GORRIE Interesting and impressive services were held in the 'United church last Sunday. After )brief devotional exer- cises the usual two minutes of silence were observed and profound respect :shown in honor of the sacrifices made during the World War and for the peace among 'the nations. The sub- ject for the morning Service was "Gracious Gratitude" and the minister sought to impress the congregation With the thought of 'not taking life's :greatestblessing for granted. Life's greatest blessing`is, that of a thankful heart. Shall we as a Canadian people appreciate the accomplishments of our 'nation during the past ten years. We will remember the brave men who, at the call of king and country, left all that was: dear to them, endured 'hard- ship, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of men by the path of 'duty that others might live in free- dom. Let those who come after see 'to it that their names be not forgotten A solo splendidly rendered by Mr. W. S. Gibson was much appreciated. The choir sang a Thanksgiving selection, 'How excellent is Thy tame in all the earth".. At the close of the ser- mon Mr. W. S. Gibson and Mrs. E. Chislitt of Listowel, sang a duet, "I heard the voice of Jesus say", accom- panied by Miss E. Stephens. 'The congregation joined heartily in the service of praise.

Mr. Craik had for his subject "Let us re- member", and dealt with the patriotic spirit. Shall we remember the means of grace, the daily reading of the Bib- le, the saving of our young people, and meet our Christian obligation in Canada. The choir sang, "In mem- ory of those who died", Miss Jean Black sang appropriately, "We think of the boys in Flanders Fields". A splendid spirit prevailed in the ser- vices. Bronchitis, Chest Affections Soothing and healing in its ac- tion, ANGIER'S EMULSION is an effective remedy for children's ailments --par- ticularly colds, coughs, bron- chitis and whooping cough. It is also a safeguard against the chest complications associated with measles, scarlet fever and grippe. Angier's loosens the phlegm, relieves the soreness of throat and chest, and its cleansing action removes body impurities, thus hastening the patient's recovery. ANGIER'S is an emulsion of puri- fied petroleum oil with hypophos- phites (lime and soda). It is pleas- ant to take, builds up strength and vitality, and can be given to the children with absolute confidence. For over thirty-five years ANGIER'S EMULSION has been endorsed and prescribed, by the Medical Profession of Gt. Britain and Canada and used in Children's Hospitals. A British Doctor writes: "I consider your preparation superior to any other emu: - 'ion or preparation hat.ind the same or similar claims." (Sgd.>---M-D. ANGlER'S.

A primitive age—rough and relentless, and its people were primitive to a degree hardly conceivable in this age. Rough, hard living was lightened by rough hard play and such church festivals as Christmas were celebrated in carousing and high revels by those as could command the means for such employment Religious teaching came to the mass of the people only by word of mouth, and as a means of making the New Testament stories living and understandable, in- cidents of the Bible story were presented in simple plays as primitive as the understandings of their audiences. They were called Mystery Plays and one of the first of them, and, therefore, perhaps, the first of all plays to be performed in England was the story of the adoration of the shepherds and the Magi, written by Randall Rigden, a monk of Chester Abbey. and first performed at Christmas in the year 1328, just six hundred years ago. From that day to this is a long time, but there has been a revival of interest in the beautiful things of mediaeval days, and a few years ago the Chester Mysteries were brought to. Canada and presented for the first time in America at Hart House Theatre, Toronto University. There they met with instantaneous success, and for several Christmases were a feature of Toronto's holiday celebration. Later they were pre- sented as part of a Christmas service in the chancel of the church of St. Mary Magdalene, Toronto. It will next be seen at Victoria, B.C., as part of the old English Christmas celebration that is being arranged to take place at the Empress Hotel there this year. It will be the central feature of a notable revival of the Christmas customs of England dating from the middle ages down to the time of Dickens and Mr. Pickwick. In the costumes of that periods, singers, actors and musicians will, between Christmas and Twelfth Night lead the revels and the entire celebration will wind up with a costume ball. Victoria is already famous as a winter resort. Its mild, pleasant weather permitting golf and motoring practically every day and its wonderful salt -water swimming baths have made the most English city in North America an ideal place in which to spend the winter, and with the pro- gramme of Christmas revels it is likely that the number of visitors to that city from the prairies and from some of the western states will be unusually large. 10th CON.

