I just landed a few days ago so I missed all the fun, All the fruit clown here is ripe now. We have so many grapes, or- anges, figs and so on that we get tired of them. There is a vineyard about six feet from where I'm sitting now. The country here is very hilly and the natives have terraced it up so that it can be cultivated. I don't know what they grow, apart from the fruit. They never seem to do anything except scrounge. The soil hero is nearly all of volcanic origin and very rocky. This would be an ideal place to live from my point of view, The women seem to do all the work. I haven't been in any of the towns as they are all out of bounds to troops, But I have been thro' a few of them, They are built on hill- tops ford the most part. That is, the inland towns. We had quite a good voyage down front Scotland. It was a bit rough for a few days, but I wasn't sick altho' I didn't feel too well at times. I was sleeping in a companionway one night beside some barrels and one fell down and hit me on the head. I had a lovely goosegg and felt quite squeamish at the stomach all morn- ing.

Arnup of Tor, onto, Was Special Speaker on Sunday The anniversary celebration of Northside United Church on Sunday was very successful in spite of the rather disagreeable weather over the week end. Rev, Dr. Jesse II. Ammo,' of Toronto, secretary of the l' oreign Mission Board of the United church' of Canada, brought most interesting' and instructive addresses to the coni gregations at each service. The morning subject, "Why I Go To Chards" opened up the whole questiou of the place of the Christian church in one's personal life anti in community and national life. The speaker based his remarks on the early church as pictured in the Acts of the Apostles, where it was evid- ent that the church provided worship,' instruction and fellowship to such as believed in Jesus Christ. Whether in a poor or great community, the peo- ple of all ages and classes receive benefits essential to their highest happiness and peace. The evening subject was. begun with a review of the situation which prompted Sir John Bowring, one time representative of the British Govern- ment in Hong Kong, to write the hymn entitled "In The Cross of Christ I Glory." The cross remained' aloft and conspicuous long after the building beneath was wrecked and ruined. Dr. Arnup on his visit to the foreign missions of the church, had visited this spot and many other notable places in China, Japan, Korea, India and Africa, He sketched the history of the church to reveal how the cross had survived in spite of the many calamitous times recorded. Above the devastation and ruin in our world we would also find the "Cross of Christ" "Tow'ring O'er the Wrecks of Time." The choir of the church contributed special numbers which greatly en- riched the spirit of the servipes, Two anthems were used in the morning service, "Who Are Those In Bright Array ?" and "My Task." .At the evening service a ladies' chorus, "At Evening Time" was sung, and the choir sang, unaccompanied, "Lord Open Thou Our Eyes." A com- mittee of the Mae Lane Auxiliary artistically arranged the decorations of flowers and autumn leaves. The minister Rev. H. V. Workman presided at each service. In the evening he expressed thanks to all who had in any way contributed to the success of the anniversary and expressed appreciation of the with- drawal of the services of the Angli- can, Presbyterian and Egmondville churches, and the presence of Rev. A. W. Gardiner, who assisted in the service. Sl a year at Northside Church MORRIS-BRODHAGEN k very pretty wedding was sol- emnized in St. Thomas' Anglican rectory, Seaforth, on Friday after- noon, fternoon, when Elizabeth Lydia Caro- lyn, daughter of Mr. Herman Brod- hagen, Tuckersmith, became the bride of Wm, Arthur Morris, Tuck- ersmith, son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
