Rev. W. Wren, M,A.B,D., writes,
An Interdenominational Evangel-
istic Campaign has been held in the
United Churoh, Pioton, Ont„ during
a period of two weeks. This cam-
paign was Sponsored by the United
Church in which all denominations
were uni.tel at which many Roman
Castholie,s were seen in attendance
at these meetings. It was the first
time that a whole community joined
for such a series of meetings; and
the regularity of attendance by Min-
isters and congregations brought
joy to a deeply interested town and
county, These series were conduct-
ed by Evangelist Gypsy Simon
Small,
About 17,000 ,Attended!
Picton has bad many Evangelistic
campaigns but no religious move-
ment has so deeply and widely stir-
red the whole community attracting
such large 'crowds and awakening
a profound interest in the things of
God. All churches in the town and
county have been grealtly blessed
and benefitted, Gypsy Simon Smith
has won a place in the affections of
the People and his work will travel
dortzr the years. We most heartily
endorse the men, his methods and
his mesasge, to any end all who de-
sire the assistance at one who will
render a real and +permanent ser-
vice through sane methods, spiritual
and 'gospel preaching through the
ministry of a much beloved 'Chris-
tian worker, We commend to you
Gypsy Simon Snrith. We want him
to come back.

Mr, Hendry, who has been i11 for
the past three weeks, was on Pelee
Island for 3 Years and disclosed
some interesting facts about it. The
island, *Melt is 16 miles from the
mainland, the most sowtherly pent
of Canada, would be entirely under
water if it were not for the dykes
and 4 large sestdonary engines, each
worth about $15(000.00, which keep
the water ,from inundating the
island. Because of these the taxes
are high, 3200 to 5300 for 50' acres.
The land is very fertile and is a
most productive farming area. The
main crops are tobacco and corn.
Thane is a nopulaal.= between 600
and 700. While the people are
prosperous, everyone owning a car,
and no one on relief, they are in-
clined to be backward. There is
no hydro and no waved roads, but
the roads are good. The telephone
service is very uncertain during the
winter.
The 'Post' with its readers extend
a welcome to Mr. and Mrs. Hendry
and family.