It is a Thanksgiving season at any rate. Thanksgiving to our everlasting God, the only Given of victories, and the only Giver of food to all flesh. Charles Wesley, whose heart was like an aeolian harp, touched to music by every wind that blew, and whose pen wrote hymns for every circumstances of life, and for every feeling of hum- anity, was set to writing it at this time of year for just such services as will be held next Sunday. Charles was the eighteenth child and youngest son of a devout, learn- ed and talented Church of England the and was born in t to Rec- tory of Epworth parish, Eng., Dec- ember 18, 1707, His eldest brother Samuel, was a teacher in the famous old school of Westminster, within the very precincts of the Abbey, and he provided Charles with his board and education. While there, a wealthy Irish gentle- man of the same name, wrote his fath- er, offering to adopt Charles. A large ,fortune went with the offer, but when laid before the young fellow, was refused by him. He elected to re- main a member of his father's gener- ously large family. Having obtained a . scholarship which paid most of his expenses there Charles Wesley went to Oxford and graduated taking a very good degree. It was while at the university that he and his brother John and some others joined a little company of relig- iously disposed men, who from their organized method of living, were known as Methodists. John had grad - Thou hast on us the grace bestowed Thy greatness to proclaim; And, therefore, now we thank our God And' praise Thy glorious name. Thy glorious name and Nature's pow- ers Thou dost to us make known; And all the Deity is ours, Through Thy incarnate Son. A sound useful hymn is this one, culled from the great storehouse of sacred song with which the Reverend Charles Wesley endowed the church. It would be hoping too much from mortal man, to expect to find only the very grandest and most perfect hymns, in the seven thousand that he left us. Some of them, without detrac- ting from his great reputation we may say many of them, are poor both in construction and conception. On the other hand amongst them are several of the most. valuable and justly popu- lar hymns in our own language. "Jes- ut Lover of my soul," "Hark, the herald angels sing," "Come, 0 Thou Traveller unknown," "0 for a thous- and tongues," "Lord Divine, all love n excelling, "0 for a heart to praise my God," "Lo, He comes with clouds descending," "Let saints on earth," and scores of others we would not on any account lose from hymnals. Nor is it easy to find a more appropriate hymn for the combined Harvest and Armistice Thanksgiving season than the one printed above. It a pity that our poli'ticsl leaders were allowed to settle the naive "Ar- mistice" upon our Thanksgivilig day. `It was a victory day, not a mere tem- porary cessation of fighting, It might A 'Yt,,., reakf ast trou Never Tire .' s'f Cocks In 22/2 to 5 Minutes .103 e Wroxeter Cider Mill Wil be open for business on OCTOBER 1st.

In 1735, six years later, he was en- gaged by General Ogelthorpe to act as his secretary in Georgia, now one of the United States, and was ordain- ed deacon and priest in the Church of England on two successive Sundays just before setting off with his broth- er John for the other side of the At- lantic. He remained only a short time in America, but returning, was influenc- ed by Count Zinzendorf and -other IVIOrav inns, before being appointed to a curacy in Islington, Eng.

His hymns were written and i printed on sheets, then in books— sixty-three sixty-three of them!—and he had much to do with promoting the Wes- leyan revival of religion in the church of England, that ultimately led to the founding of Methodism. He died a member of his father's church, in 1788, and was buried with its ritual in the churchyard of his parish of Mar- ylebone, Loudon. . Our hymn first appeared in "Short Hymns, on select passages of Scrip- ture, 2 vols., by Charles Wesley,!' in 1762, which was the largest of his books of hymns. The passages it was meant to illustrate were given as Pro- verbs viii, 15-21. The tune Richmond was composed by the Reverend Thomas Haweis, L. L.B., M.D., who was learned in the law, a successful practising physician and an ordained clergyman in the Church of England. He was born in Cornwall in 1732, educated at Cain - bridge, and was ordained after acting as a doctor of medicine. He served at the Lock Hospital, London, as Rector of All Saints in Northamptonshire, al- so as Chaplain to the Countess of Huntingdon, and died at Bath in includ- ing c 1820, Hetitiotenuan Y hymns, I ing "O Thou, front whom all good- ness flows," and published them in a once -well-known book "Carmine Christo."
