will remain true to herself, the
Erni:--, the Allies and to freedom's cause.
Cu it is both patriotic and good busi-
ness to
:Bonds fBuy Cana a s Victory
Twined by Canada's \-:l::to r T„4::^n Committee

of the Dominion of Canada.
