gratulated the boys in their achieve-
ment and advised them how to bo

no drinking a.ntl little smoking. He
stressed the desirability of the boys
striving to eliminate 'entirely these
things for the nett few years and

schooled to moderation, advised them
to be ambitious and to make the most
of available opportunities. He also
referred to the Lions Club's interest

Smitty for his kindness in giving the
banquet and named him as Seaforth's
number one sportsman. Spoke of Dr.
McMaster as a real helpful friend
who encouraged all sports, noted that
had it not been for Dr. McMaster tile
rick would quite possibly have been
sold for other purposes or dismantled
ere this.
J. E. Willis, the manager of the In-
termediate Hockey team told the boys
that before they can become good.
hockey players, they must be good
staters, that they would have to
skate as fast as they can and then
faster still. The rink management
then turned the rink over to the boys
for a free skating party.

LOVE IN SERVICE.
The winters in Denmark are dull,- long,
blustering and sunless, and it Is not easy to
make plants grow. Nevertheless, every poor
home las its window boxes and flower -pots,
and the little homes are often brightened
with smiling blossoms. 'Rho housewife is
proud of her flowers, and when she .speaks
of them she does, not merely say that she
has grown them. She says thatthey have
been 'loved up," The phrase, beautiful and
significant, is used of 'anything into which a
man puts hiswhple soul. He wne
