The Huron Expositor, 1929-09-20, Page 1NTIET!:1YEAR WIitOLE NUMBER 3223 3 URON PRESBYTERY, The Presbytery of Huron 1Preeby-i terian Church in Canada. met in the l3aptist Church, Auburn, on Tuesday, Every congregation was fully repres- ented. Optimism and enthusiasm pre- vaded the meetings. The outstand- ing features were, first, the report of Rev. R. C.:McDermid, Commissioner to the General Assembly. Ms sum - nary of the proceedings of the As- sembly was a masterpiece. In his re- view of the work he vividly pictured the great work of the church. The impression left upon the Presbytery was that the democracy so character- istic of the church of all ages was very much in evidence, especially in dealing with the reports and recom- mendations of committees. It was a great assembly. The Presbytery felt the absence of Mr. F. G. Weir, the other commissioner, and deeply sym- pathized with him, as he was then un- dergoing an operation in the hospital. The next feature of note was the conveying of greetings of the Presby- tery by the Moderator, Rev. I. B. Maine, to the Presbyterial of the W. M. S., then meeting in Knox Church. A most pleasant event was the presentation and dedicating by the Presbytery of the bell of, Knox Church. Mrs. Mabel Henry, on be- half of the estate of the late A. R. Foster, of Tara, in most ltting and feeling terms, very graciously pres- ented the bell in memory of her father to the congregation of Knox Church. Mr. George Youngblutt in a neat speech, accepted the bell one- half of the congregation, than ng the donors and touched upon the be u- tiful and affectionate spirit that prompted the gift. The Moderator of Presbytery then dedicated the bell to the glory of God and for the service of the church. The outstanding theme on the docket was the joint meeting of the Presbytery and the Presbyterial in Knox Church, which was presided ov- er by Mrs. J. C. Greig, President of the Presbyterial. In her unique and gracious manner she introduced the speaker of the occasion, Rev. G. M. Dunn, of Toronto, recently appointed Secretary of the Assembly's Budget Committee. Mr. Dunn in a powerful address, presented the claims and needs of the church. He gripped his audience as he drove home fact after fact with telling effect. He put Iife into the dry bones of stastisties, and he not only proved that he had a thor- ough grasp of the whole situation, but also that through his sympathetic in- sight in the problems of the congre- gations, he impressed the mind of his audience that the Assembly had laid its hands upon the right man. 'Congratulations were extended to the Rev. Dr. Perrie, Moderator of Assembly. The Presbytery felt that the Assembly had not only honored itself in electing him to the :moder- ator's chair, but in honoring Dr: Per- rie, honor was paid to the great body of ministers outside of the large cen- tres, who, like the Venerable Doctor:, are serving the church faithfully and effectively without any biotiving of trumpets. BOWLING TOURNAMENT The annual Scotch doubles tourna- ment of the Seaforth Lawn Bowling Club, for the Savauge Trophy, with association and consolation events added, was held on their beautiful greens on Wednesday afternoon an'l evening of this week. Although the weather was cold, there was an entry of 40 rinks and play was continued well into the morning before the three events were finished. The trophy event was won by Har- vey Robinson, of Blyth; the associa- tion by Taylor Brothers, of Goderich, and the Consolation by C. Holmes and W. G. Willis, of Seaforth. The priz- es for the first event were the Sav- atage Trophy and end tables, the run- ners up getting blankets. The As- sociation prizes were, first, ferneries, and second, tea sets, and the consola- tion prizes were brass nut bowls for first, and electric lamps for second. There was also a special prize of two silver cigarette boxes for the losers in the semi -'finals of the Association event, which went to Alex. Crawford's, Wingham, rink. The play: Blyth. J. E.

Always a good fair, it was this year just a little better than usual, in fact it is some years since there has been as good a showing bf horses as was seen on Wednesday. There was, too, an exceptionally large entry of cattle, while the exhibit of sheep was pro- nounced by the judge to be the largest and finest he had ever seen at one of the smaller fairs. The inside show was equally good, although, as was to be expected, in .this, dry season, the entries of roots, vegetables and some other products, were not as numerous as usual. The day, too, was cold and the all- night rain on Tuesday made the track so heavy that the races had to be call- ed off. But weather conditions had no effect on the attendance, which was the largest in several years, the gate receipts amounting to $640. The following is a list of the suc- cessful prize winners: HORSES General Purpose --Brood mare ac- companied by foal, L. Rowcliffe, N. Scott, W. Hooper; foal, foaled in 1929, L. Rowcliffe, E. Pym, N.

