GOLDEN JUBILEE AN I he is survived by one son and one I HOW STORIES START, OUTSTANDING SUCCESS. The Golden Jubilee anniversary ofi North Side United Church which was' commemorated by special services on Sunday last, was an .outstanding suc- cess. The weather Was perfect and a gratifying attendance was realized. This was particularly true of the ev- ening service at which the large audi- torium was seatedto capacity, A word. -of appreciation is extended to all those from other congregations who through their presence • helped materially: in making the day such :a memorable one. Rev. S. D. Chown's -addresses will long be remembered as he earnestly and ably emphasized some of the, cen- tral truths •of olivine revelation and their value to human life, . Ifiis sub- ject in the morning was "Holiness," and itt the evening, "The Origin and Purpose of .the Bible." Special mention ought to be made of the music of ,the day. The choir, under theefficient leadership of Mr. Chas. A. Howey, gave several selec- tions which helped to create the spirit of worship. Mrs. W. F, Babb, of Stratford, assisted the choir at the morning ,service and her solo, "0 'Happy Day," brought softened mem- ories to many in the congregation. Mrs. A. W. Barker of Brussels, sang very effectively in the evening, "Con- sider and Hear Me," Mr. Howey's organ recital, Von'Suppe's"Poet and Peasant", before the evening service was pleasing. The offertory of the day amounted to $700 and t+he Official Board wishes to thank those who responded to the request for a special jubilee contribu- tion. The concert in North Side United Church on Monday evening was a de- cided success. The attendance was -large and many of those present have spoken since of how much they en- joyed the evening's entertainment. The program was admiratbly varied so as to appeal to those of diverse tastes, The members of the Sunset Male Quartette are singers away above the average, Miss Mortimer. the reader, also delighted the audience with her numbers. Her manner is very pleasing and her enunciation very clear. Her selections were fresh, not an old, hackneyed number being included and her range covered the tastes of young and old. The Ladies' Aid Society, under whose aus- pices the concert was given, is .to be congratulated on putting on a high- class entertainment, pleasing to so many. The prneeeds atnnunted to over $165.00. THANK - OFFERING MEETING. The thank -offering meeting of the W. M. S. of the United Church Met in the school -room on 'Wednesday af- ternoon, Oct. 19th. The meeting was in charge of 'Circle No. 1, with Mrs. R. Crawford presiding. The society was highly favored in having with their, Miss Mitchell, travellers' aid secretary for the W.M.S., who gave a very interesting and inspiring talk of the work. The Egmondville \V,M.S met with the ladies of North Side and enjoyed the afternoon. The Scripture lesson was read by Mrs. Frost, fol- lowed with prayer by Mrs. Beattie. Mrs, E. Bright sang a beautiful solo. also a duet thy Mrs. Willis and Mrs. Bechely was greatly enjoyed, A most gratifying thank -offering of about $120 was received, Circle No. 1, as- sisted by the heads of the other circles,. served refreshments. Y.P.Z. The Young People's Society of North Side United Church had a re- markably interesting night on Tues- day. The opening hymn No. 114 was followed by the usual business ses- sion, after which the lesson was read by Miss Dunclas. The report of the delegates to the Young People's con- vention at Walkerville was then given by Miss M. Scarlett. This report was full of interest from the beginning to the end and was well and clearly given. In particular the changed condition during the last few years was stressed. Formerly young. people were taught repression—now they practise expression, and the great benefit of the change is seen in the activity of our young people as a causative factor and moving power in all recent activities of church work. Following this, Miss Iia Johnson sang very nicely, "Abide With Me." Miss Elsie 'Pullen gave a reading, "The Smell Boy, pleasing the audi- ence by her humor. The Young Peo- ple's orchestra gave two much an - predated numbers. After the offer- ing the closing ,hymn, No. 909, was heartily sung and the social half hour of games followed, affording a well spent evening to all. EGMONDVILLE. ,Egmondville United Church will hold anniversary services on Sunday, Nov. fth, with services at 11 a.m. and, 7,30 p.m. The morning service will be conducted by Dr. R. S. Longley, and' the evening service by Dr. J. H. Arnim, both of Toronto. Both of these men are in'sp.itling preachers and it is confidently expected that large congregations -will be present at both services. Assisting t11c choir will be Mr. Sydney Walsh, one of the finest tenors of Toronto. Mr. Walsh makes a tremendous' appeal to all music lovers and none who can hear him should fail to be present• Mr. '4Vals'h wilt sing both morning and evening On Monday, Nov. 7th at 8 p.m, a splendid entertainment of a musical and literary character will be present- ed when Mr, Sydney Walsh will again be the main attraction. Short ad- dresses will also be given and greet- ings brought by the Chairman of Presbytery and some of the looal clergy. 'Those in ci e appreciate the tarp Pp courtesy of the 'Bowling Club in changing the date of its social evert Eng so as not to conflict with the suc- cess of the concert. JUDGING COMPETITION.

Also that some years ago near Toronto a large sum of money had been lost by chicken thieves during a robbery. So it was most natural far the two facts to join up enronteand travel as is. most exciting story. Margaret Williams, widow of the late Thos. Geary, died at her hone, Goderich street 'east, on Thursday evening, Oct. 21st. She was born in Hibbert tovensthip and spent her early years in Dublin, living with her sister, the late hire. Thomas King, Later she went to Vilance, 'Ohio, where she was employed on the staff of the "De- mocrat"_as type -setter for 25 years. She was married to the late Thomas Geary, who predeceased her six months ago. She made many friends while in 'Seaforth. She is survived by a number of nieces and nephews. The funeral was held from her late resid- ence to St. James' Church, where Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Goetz. During the offertory, Mrs. Leo D. Fortune sang "Ave Marie." The pallbearers were Messrs. Frank and David McConnell, Dublin; John Eckert, John R. Archibald, Jos. 'Dor- sey, Seaforth; and J. H. Dorsey, Stratford.
