HENSALL Church Notes— The annual Rally Day service of the Sabbath School was observed in Carmel Presbyterian Church Sunday morning when the school worshipped with the congregation. The minister was assisted by members of the school in conducting the worship. Miss Lila Moir and Billy Campbell read the scripture passages and Miss Betty Moir led in prayer. Misses Jean and Margaret Love added much to the service by singing a lovely duet, "Near to the Heart of God," Mr, Weir preached on the subject pre- scribed for the day, "The Bible in the Home," and dwelt on the import- ance of the home on the lives of the young and the consequent need of family worship in which the Bible would have a central place. The sub- ject of the evening service was "A Personal Matter." The choir under the leadership of W. A. MacLaren sang the anthem, "I cannot know." Announcement was made last Sun. day of a change in Sunday School ar- rangements in Carmel Church in which the school will meet immedi- ately after morning worship instead of at 10 o'clock as heretofore. It is hoped that the service will be con- fined to one hour permitting the Sabbath School to convene at 12.06, and the school will proceed immedi- ately to a study of the lesson. The new arrangement, It is expected, should be helpful to the scholars and more convenient for all who have to come some distance to church, and it is expected that the Adult Bible Class will grow in numbers and interest. At present the arrangement will hold for a month by way of ex- periment and then a final decision will be made. There will be a meeting of the Young People's Society of Carmel Church on Tuesday evening next when plans for the Fall and Winter season will be discussed. Mr. Weir will bring a message dealing with some modern religious aberrations. It is expected that at this meeting arrangements will be made to send delegates to the Christian Education Advance Conference to be held next Wednesday in Clinton at Wesley - Willis Church. The convention begins at 2.15 and is an interdenominational gathering at which the various prob- lems of Young People's work will be outlined and discussed.

This shipment consisted mostly of pear and ginger marmalade but there was also grape and plum jam. In all 12 cases of 12 cans (4 lbs.) each were sent on their way. This means that up to date the Women's Institute of our village have made and sent 1392 lbs, of jams and jellies and the end of their labors and generosity is not yet in sight. In addition there has been shipped through the Hensall Red Cross Branch on behalf of the Kippen East ladies, 17 cases or 816 lbs. of jams and they too have an- other and a larger shipment to get away.