They are the outcome of the conferences which had been kept up every year for ten years previous by the priests themselves at their annual Retreat. Thus was made an opening for the laity to share with the clergy in a Solemn Eucharistic day celebration. To these meetings it is customary to invite the priests and the people of the Diocese, and from beyond, the confines of a Diocese, who, gathered at a parish or an institution, carry out a programme similar to the one outlined for Seaforth and thus to- gether adore Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament of His love. St, James' Church, Seaforth, is on the highway from Stratford to Gode- rich. The surroundings are beauti- fully set for the Solemn outdoor High Mass with Deacon and Sub - Deacon, followed y the procession of the Blessed Sacrament, which will wend its way from the specially pre- pared altar of the Congress north to' the King's Highway, then west to Victoria Street, turning south along this street, and making the first pause at the residence of Mr. Joseph Mc- Millan, where, during a brief interval, the first benediction will be imparted to all present. Then the procession will find its way past the Soldiers' Monument on Victoria Street, and turn east to the residence of Mr. W. J. Duncan where the second benedic- tion will be given. Following this, the procession will proceed east to Chalk Street on its return to the High Altar of St. James' Church, where the Blessed Sacrament will remain pub- licly exposed until the closing of the Congress. Father Goetz has selected his jub- ilee year, being twenty-five years or- dained this coming December, for the Eucharistic Congress in his parish and his heartfelt wish is that this event in Seaforth will be blessed by God, not only for his own people but also for the non-Catholics of this district who have been, in season and out of season, royally kind and cour- teous, particularly so regarding the Congress in our midst. HURON PI' ES YTE R➢AL SOCIETY There was a large and interested attendance at the annual conference of the Huron Presbyterial Society, held in Knox Presbyterian Church, Auburn, on Tuesday.

Miss Lynch attended the convention as delegate from St. Columban parish, in Wind- sor, from June 17th -22nd, 1929: "It has been my honor and privilege to attend the Ninth National Convention of the Catholic Women's League, held in Windsor, Ont., June 17th to 22nd, 1929. The formal opening of the co•u- vention took place in the ball room of the Prince Edward Hotel on Mon- day night, June 17th, at 8 o'clock. The convention was opened by the Very Rev. Dean F. K. Laurandeau, who offered up a brief prayer for the success of its deliberations, while the large audience of several hundred piously knelt on the floor of the ball- room. Mrs. E. T. Duroucher, chair- man of the Central Committee of the Essex 'County subdivisions, next spoke to the delegates and welcomed thein to the Border Cities. A song of wel- come was sung by the Border Cities members of the League. Then Miss Marie Anne Masse, President of the junior subdivision, Our Lady of the Lake Church, East Windsor, address- ed the meeting and welcomed the dele- gates. Next an array of six mayors of the Border Cities spoke to the meeting, assuring the League mem- bers in turn of the welcome of Am- herstburg, Sandwich, Windsor, Wa1l:- erville, East Windsor and Belle River. On behalf of the Knights of Columbus in the Border Cities, Dr. F. L. Mc- Carroll extended greetings to the con- vention members and offered the use of their club rooms to the delegates during their stay in Windsor. Mrs. J. J. Duggan was then called on to deliver her presidential address. She warmly thanked the members of the league and the civic officials of Wind- sor for the hospitality which had been extended to convention members. Mrs. Duggan pointed out that the league has membership in 27 different coun- tries and counts 25,000,000 adherents. In speaking of the amount of money raised by the various local branches, she believed fully $270,000 had been obtained for various charitable and church purposes during the past year. In conclusion Mrs. Duggan told her audience that in her opinion the fu- ture of the League and the future of Catholic life depended on organiza- tion. She said that 43 new branches had been organized in the Dominion during the year and that the roll of subdivisions now included 36a organ- izations, and that the membership of the league was over 50,000 and ten new junior subdivisions had been formed during the last year.

Duggan, Edmon- ton, President of the League, who made a brief speech, in which she pointed out that delegates had as- sembled from all parts of Canada, many of them travelling several thou- sand miles in order to attend the ses- sions. She said they would try to make the meetings worth while for those who had come and for the peo- ple they represented. Mrs. M. J. Lyons, of Ottawa, then introduced a resolution expressing thanks for the recovery of King George, this being unanimously applauded and carried without a dissenting vote. The finan- cial report of the league during the past year was given by Mrs. J. Coffey, of Montreal. The total receipts of the year were $5,872,63 and they ex- ceeded expenditures by $1,082.
